I think you'd get a new one shipped from the states for that? (amazon.com have them)

Titanium is about the worst metal known for conducting heat so I'm not surprised at your stoves poor performance to be honest.

I think that's a bit harsh, Rik ;-) IIR my metallurgy lectures correctly, Titanium would be a slightly worse thermal conductor than /Mild/ Steel, but quite a bit better than Stainless... and Ti has a higher SHC, so it'll retain the heat longer (for an equal weight, LOL).
None of this helps NetFrog get his stove lit though...
