I have added the Trillium base to my stove and I love it. However, it does not fit (nesting) in my Evernew pot. I am thinking about cutting it as shown in this picture (cut along the red line). I do not use the hole that would be eliminated in this modification.

I like to nest my cookset in the pot and the base is the odd man out!

Thoughts?

I also have this base for my Dragonfly stove. It is really makes the stove stable. I like to store my things together also so good idea. I don’t see anything wrong with cutting it a bit to fit your gear. By cutting the base you will still have plenty of stove support. Use a cutoff wheel to cut and file off the sharp edges, then use a sander to smooth the edges.

Cut away!! I use one also along with some old discontinued Uco bases. On question, are you using the Trillium with a New stle Whisperlite? I tries a Universal but it does not fit any configuration. The blade pot supports have bigger feet than Simmerlite's and Windpro's.

I pack my pot's with cleaning gear and or salt/pepper/spices. The Trillium goes into the MSR stove bag packed as is.

My stove is probably 10 years old. It is not the universal for sure. Here is a pic of how I mount it.

What are the "wings" for? I am guessing they are for the dragonfly.

I am thinking about upgrading to the MSR 2.5L pot where I can put the stove, the base, and a couple of bowls all together in the pot. Not a lot of reviews on the MSR pot though.

the wings are for versions of the MSR XGK's or Whisperlites. Dragonfly wire loop base goes in the paired "oblong" holes under the tabs

Trillium fits a bunch of old version MSR stoves, only tried it on a new Universal once but quit quickly as it was not my stove.

Well, my goodness, that looks like a perfect thing to put on my Christmas list!

This mod was very easy. I used my Dremel with a cutoff wheel followed by fine-tuning with a bench grinder. The latter was not required for functionality...just made it pretty! Start to finish was about 30 minutes.

Do any of you Trillium users know if this will fit a Simmerlite?
 
02/20/2021 05:21PM  
Sure will

Thanks, Bh! I was hoping you’d chime in with the answer!
