<P><FONT size=5>I like creative people and take no pleasure criticizing their
work but it is going to be too expensive and difficult to make with all the
pegs. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5>Could pegs or fins from steel be attached to the burner pot
holder instead? Or the sides of a pot shell? I know that a fin shell works very
well.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5>He did not explain the principals very well, the pegs create
more surface area to absorb heat and slows down the flow so the pot has more
time to absorb the heat</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5>I did some calculations a couple of years ago and came tot he
conclusion that beyond 60 liters it is more practical to use a vat as a cooking
vessel, like the ones used in tortilla factories to cook corn. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5>A stainless vat is less expensive than a 100 liter aluminum pot
if you build it your self, and way way less expensive than a stainless pot.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5>Vats are easy to make with basic manual fabrication equipment
and they absorb heat very well, probably better than the rocket pot and better
than a regular pot for sure. Vats distribute heat well with less hot spots
that can scorch the food.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=5>Thin aluminum will melt if the pot goes dry so I use no less
than 6mm ¼”thick. With stainless 16 gage is thick enough for a vat.</FONT></P>
