what type of titanium is best for a wood stove/heater?
(OP)
I am building a small ultralight woodstove/heater for a tent heater for backpacking9 personal usage! ).Using titanium sheet of .010 to .014 inch of thickness, what type/grade of Ti sheet should I be using? The Ti must be able to withstand repeated heating/cooling cycles with a max temp. of 1500 F., and not become brittle or crack.

Sadly, I cannot contribute to the initial question - I'm just a chemical engineer without much knowledge in the area of MoCs.
Just my two cents,

Some light gage 625 (Inconel) would be a great choice. It is stong, heat resistant and ductile.
Of course right now it is over $15/lb, but for a small about it shouldn't be a big deal.
