OK, for a C. Cone Inferno on-snow base:
(Replaces Inferno kit's 2-piece metal base)

1. round heavy duty aluminum cookie pan slightly larger than the C. Cone's base

2. round piece of 1/8" plywood double coated W/ hi temp engine enamel screwed to bottom of aluminum cookie pan

3. 2 aluminum "shepherd's crook" tent stakes to hold base & stove from sliding on snow. Crook ends hook over edge of cookie pan *OR* 10" aluminum gutter spikes thru holes drilled in pan base at each side. (cheaper & deeper)

4. A safety measure of thick branches under pan base. Leveling the pan would be important!

Rick, the CC Inferno's fire doesn't sit directly on the base sheet. A circular 1.4" wire mesh ring 1" high has another 1/4" mesh "plate" or, more correctly, grate, that sits on top of the ring. This spacing & mesh permits air to come up through the mesh & the fuel. In fact the air is SUCKED up by O2 burning and by convection - so you could say the Inferno "sucks".

Based on Hendrik's You-Tube video I feel the CC Inferno will generate plenty of heat to melt snow, boil water and cook. Hey, he boiled 1 LITER of cold Finnish lake water in just over 7 minutes. Notta too bad.

Baking with my Backpacker's Pantry fiberglas "yurt" pot cover, however would be more difficult and require hardwood coals or a few briquettes of (real) charcoal. Hmmm?
