Okay, so most of you have probably heard of the new Trail Designs Caldera Cone (http://www.traildesigns.com/products01.html) (scroll to the bottom). If you scroll far enough, you'll see a note that they have some prototype cones for sale that fit pots other than the AGG.
Since I really like my Snowpeak Titanium 600 Mug (http://www.snowpeak.com/gears/mg042fh.htm), I sent an email to see if, maybe, they'd have a SP600 Caldera model left. Luckily they did, and sent it out the next day.
It just showed up this morning, and I must say I am impressed not only by the product itself but also by the customer service I've gotten from Rand and the others at TD (They were also willing to sell me one of the Esbit Kits that Rand has mentioned on the BPL.com forums).
I figured I'd post some pics and comments about the kit. Sometime soon I'll get a burn or two going and give you my impressions.
However, some initial impressions:
1) Very nicely finished.
2) Light (not weighed it yet, but it's light)
3) Dead simple to assemble.
Anyhow, enjoy the pics.
