I was googling around thinking it'd be cool to hear what Colin Fletcher sounded like (even better would be a video) and found this radio interview from 1997. Unfortunately I can't get it to play on...

Check out Trail Designs Inferno addition to their Caldera Cone system:

I don't have one...

Skidsteer - Good tip about the holes. I really don't have any idea what makes stoves more efficient! I've already made a Kitten stove with the holes low, so I'm set.

Franco - With all those holes...

Can you edit these posts? Don't see how.

Anyway, the ultimate reason not to buy a 12-10 stove from Trail Designs is they don't sell them without a cone. And I'd rather make my own clones for a...

Franco - Thanks for the info and the photo. I threw together a stove with those types of cans but no bottom or priming pan. I just used aluminum tape on the bottom.

Without the bottom the outer...

I've now made a couple Caldera clones and I'd love to know how to make the stove real Caldera Cones come with. I've made a kitten stove (thanks to instructions on this site!) and it seems to work...

Muledeer - Did you use a silicone band around the Foster's can to hold it on the cone, like the official cone does?

Also, did you use Captain Paranoia's postscript file or just draw out the cone...

Well, after a year or so I've finally made a couple Caldera clones. One is for an Antigravity Gear 3 cup pot.

The other is for a 12oz Heineken beer can pot. Since I only need to boil 1.25 cups...

My first stove was a penny stove and it's kind of fussy to get going. So on recent trips I've been using my backup stove: the bottom couple of inches of a soda can. That's it. (Credit for this design...

Correct--that's the video by the guy on the hammockforums. There is discussion about it at the thread there I linked to.

Thanks for the info on the tabs. I'll get around to making one in a while, but I'm going to work on my tarp project first. And yeah, good point about not needing a primer pan. Who knows why the Cone...

Funny you should mention that. I posted a topic here on WB about that the same day I started this topic! You could ask the guy who posted the program how to work it. Try the programmers' thread on...

That's good to know. I guess it's not super-critical to use one kind of stove with a cone. On the other hand I'd still like to try something like the stove they come with. So I bought a six-pack of...

Yup, the Kitten Stove is what the Trail Designs picture looks like. BTW, I guess their primer pan is a loose piece since they sell it separately for other stoves. I had thought they glued it onto the...

I'm planning to make my own Caldera Cone (see other thread I started today).

Anyone who's seen one, what kind of stove does the Trail Designs Caldera Cone come with? I figure since they've done...

I don't really want to spend the money for a Caldera Cone, especially since it's only good for one pot size. So I think I'll make my own.

Googling got me to a good paper pattern for cutting one...

The plastic frame sheet comes standard with one aluminum stay embedded in it. An option he offers is a frame sheet with two aluminum stays. It ways a little more and costs a little more.

Of...

When I called Brian to order mine I asked him some questions, like what was the second stay meant for. He said it doesn't really do anything for heavier weights, it's more for stability off trail. So...

For myself, I loved the sound of the Circuit but needed a pack that could carry a bear can (I backpack in the Sierras) and maybe a weeks worth of food. And I didn't want to buy a different pack for...

No, I have not gotten in any my miles with my new Catalyst. It's awaiting shipment to me. Once it gets here I'll have to find somewhere to go in the lowlands (the Sierras are too snowy for me this...

I suspect she meant this:

Yep.

A google search brought up this article...

The two podcast site guys have strangely similar low key styles. Actually, Robert is lively compared to Bernie/Reality.

Where's Terrie Gross when you need her? ;)

I was intrigued by this hybrid internal/external frame design for it's ability to keep your back cool. But it won't hold a Garcia bear can (I hike in the Sierras) and the frame makes it hard to cram...

I like that it's not about the AT, and that it's not full of silly, nasty name calling and such.

I don't like just how much of a control freak he is. But I can see how it's sorta the best way to...
