Definitely buy the VARGO stove. Brian and I discussed this product about 2 years ago, although I am in "no cook mode" these days, I LOVE the idea about saving weight and using natural materials as fuel. Makes a TON OF SENSE.

I bought the titanium for my stove here:

You can also try an industrial supply house like McMaster-Carr, a generally great source for things like metals and other raw materials for DIY work. Here's the link to their Titanium Sheet, Bar and Strip page. The thickness you'll most likely want is .020", which is pretty cheap from them (a 12"x12" sheet is $36.85.)

I tend to use sources like this because they're cheaper and very reliable.

The Vargo wood stove was demonstrated at Trail Days - very nice stove at 4.1 oz. A single 12"x12" of .020" thickness commercially pure titanium is going to weigh about 7.5 oz so the Vargo stove probably uses .005"-.008" thickness which is not readily available. Titanium is much harder to work with than Aluminum and often waterjet cutting is often used in making stove products. If you want the satisfaction of making it yourself and time and finished weight are not a concern, then DIY. If you want a well designed ultralight option, then the Vargo is a great choice.

OK folks. Mission accomplished. That was good! Less then two days, I wish I could hire you all, WHAT A TEAM!! Two birds with one stone. (1) I have found Titanium for future projects, and (2) I am going with the Vargo Stove. If I had a CNC machine in my shop I could not fabricate one at twice the cost. Thank you all very much for your input and help.
