I had a similar foldable foam sit mat to the one from Clas Ohlsen in my cupboard so I've cut out a couple of different models (one square, one round) that will fold up and sit in my pot. I'm not sure that the wooden component of the Mk I pad is strictly necessary so I'll try one of the foam ones. I do intend, however, to reinforce it with some aluminium tape on the side that will face the stove.Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-60223203218519568692010-12-29T21:18:20.758+01:002010-12-29T21:18:20.758+01:00Just an idea which may save you and others some ti...Just an idea which may save you and others some time and effort.<br />Clas Ohlson are selling a collapsable, very lightweight sit mat which folds down to around 100mmm square.<br />It only costs £1.99<br />You can find it here.<br />http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/Siteseeker/Search_o.aspx?q=34-1572<br /><br />Hope this might be useful in the future...AlanAlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-49393301092891093062010-12-22T17:27:51.923+01:002010-12-22T17:27:51.923+01:00BG! - yes, the exposed studs have caused me a bit ...BG! - yes, the exposed studs have caused me a bit of consternation. I have thought about using the wonder that is duct tape as the hinge. I could always carry it the side pocket of my Pinnacle to keep it from harming delicate quilts and clothing inside.<br /><br />Maz - no chance! I wouldn't inflict my half-arsed manufacturing skills on anyone but me!<br /><br />Thomas - cheers!<br /><br />Phil - I have ideas for a Mark II already and some reflectix and aluminium tape are included!Joe Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907231785281446095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-51562709911439739292010-12-22T17:25:28.305+01:002010-12-22T17:25:28.305+01:00Very neat.

Seems to work just fine, but I'm also using liquid fuel and don't have to keep the isobutane warm.Philip Wernerhttp://sectionhiker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399206197069094470.post-19065978838392887262010-12-22T16:02:18.212+01:002010-12-22T16:02:18.212+01:00Cool stuff, good work :)Cool stuff, good work :)Thomas W.
