Talk:Heatproof mat

It seems that the item described in the caption for the Teclu burner image is describing the Wire gauze placed atop it's tripod, and not a heatproof mat. Should that image be removed?

The first line of the page says "A heatproof mat, also known as wire gauze or a gauze mat...", but a wire gauze is a completely different object. I have never seen anyone refer a heatproof mat as a wire gauze. I don't know if this is an actual alternative name, so I didn't change it. Wilfredlam0418 (talk) 11:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
