    I tried making a few of them and found it to be easy. They work very well.

    Any of you folks out there use esbit sold fuel ?

    The one the right is a well used tray of the original design. On the left is a modified one to raise the tablet closer to the bottom of the pot.

    I like esbits to help start a fire but can't stand the smell cooking or boiling with em! The stand is a great idea!

    The 4 gram tablets have less odor. Found that out this year testing them versus the 14 gram tablets. Lots of testing going on over at backpackinglight.com

    Use aluminum foil folded double, Use paper punch for lots of incoming air holes at base. Use aluminum roasting pan material also.

    I think I've narrowed down to zelps bget stove vs the caldera set up...
    Like the Caldera set up but limits me to using one pot(sp600)....when I take my son I usually carry the gsi kettle as it holds enough water for 2 meals..etc...are both similar as far as efficiency or if the cauldera is lots more efficient I could heat 2 pots of water in the sp 600....thoughts?

    The BGET style tray is the most efficient compared to the Trail Designs. It has the bread pan corners to prevent loss of the melting esbit. Very Efficient.

    This photo show the bread pan corners:
