Not sure is anyone saw this, MSR will soon be releasing a new stove system – the MSR Switch. It looks to be a hybrid system, some advantages of an HX pot (fuel efficiency / wind protection) while maintaining no localized hot spots associated with HX mugs. The hemispherical bottom basically doubles the surface area. Seems pricey to me. Looking forward to companies knocking off the Hemispherical bottom / wind blocking features at a lower price (if it works).
Fire Maple has launched a new HX mug: the G2. Larger than the G2: wider and 750 ml compared to 600 ml for the G3 and can nest an 8 oz fuel canister.
