you need a series of test runs that validate the results … not just a single one
yeah its more work =P
Jan 8, 2011 at 1:29 pm #1681848agreed, I've got several part used canisters floating around I need to find
Jan 8, 2011 at 1:30 pm #1681849> a ~ 18% savings in fuel and a ~ 9% quicker boil
Seems quite realistic to me.> (not sure why those aren't the same or closer???)
No reason why they should be the same.Cheers

Run a wire all the way around and tighten so there is a friction fit between heat exchanger and pot
Then there would be more heat transfered
Jan 16, 2011 at 2:56 pm #1684844jerry- I'm not following you w/ the wire, the "exchanger" is fit via friction (it's pretty tight actually)- a wire isn't going to make it much (if any) tighter or does the wire serve another purpose ie connecting each and every fin to make it more efficient?
Jan 16, 2011 at 3:23 pm #1684849Picture being worth 1000 words:
The MSR heat exchanger has a strip of metal with some screw device to tighten around your pot. A length of wire would be easier and lighter and still do the job (maybe).
Jan 16, 2011 at 4:32 pm #1684874jerry- that's similar (bit lighter) than what MSR does w/ theirs, mine however has a simple fold over bit on each end- the "exchanger" is very tightly fit to the pot- I can shack it vigorously and it's not going anywhere- which makes it lighter yet :)
