Has anyone tried boiling water in a titanium bottle? Is there some way to stabilize one on a canister stove?

A few years ago, I found a cheap, promotional stainless bottle in the cabinet that was very thin-walled and even had a silicone band near the top. It fit down into my conical wood stove/windscreen so I used an alcohol stove to boil some water in it. I remember it was very fast, but the silicone band did nothing to protect my fingers. I figure a leather glove or small pliers might work for picking up the bottle, but if anyone has a better idea, please let me know.

It seems like it would be useful to be able to boil water in the bottle since I generally bring dehydrated meals on overnights and then I could leave the pot at home. I'll probably try the old bottle on my next overnight to prove the concept, but I worry a little about the lid and the mystery steel.
