how is the toaks modified?

Ezra, I created a ridgeline 1 inch from the bottom of the pot. the ridge is where the pot is supported by the Trail Designs Caldera Cone.  You can see the ridge in the photo.

3 kits remaining.

(sorry, I’m new here, but…) what does the pot rest on in the normal caldera cone? what’s the difference between starlyte and more traditional (cat food can style) alcohol stoves?

thanks!

Ezra, I’ll take a stab this:

I don’t think there is a cone that works with this pot without Dan’s ridgeline. One solution that is sometimes used is to support the pot with a silicone bracelet (like a Livestrong bracelet) but they inevitably get too warm and break.

I’ve played with many alcohol stoves but I’m not an expert by any means. Some of the benefits of a Starlyte over a cat food can stove are:

• smaller size
• increased fuel efficiency
• spillproof
• lid to keep the alcohol from evaporating
• small flame in the center of the pot is better for smaller mugs because the flame is not flaring out around the side of the pot.

One benefit of a cat food stove is that you don’t need a pot stand.

You can’t really use a cat food can in a Caldera Cone. You need the pot to sit on the stove in order for it to burn properly.

A common method of supporting a ridgeless pot on a cone is two Ti wires (eg tent stakes) through the cone.

Cheers

Ezra, here are a few videos to watch that might answer some of your questions.

Caldera Cones are made for specific pots and they usually sit under the lip of the pot( you will see this in the first video posted above ) unless it is in the mode for burning wood and then it will sit on tent stakes that are inserted through holes that are drilled for that purpose in the screen , but there are many variations depending on what set up and pot you have.

Thank you my friends for helping Ezra :-)

I have 2 kits remaining.

A great Father’s Day gift for a loving father  ;)

I hope that I didn’t miss it. Just sent payment for one.

Nathan, I will ship your kit tomorrow morning. Thank you for your purchase :-)

I have one kit remaining.

I will take it…

The last one goes to John C :-)  thank you John!

I’ll ship it today.

DAN,

Any plans on making more of these 650 kits available for us members? I could really use one later this spring.

Thanks,

Tom

Tomorrow I’ll check to see what I have left. I think I have a 600 with handles and 2 750 without handles.

Thanks Dan, I would be interested in the 600 with handles.

Tom

Dan,

Re your photo of your Jun 12, 2016 at 7:18 pm post,

that’s a nice detail (the ridgeline, which rests on the cone).

Elegant, even.

Dan

Do you have any of the 750 setups left?
