So, I made a few beer can pots and really like them: http://www.freewebs.com/jasonklass/myexperimentsadventures.htm So far I like the Henekin one best because of the ident which makes it easier to pick up. My idea is to add some kind of insulation that goes around the middle part so you can lift it off the stove without using a pot gripper or bandana and so that it can serve as an insulated mug. I’ve already tried foam (it melted). I have some Kevlar wick that I could wrap around it but it’s thick and would make it pretty bulky (I might order some thinner stuff). Any other ideas?
P.S. I do not want to add a wire bail or handle. Basically, I’m only interested in material that will insulate and won’t melt. I use a tea light stove and the flames only touch the very bottom of the can so the material won’t come in contact with the flames. Thanks for any suggestions.
