Ok, I want to try dry baking, but I don't want to melt my caldera cone or titanium pots. Here is my current gear list ->

I would prefer cooking with alcohol. But I know alcohol has the potential to overboil and melt my pots. So I don't want that.
I have my graham cracker...and would rather avoid esbit...and I don't think I could use this anyway, since it would need to simmer more? I.e., the graham cracker would produce too much heat?
I could also use tealights....though they seem like they would be heavier per energy than alcohol? I could be wrong there. And I don't like the idea of having to wait for them to reharden before moving them.
So that leaves me with ->
12-10 stove: I could ask for the simmer ring from trail designs
Starlyte stoves: I'm pretty sure I could use the modified versions of the starlytes for more simmering...though I do have a carbon felt pad that gives an even smaller opening....
So, I technically do have a wire mesh stand I could use for steam baking...though it sounds like most people don't like that way of baking b/c it leaves everything too moist.
My original though is to use my caldera cone, with 1.3L evernew, with the 5" daddio. With either alcohol stove....would I need to raise the pot with stakes in the caldera cone? Otherwise...it would get too hot....but what about using the small diameter carbon pad with a starlyte?
Or even...what if I did use tealights? Could I rest the pot on the caldera cone then and not worry about overheating?
And......I could use either the hillbilly or 600ML olicamp cups with the 3" daddio, and I guess use aluminum foil lid with the carbon felt hat....but then I would need to come up with some sort of stand to raise the pot off an alcohol stove....I could still use the caldera cone as a windscreen though....
Anyway....just worried about ruining my gear...or cooking...so please dissuade my fears!
