Here's a 17 Holes Metal Disc made of SS430, conceived for simultaneous Bi-Energy compatibility where "Plan-B" implies the blue torch-flame (complete) combustion of butane, and/or Magnetic Induction heating as "Plan-A". Working range is 250 to 550 °C and mass is close to 0.72 g, which is suitable for temporary generation/storage of a ~100 Joules convective heat flux (entropy accounted for). The 6 present peripheral pads already implement thermal isolation but future version will be enhanced to include a mechanically/thermally resilient open ring for floating support (between fine rails or claws), while also providing snap-action mounting.
