Well ventilated; not confined under the kettle.

Under a kettle on a gas burner isn't exactly "confined", you know. There's
plenty of room for air to enter. I repeat: your reality check bounced. The
temperature of a natural gas flame is *much* higher than the melting point
of
aluminum.

I propose an experiment. Who's got a $5.00 aluminum pot and
a gas stove they don't mind scarring up?


It wouldn't matter. Miller will still want the last word on the subject.
