It is also nice not to use a grab handle - I've never felt my
dinner was secure holding a saucepan with a grab handle in the left hand
whilst eating!

I hold my pan MSR Alpine cookset

of nosh with the lid under it. Stops burnt fingers and melted
groundsheet equally well.

Oops - sorry for shouting, but like Peewig I'm a bit over exited by the
event!

Excellent news! They're lovely :-)

It seems like a nice bit of kit - I tried it on my new Brasslite meths stove
by the back step. [...]

Are you pleased with the new stove too?

Best wishes,

Oh, OK then, more sensibly how are the stoves, the Brasslite and the
Micron respectively? Not that I'm stalking or owt, just interested :-)

THe Brasslite and MSR Titanium Kettle seem a good combination. I made a
windshield (out of beer cans) to the Brasslite instructions and also a
'cozy' (out of radiator reflector). The cozy is great - I can bring a packet
food that needs simmering to the boil (on < 3/4 oz of fuel) and put it in
the cozy. After 10 mins the food is nicely cooked and still _very_ hot.
Another advantage of the cozy is that the food doesn't stick, as is likely
with simmering. The weight of the cozy is pretty insignificant - about 30
grams.

Velly intelesting, I looked at radiator reflector (B&Q et al) and
wondered if it was flame proof?

Doesn't need to be - you take the pot off the stove and put it into the cozy
to 'stew'.
