titanium stakes – galvanized?

[Dont Wantto]

I heard about the dangers of using galvanized metals around the stove — the heat makes them produce toxic fumes.

Does anyone know if Titanium stakes fall in to this category? I bought mine from backcountrygear.com.. no brand name or anything. Just plain titanium stakes.

Is it dangerous to use these as part of a windscreen (where it will get hot)?

[Kendall Willets]

no.

I am not sure you could even get zinc to stick to titanium!
If they are not painted, they are bare Ti.

Plus, steel is often galvanized to prevent it from rusting. Titanium does not rust, so there wouldn't be much point to galvanizing it.

Also, titanium is excellent when used as a lightweight windscreen or heat reflector, because it has tremendous tolerance for heat.
