The drivers behind this project were accessibility, efficiency, and lightness in every way. All of these were elegantly achieved through the following examples:

INTEGRATION:
Most stoves are notoriously difficult to use, but with Phoenix setup and tear down is easy. The stove, stand, fuel, windscreen are all one piece. Everything nests inside the bowl.

TECHNOLOGY:
Capillary Forced Vaporization (CFV). Micro- porous ceramic discs vaporize fuel on the fly. No need for pressurized fuel. The effect that using CFV has on the system is dramatic.

1. No small parts and no clumsy fasteners: reliable and lighter.
2. No pumping and no flare-ups: No problems. Energy saved. Less spillage into the environment.
3. No pressurized fuel canister: canister can be lightweight using recycled materials.
4. Can use almost any fuel source: including denatured alcohol which is non-petro.

EFFICIENCY:
Double wall reduces heat loss to the air, speeds up cooking using less fuel which is better for the environment. Fuel efficiency results in bringing less which saves weight. Hemispherical bowl distributes heat better than any other design, also saving fuel. The bowl is also easy to clean and stands on its own.

MATERIALS:
Economy of materials was meticulously balanced with function. This resulted in the least number of parts, no clumsy fasteners, lower material consumption, and lower weight.

CONCLUSION:
In the end, by making cooking in the wild easier, safer, and lighter, the outdoors itself becomes more accessible, thus increasing awareness and appreciation of nature.
