Good thought, and I really like that website (great reviews), but it's an unpaid gig is it not? HJ

But what if you had a low-slung remote canister like maybe a Primus Express Spider?
... (snip ) ...
I suspect it wouldn't work because the Cone restricts air flow too much. Gas burners need a fair amount of oxygen. Insufficient oxygen would result in an inefficient flame and a lot of carbon monoxide emission. Interesting thought, though. I'm going to have to think about that one.
Now you've got me thinking: You could probably leave the wind screen partial open, giving more oxygen and preventing overheating of the hose. Not as efficient as the closed unit, but still way beyond most other crummy half-baked wind screen design. I guess what I really want I is a wind screen for my gas burner that can do double duty as a Caldera cone wood stove.

Another very cool review. Great product and even I can figure this one out. Thanks a bunch. It's a really nice one. Nice big fire box. Integrated wind screen. Stable. You can feed in more wood without taking the pot off the stove. Very little ash left behind. Let me put it to you this way: NICE. HJ

Jim,
Your explaination of why a wood stove is, as usual, was my explaination - plus, but much more eloquent. Thanks.
How do you compare the sidewinder with the conventional cone? I was just about convinced to buy a Ti-Tri with an inferno, now I am sure, as soon as I pay for my HugeCanine silent burner for my XGK-EX. I just have to decide on the conventional design or the sidewinder. I would expect the conventional design to be more efficient but not as easily carried. What say you? Anything I have missed?
Thanks again,
Jerry

Jim,
I am beginning my thought process on buying a Ti-Tri. One of the first decisions is between the Sidewinder and the conventional cone. I would think the conventional design more efficient. True - or not? The sidewinder might be easier to feed. I don't know.
Now about the pot size? Mostly I would use it for the noon tea, but it would be nice to have one that could really cook as well. Do you expect the larger pots to be significantly less efficient for boiling a few cups of water (I use a BIG mug)?
Thanks for your time,
Jerry
