    After 20 years the guys at trail designs are retiring. Good news is they’re looking for someone to take over the business. I’m sure over the years many here have used their cook systems which I always found to be very solid.

    More than a great product line, Russ, Rand and Lee are a fantastic group of guys.  They have given a lot to the community and have really made an impact on the UL field.  I hope that they find the right partner to carry on the Trail Design legacy.  Enjoy retirement!

    If you want repeat customers, don’t sell a product that doesn’t break.

    Haha, I was honestly thinking that same thought. Although I’ve bought multiple caldera cones for different pots.

    Hope whoever steps in continues the products.   I was super happy with their quick response and their willingness to hear “I’ve already got THIS stove, and THIS pot, but I want a cone that is like THIS” and within a few hours I had a return email with a link to a custom cone exactly what I’d dreamed up.

    Or…sell a product that does break and those that have purchased it will advise others not to.

    I’ve used the same Caldera Cone for 15+ years.  It’s pretty beat up, it’s starting to wear through in the dovetail joint but it keeps going – Even the 12-10 stove.

    We have a review of TD from when they started, around 2005 I think :

    I am still using the ones they sent me for review back then.

    Cheers

    I’m going to need to make a purchase in case they stop making their products.
