" DR. H.A.MCGUIGAN FOR THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN DOCKET CASE NO. 540" pops up all over the internet if you search for 'is aluminium safe'...goes to show how much harm an article can do.
Your spot on about burning food in Titanium ware, its pretty much the worst thing in terms of heat spread you can make a pot out of; stainless steel is better but aluminium is better still for heat distribution and IIRC better than cast iron. I use a mix of pans for camping, aluminium sets, stainless steel sets, steel paella pans for frying as they season well and are lighter than cast iron; to be honest the only cast iron I use now is the Le Creuset set mom gave us as a wedding present 36 years ago.
Back on topic, the stove in question, how easy is it to assemble ? I had a Honey stove for review purposes and found it very awkward to put together in warm weather and a bugger in colder camps with chilly (not frozen) fingers.
