(…new to all this, so I hope this hasn't been covered to death…)
I was hoping to replace the Jetboil (my wife's favorite piece of gear) with something lighter, but I'm concerned about placing beer cans over a fire. They're lined with plastic – and the pasteurizing temps fall well below boiling – so they're not designed to get anywhere near 212F. And I'd guess that the can itself gets quite a bit hotter than the water.
Anyone know anything about this?
Feb 15, 2008 at 2:18 pm #1420761I would think that the inner surface of a beer can full of water will be only fractionally above boiling point. I never use my beercan pot for anything other than boiling water, sometimes with pasta but before it is soft it is transferred to a cosy.
I would be interested too if anyone knows whether any beer cans are lined with plasticFeb 15, 2008 at 2:21 pm #1420763by the way I think jetboil could take quite a bit of heavy steel away from its burner surround without loosing effectiveness.

Yeah, fractions of a degree actually.
