[pct-l] walmart grease pot question

[christinpruett at hotmail.com (christin pruett)]

Hi, so I took someone's (I can't remember who's) advice from the list about 
using a walmart grease pot for a lightweight cookpot.  The other day I fired 
it up with my homemade pepsi can stove and windscreen/pot holder.  It worked 
great except that when the water boiled some fumes were emitted which 
smelled pretty nasty, also the pot was discolored where the water was.  This 
made me worried about whether eating anything out of the pot would be a good 
idea.

Has anyone else been gagged by these acrid fumes?  Was this some kind of 
coating that once burned off will be fine?  If I eat from this pot for 2 
weeks in a row will I get Alzheimer's or spongiform brain disease?

Thanks for the info, Christy (wanting to preserve what little gray matter is 
left)
