HJ (and the rest of you :-),

Now that you have convinced me that a Ti-Tri is the right stove to try, I have some decisions to make. Your advice is welcome!

Sidewinder vs conventional cone. Obviously the sidewinder is easier to store, but is it as efficient? Is it easier to feed in the wood fire in the sidewinder? Are there other considerations to think about?

Pot size and shape. I could get one for my MSR Titan Kettle (I have the alu. cone for this one) or for my Snow Peak 700, but a different pot might have advantages. Since my expected use is for short trips and the noon kettle on day trips, boiling water is the primary use. It would be interesting though to try some real cooking on it. Particularly on the wood burner. That would imply a wider and (relatively shallower) pot might be more useful. I also find that the above pots are too small (require 2 fillings or more) for a meal (entree and tea, and?). Are the larger pots inefficient for boiling when not full?

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Jerry
