I am about to buy some ti stakes for my hammock setup. I am also wanting to use a couple of these stakes as part of my cook system. I plan on using wood and alcohol as my fuel sources. I see that the ti-stakes are anywhere from 6"-7.75" long, and from what I can find-- between 2.5mm-3mm thick. The span of the pot supports would be approximately 5 inches (5" without any support) & I am planning on using a 850-900ml pot mug (MSR Titan or evernew mug pot).
Do you know how strong they will be (as a pot support) while used over heat. Would the weight (potentially almost 4 cups of water) be too much on the stakes when they are heated? I know that the ti stakes are used quite a bit in cook setups, I just would like to know if a span of 5" (maybe 5.5") combined with 4 cups (8lbs), and the heat would bend the stakes to the point of the pot falling :eek:. I don't care if my stakes are a little warped--they will get that way regardless. FWIW, I don't plan on heating the full capacity of the pots/mugs with water (normally just 2 cups)-- but if the issue arises, I would like to have that option if I needed it.
If you have any experience with a similar sized pot and span that would be great info. Thanks in advance!
