The Trail Designs Caldera Cone Stove system is very unique and works hand in hand with the AntiGravityGear 3 Cup pot. The cone is made of sheet metal and comes rolled up to prevent it from being bent. The cone has a grove down the side that is bent in a way to match up with the other side to keep it held together into a cone. There are slots that are spaced out along the top and bottom portion of the cone to allow gases and air to escape to prevent pressure from building up inside the cone. The diameter at the top of the cone is smaller than the bottom. The top of the cone is designed to accept a specific sized pot; in this case it fits a 3 cup pot. The pot fits snug inside the top of the cone. The top edge of the cone supports the top lip of the pot. The top of the cone has a small notch to allow pot grippers to grab the pot to be lifted out of the cone.
When it’s time to cook, the stove is filled with denatured alcohol to the desired level and lit. The stove that came with this set is a center or top burning ‘can’ stove; not side burning. Once the stove has been lit and a flame is established, the cone can be placed over the stove with the stove centered in the base of the cone. A word of warning, even though you can not see the flame, DO NOT put your hand or fingers near the opening of the stove where the fuel is. Denatured alcohol burns very clear and clean and a flame is usually not visible.
The pot is then placed in the opening at the top of the cone. It is now ready to cook with. Depending on the pot depth, the bottom of the pot will be approximately 1 to 2 in. above the top of the stove. This will allow uniform distribution of the heat and the flame from the stove.
The ‘can’ stove, filler cup, pot grippers, fuel bottle and cone fit nice and neat inside the screw lid container. The picture shows the stove sitting on the rim but this was just to show everything inside. The stove is turned over and the opening of the stove is placed directly over the cap of the fuel bottle, this allows everything to fit.
Stay tuned for field tests and hopefully some delicious meals that can be cooked in this great cook set.
