I have noticed that the forum has been quiet for a while, so I thought I would add a topic. Actually, this message got deleted, since it was not accepted as...
The water and pot will only "take" heat so fast. After that point the heat applied is lost, going up the sides. Have you taken the plastic/neoprene off the...
OOOOps, I meant it cut the fuel usage in half, I doubled the length of time I can use the canister. The Titan pot wasn't nearly as efficient as the Jet Boil...

... No lead, but zinc. If you search the archives, I think there is some good information. You should not breathe the zinc fumes as the galvanization burns...
Hi, I can't remember if you call it hardware cloth , but definitely inquire for NON ZINCO PLATED/NON GALVANIZED metal screen. ZINC does't come off very...
Addressing both points - As Shane said, the 'galvanization' on the hardware cloth is zinc - it's there to help slow down rust. You can avoid the toxic issue...
