I’ve been using a primus white gas stove for many years and the mat tore. What is a good sturdy replacement option? Anybody just use a ccf pad to cook on?

I’m trying to decide on this too, but for remote canister with a wind screen. I am looking at a heavy foil/pie pan or carbon felt. No idea how much heat a CCF pad can take. I’d worry about melting it.

It’s been awhile since I was using white gas. I had a dragonfly specifically for snow camping and had MSR’s platform to keep the narrow legs from melting/sinking into the snow.  It didn’t seem particularly fireproof, and wouldn’t need to be, but with a larger pot and enclosed windscreen there will be downward heat. The MSR foil windscreen comes with a foil disk, which may be enough. Carbon fiber would definitely work in my mind.   I’ve since changed over to canisters, and do have a ccf disk for the canister, but I don’t think that applies here.

I would do the carbon fiber DIY and/or get the MSR foil kit and see if either or both is adequate before getting fancier.
