There has been talk about warming a canister a bit by inverting it, pouring a little warm water into the concavity, and then placing a tight fitting cap on the bottom to keep the water from seeping out when it is placed back upright. I couldn't locate the thread where it was posted, so I decided to start a new one. A major issue has been just where to find a cap that would snugly seal the canister bottom. I found one:

I bought the cookies on an $ 0.89 lark, thinking the cups would be great to mix up a powdered breakfast smoothie or something. But they only hold 1.5 cups, and the lid doesn't really seal very well on the stock cup. But it is a perfect secure fit for one of these:

That's a win-win for you both, Larry.

Bonus: I just found out that a mini Bic perfectly fits into the canister concavity, and it is held firmly in place by the Nutter Butter lid. By the way, the lid weighs 5 g., and the cup is 11 g.

I would assume that is for transport, and not for when the water is present.

Good thinking, Bob. However, if you had 2 mini Bics, you could soak one in the water and use the other to light the stove. You could rotate them on a daily basis. We don't want our Bics to dry out too much, do we?
