I’ve been building up my UL canister fuel winter snow melting kit and have settled on using the copper wire moulder strip to keep the canister isobutane at high enough of a temp to work properly. One concern I’ve had is in being able to monitor the canister temp, at least to the point of warning if close to too hot.
Since canisters are only “good” up to 120*F according to the warning label, I figured the thermometer strips for foreheads would be perfect, since they often start at around 95*F and are very visible when activated. They go up to 105 or so, but the extra temps can be cut off.
It weighs so little, my scale can’t even register it. Basically as heavy as a piece of paper the same size.
I have mine stuck on the canister with food container plastic cling wrap.
Any thoughts on why this would not be a good idea? Is 95* still cutting it too close to 120?
I also figure I would place it closer to the moulder strip, so it reads a higher temp than what is in the canister net-wise, for even more safety margin.
