Thanks, Doug. What would I ask for? I'm right by Lake Ontario- there should
be some stores around that have that sort of thing if I know where to look.

(P.S. bronze screen was suggested by someone else- probably the corrosion
resistance and high thermal conductivity). Bronze wool would be ideal, I
can just stuff the torch handle with it. I've just ordered a commercial one
for the gas generator itself.

Best regards,
