I am contemplating the purchase of an Iso-Clean Stove from Flat Cat Gear.
I would like to make a pot stand out of stainless steel welded wire mesh that would simply be rolled up inside of the stove approximating its internal diameter and rising up the required 3/10ths of an inch above the stoves upper edge.
My description differs from the above image because I intend to roll the wire and insert it into the stove itself and let it press outwardly against the interior wall of the stove.
Does anyone know of a source for a small bit of suitable welded stainless mesh with 1/2" squares?
I'm thinking the wire should be around .020" to 030".
I'd like to keep the pot to stove air gap as unrestricted as possible.

Thanks for the info. I was actually looking at their site when your responses popped up.
I kept looking for 1/2" x 1/2" welded wire mesh and realized what I didn't know about the sizing.
2 x 2 welded wire mesh is actually 1/2" x 1/2" because the sizing standard is the number of squares in an inch.
Learning all the time I am! L O L
