Owner Review of the Trail Designs Sidewinder Ti-Tri Caldera Cone Stove

Hi

As part of my renewing of my gear given my forthcoming Dreaming Tour I purchased a Trail Designs Sidewinder Ti-Tri stove system.

I have now had a bit of change to play with the kit and I am pretty happy with the way it performed.

My average fuel usage was 68 ml per day and I found I could easily boil 300 ml on 15 ml and 600 ml on 20 ml. All up pretty happy with the beast. What really grabbed me about the kit besides it lightweight and efficiency (in terms of alcohol stoves) is the peacefulness of cooking with it. It just fits with my new philosophy of bushwalking and cycle touring - slowing down and enjoying the ride so to speak

I have written up a review which is available here for those interested. I am also interested in others experiences with this stove and/or similar.



Andrew

Thanks for your comments. I was a little worried about the handles at first but if the pot is set properly they actually don't heat up. So at least in this set-up it seems to be okay.

Regards
Andrew
