I'll be using the pan INSIDE and then dumping contents overboard and cleaning with the brush. From Jordan's experience rowing across the North Atlantic, he recommended hanging it outside rather than inside. I was just trying to devise a way to hang it out there.

Based on my backpacking experience I'd very much recommend using AA disposable lithium batts - they cost more per battery, but each battery yields ~8x as much total power as an alkaline batt. The lithiums work better in cold conditions, too. And they're lighter! Here in the USA the one company that seems to make the lithium AAs recently came out with a second version with a lower energy density; beware! You want the ones branded "Ultimate"; Energizer markets them here. The battery photo shows AA alkaline batts.
