How about using an old school steel pie pan? (Hopefully still available at Walmart or Target).� With perforations....a few extra to simulate the VW emblem.� Yeah....avoid coated cans...no testing has been done to evaluate out-gassing when they are brought up to red-hot temps like on the top of a Westy stove.� Who knows what kind of gases are going to permeate your breakfast?� (And I don't even have a Westy stove....mine is a hardtop Vanagon with outdoor-use Coleman liquid stove; which I use to make french toast!)

in case anyone doesn't know..
galvanized metal..
when heated enough emits a deadly poison.

when welding on galvanized metal....it's very important to not breath the
fumes.
This is also why galvanized stove pipe is never used indoors.
