Yes.

This is for when I'm using the firebox as a potholder/windscreen for a Trangia burner.

For sitting ON TOP of the firebox, anything will do.


I was looking at the Firebox too. It is definitely interesting but a bit on the heavy side. The extra versatility with multiple fuel types is somewhat dubious. After all, if you are using an ultralight alcohol stove or use Esbit fuel why would you spend $50 bucks and 2 lbs of weight for a pot stand? Still -- it seems to work quite well as a wood burning stove and it appears to be engineered quite well. Folds down to the size of a DVD case. I wonder if they considered using a thinner gauge of metal for the stove to save a few oz.? Moving to titanium will save weight but will the price point double?
