when mixing water soluable coloring chemicals like barium cholride,
cuprous copper, stronitum nitrate,etc to soak wood products for
fireplace colors, what type of cookware should a person use?

googling this newsgroup revealed do not use aluminum; instaed use
either stainless steel or an enameled cast iron.

Going beyond coloring chems, in general should a pyro use lab quality
glassware in place of commercial cookware to be safer than sorry?

comments?

suggestions?

thanks in advance

Terry,
Do you roll stars?
If you do, use that.
I don't think I'd use anything that I would cook food in afterwards.
Stainless steel would clean up, or glass.
It's the thought, like dipping out a clogged toilet with the pan I
make mashed potatoes with.

No I don't roll stars. Specifically I was going to soak wood
products in Campfire Blue,etc to make colored flame stuff.

And of course any cookware would be used only for pyro specific
tasks.

For example, I read here that you should not place strontium
nitrate(or for that matter any nitrate) in an aluminum pan with
water water; I just want to be safe rather than sorry thats why I
asked the question.

I'm a complete newbie on most of this stuff and I don't want to end up
like that guy in the rocket scientist video just posted.
