If nothing else, this is worth a try on my end. I might try my next batch this way if I can get down to the local haberdashery (whatever the F that is!) and pick up some mesh. Here in the colonies we call it mosquito netting. Even better is the super fine no-see-um netting, it's like pantyhose.
About the only fly in the ointment that I can see is that the boil kettle top has to have straight sides. Many of the keggles here have a 1-3 inch lip around the edge to hold the lid. That will have to be ground off. People with stainless pots can go right ahead.
60-70% efficiency is where I am at right now. Can't hurt.
One question: Do you hook the wok stand out of the bottom before you start boiling or do you leave it in there?
