I'm about to buy a Caldera Cone Tri Ti W/Inferno & ESBIT gram cracker conversions.

So what is the short list of GOOD alcohol stoves that work in the Tri Ti and other regular sized Caldera Cones?

The one from Ti Goat comes with a stove. The stove is designed to work with the Caldera Cone system.

Is that the only alky stove that works well with the CC Tri Ti?

Rand is an engineer and has spent a lot of design time and testing to make the Cone and stove compatible.

The Ti will not melt if overheated, but you will waste energy.

I have made dozens of stoves of several designs, none of them have been as efficient as the one that comes with that kit. By that I mean that I can get a faster boil but use a lot more fuel (about 1/3rd) or use less fuel but take about twice as long to boil.
Ax much as you like tinkering, I would leave this one alone.
Well, I did make a gas conversion...(works very well...)
