opened up the fuel feed hole to accept a Trangia stove with a pair of metal cutting shears...worked well with the tapered cup due to the increase of surface area of the exposed sides of the cup... didn't try the bottle

I wanted to pack Sterno or other jelled alcohol for my car kit... opened the access hole further, to accept a sterno can.... pretty close to full diameter...may be too much for your wind trials, but worked in light wind, and also with paraffin heat source (lot of soot)

have you done a test with the Swiss Ranger Volcano set?

Hi, Les,

I've seen the Swiss Ranger Volcano set. I haven't worked with one, but I know a lot of people like them. They certainly look sturdy.

They've always struck me as a bit heavy looking. Do you know what your set weighs?

Both the Clikstand and the Caldera Cone break down pretty nicely. I have a photo on my blog of the Caldera Cone all stowed. I'll have to post a photo of the Clikstand when disassembled.
