Jim,

Wow! About 2# / cubic foot and it won't weigh any more than the gold plated
yachtsman's stuff. Good work. Gonna try some gas?

Mark,
I'm guessing 10#. I'll weigh one next trip to Home Depot. I'll have to buy
another for PS#2. Let the group know then for sure on the weight. This
morning I broke the floating test piece half to check for water
absorbsion....none. I'm sold. I'll try lighting a piece tomorrow.

Jim,

That is a good bargain. Any idea what a piece of it weighs?
