Anyone out there encounter condensation on their pot putting out their White Box Stove?
When I was in RMNP in July the 2 mornings I boiled water the condensation that formed on my pot, a 2 liter MSR titan, put the flames out. The humidity was high since there were rainstorms aall 3 days I was there. I had to hold the pot up for awhile till the water started to warm before I could put it on the stove. I noticed that if I lifted the pot to check the flame that there was a circle of moisture on the pot above where you put the fuel into the stove. I was worried about water mixing in with the fuel.

No, I love my white box stove. I've used it at 10,000 in the winter and never had a problem but you always have to wait a few minutes for the flames to come out the side.
After the stove flowered out I would put my pot on the stove and then it would condense and put the stove out.
I imagine it could be the high humidity…this is something you rarely see at 10,000 feet in winter. I don't know what you could do about it other than what you are already doing. You would probably get the same amount of condensation on your pot no matter what stove you use in those conditions, but maybe pressurised stoves like the White Box are more sensitive to this?
Similar to the white box tinnys bios two did the same thing. I attributed it to using denatured alcohol from ace, which I have since learned varies from batch to batch and that the content could be different. Switching from that to the heet in a yellow bottle the problem went away.
