This new cook system has all the great alcohol and esbit efficiency features of the classic Caldera cone, but also allows you to burn wood! No other system gives you this kind of fuel versatility, at these weights.

The complete system includes the, 12-10 stove, Ti-Tri titanium cone, fuel bottle, measuring cup, titanium stakes for wood burning mode, and our new GramCracker solid fuel kit. For an additional $15, we will add the pictured titanium "floor" to protect the the ground during wood burning mode.

There are now *TWO* ways you can acquire a Ti-Tri system:

• Option 1, if you would like the complete system pictured to the left, including your choice of 550ml or 900ml titanium pots, please visit the good folks at Titanium Goat
  and they can fix you up!
• Option 2, if you already have your own pot, and it is one of those listed below in the Caldera section, Trail Designs would be happy to build you a custom system to go with your pot. Please contact with the type of pot you own, whether you would like a floor or not, and your mailing address, and we will get right back to you with all the information you need!

"Think of the Caldera Cone Stove System as an alcohol version of the JetBoil without the weight penalty!"

This is a revolutionary approach to alcohol stove cookery. Trail Designs^TM has developed a cone and stove system that is tuned to specific pots to create the most efficient alcohol stove system in the known universe.

By completely enclosing the pot and stove within the Caldera Cone, and fine tuning the alcohol stove (included) to work in that environment, we are now able to milk every last BTU out of your fuel and funnel it onto all sides of your pot. Not only does the cone system optimize your fuel usage, we also eliminate the need for a pot stand by supporting the pot from the top of the cone.....and its wide base provides the most stable system on the market. And if that weren't enough, by totally enclosing the pot and stove, nothing performs better in the wind. Period. The Caldera Cone unfolds to pack flat or you can roll it up for easy storage.

This latest version of the Caldera Cone features a bomb-proof dovetail closure mechanism, venting that is biased to one side so you can block the wind better, and is made of lighter weight material. The Caldera System includes the cone, custom tuned stove, fuel bottle, measuring cup and the new CALDERA CADDY to protect all the pieces and double as a mug and bowl!

NOT FOR USE WITH WOOD OR PETROLEUM FIRES!!!! For wood fires see the Ti-Tri above

"The cola can stoves were a major breakthrough in ultralightweight hiking, consider them something Orville and Wilber would have flown, what the Caldera Cone does is more akin to a Saturn V."

Introducing an important innovation in windscreen design, the Vari-Vent! Traditional/Classic/MSR-style windscreens require air to come over the top of your screen and by your pot to fuel your stove. Windscreens with perforation along the bottom don't block the wind and require you to do unnatural acts with boulders. The patent pending Vari-Vent technology provides a series of variable vents along the bottom edge of your windscreen, allowing you to close off the upwind side while keeping the downwind side open. Further, by allowing you to customize your windscreen venting in the field, and offering a range of heights (nominally 4", 6" and 8" - 28" long) to fit your system, you can get it closer to, and higher up, your pot. The edges are rolled to make it stronger and safer to use. The screen will fold flat for storage or you can wrap it around your fuel bottle. (4" and 6" screens run 3/8" taller than nominal)

Finally, standard windscreens at a reasonable price! Trail Designs' Classic Windscreen is offered in three different heights (nominally 4", 6" and 8" - 28" long) allowing you to pick the right size to fit your gear. The edges are rolled to make it safer to use, and they are a fraction of the cost of the big name brand!! The windscreen is designed to hold up over repeated foldings or you can wrap it around your fuel bottle for easy storage. (4" and 6" screens run 3/8" taller than nominal)
