Just received a really cool kit in the mail from Zelph at Zelph’s Stoveworks. I saw this being discussed over at https://backpackinglight.com forums. Zelph has produced a clever mod to the Toaks titanium pots that allows them to cleanly mate with a Trail Designs titanium Sidewinder Caldera Cone. It’s a pretty nifty setup. The titanium pot is machined to form a bead around the perimeter to hold the pot on the cone at the correct height to work with the Starlight burner. The cone rolls up and fits sideways in the pot, along with room for the modified Starlight Burner and a fuel bottle inside the cone. The Starlight burner has been modified with a smaller aperture so it works well in an enclosed space like under a Caldera Cone. Also included in this “experimenter” kit is a Brian Green Esbit Tray (BGET) made from stainless foil, a mini-Esbitmizer burner, and three cubes of Esbit fuel.
The Toaks Ti 550 light version without handles weighs in at 43g. The Ti lid weighs 18g, and the stuff sack weighs 12g.
The Trail Designs Titanium Sidewinder Cone for the 550 weighs 18g.
The modified Starlight burner weighs 13g and the lid Weighs 2g.
The Brian Green tray weighs under a gram and is stored in a 10g tin.
The mini-Esbitmeizer weighs 12g.
I plan to carry the 550/cone with Starlight burner @106g.
I did a performance test outdoors in 55F breezy weather and 2 cups of water comes to a full boil with 16g of fuel in about 16 minutes. The burner burns about a gram a minute.
