    Fiberglass Mat for Ultralight Alcohol Stove
    Alcohol Stove Mat
    Now available:
    red, or yellow borders for the Alcohol Stove Mat as well as black in all three sizes. See my other listings.
    Note:  The Alcohol Stove Mat is not a fireproof product.  It is not designed to prevent fires.  The grosgrain which bands the edge is flammable
    and is meant to burn, giving a visual warning that the mat has alcohol burning on it, in case the user has mishandled the stove or alcohol and has alcohol burning on the mat.
    Description:
    Stove mat is made from fibreglass for the body and grosgrain edging.  The fibreglass sheet is first marked to size and then the parameter is stitched with 100% polyester thread.  Then the mat is cut from the fibreglass sheet.  I used a mat in this form for backpacking, but I felt that I had to be more careful as not to have the edges fray, so, I added grosgrain to the parameter.  The grosgrain is 100% polyester, is a wrapped around edges on all four sides.  This mat is the same front and back.
    I now make three sizes.  The original 4" x 6", and the 6" x 6" sizes, and I have added a 5" x 6".  All three are a bit larger than their named size to the edge of the grosgrain.  It sounds silly to refer to the 6" x 5" mat as a six and seven eights by five and five sixteenths.
    The are now three colors to choose from.  Original black, red, or yellow.  I am also happy to make custom colors, just contact me.
    Using the mat is simple.  I wanted something to set my alcohol stove on to protect the ground as well as the bottom of my stove.  I take the stove out of the cook kit, pull the fibreglass mat out, put it on a level piece of ground or a flat rock, put the stove on top of that, fill it with alcohol, light it, put the wind screen up, and start cooking.
    Size:  6" x 6" for the fiberglass within the grosgrain and a bit over 6" x 6" to the outside edge of the grosgrain.
    Weight:  0.29 oz. (8.3 grams)
    The photos include a fancy feast stove and an imusa pot for size comparison, it's a commonly used stove, and slightly larger in diameter than a bud light stove.  The stove is not included in the auction.  There is also a photo of a Imusa pot, the popular grease pot that can be found at discount stores, the grease pot is not included.
    Some photos show an alcohol stove and an imusa pot to demonstrate size and set-up, the stove and the imusa pot are NOT included in the auction.  Also shown in photos are the three mat sizes I make for comparison.  This auction is for one 6" x 6" fibreglass mat.
