Bit of a tangent, but I use an MSR Microrocket and a Ti pot. Similar issue - heat concentrated in the centre of the pot, can burn. I use my own dehydrated meals, but do the same as I would for freeze dried - bring water to boil and sit for 10 mins. Usually with carbon felt pot cosy that doubles as a windshield. I tried it after my first experience of freeze-dried meals. Add boiling water, sit for 10 minutes, eat partially rehydrated vegies and 'beef' cuboid doovers (1% beef + 99% floor scrapings). Yep, it works just as well if not better with my own meals (where 'beef' = 96%+ beef).
