Pot recommendation

[Empty]

I am looking for a small lightweight pot with lid that I can nest a 230 gram canister in. The pot I have at the moment is squat and wide and doesn't suit the aarn pockets all that well plus the canister has to be packed separately.

Wanting to fit the canister, kovea burner and small spoon inside. Any thoughts?

Empty,
A couple you may want to look at
Bulin BL200-C7 (219gm with stuff sack) will take a 230 canister and a Kovea Camp 3 Titan burner or a Fire- Maple FMS-116T burner you also have a bonus Mug as a lid and you can easily fit an ALOCS folding spoon and fork
Fire-Maple FMC-XKS Heat Exchanger pot (226gm with stuff sack) this takes the canister and the Kovea burner plus spoon and fork.

Probably not, but just in case, I had a look at the 4 pices Aldi set for $25 today.
Possibly the 1.2 pot will take the 230g canister, your Kovea and spoon.

At the price might be worth a look.

I fit a 230g canister, Kovea Spider stove and a chux cloth in my Primus Alutech 1L. Not a bad pot quality wise but didn't pour very well until I bent a small spout in it with my Leatherman. But perhaps I'm just fussy.

I also carry it in my Aarn Expedition balance pockets

Thanks for all the replies folks. The one from Sierra trading is the shape I had in mind and the price is pretty good too. They are sold out though. Do you think I would find this locally?

I got a little bit excited, and am pleased that I beat others to say so.
It is Sunday tho

I've heard they grow some good stuff up on the Atherton Tablelands.

If you are just boiling water or re-hydrating food in a cozy consider the Evernew Ti pots. I use the 900ml which fits canister, caffin stove etc. Many other models to consider but I find 900ml works for me solo and when walking with my partner. Good fit with a 230g canister.

http://www.evernewamerica.com/ECA265.htm or the ECA552 or ECA267 models.

I have modded mine to get the weight down to 69 grams with lid.

I went to aldi to have a look at that pot set Franco, and they dont give a weight but after walking around the shop with just the set in my hand I said you know what this is quite heavy and really large so I put it back(which was hard cause I like spending money). As I mainly walk solo its a bit to big for me. Looks ok though.

I would be cautious about Evernew pots my Pot800 light as 115gm has developed a bow in the base , will take all of your requirements however I believe as said only good for boiling water .

I've been using this Optimus pot with heat exchanger for some time. It takes a canister, a fire maple 117T, fire starter and spoon.
The heat exchanger adds about 50gm to it, but it really is fast to boil.

I'm not sure how big your stove is but I've been using an aluminium snow peak trek 900 which holds the canister, chux/scourer & lighter with room to spare. My stove is not the smallest so it doesn't fit unfortunately, but yours might?

Agree. MSR Titan kettle does the same thing but is a few grams heavy and a little more substantial. Anything smaller than either of the Titan or the Evernew 900 is too fiddly for me.

I think the 850ml MLD/ESBIT pot also fits a gas can in it.

Both the snowpeak and the Optimus look good as well as the Primus listed by Strider. I have also seen this one on the net but not in the flesh http://www.backpackinglight.com.au/stor ... ml/dp/8467. It is a bit exy though.

By the way my stove is a Kovea Superlight Titanium. Very small.

Careful with the supalights, they have a known method of failure: viewtopic.php?p=197772#p197772

When you notice it start failing get a new one and don't wait for it to get worse.


I'd suggest the 850ml esbit pot with a alfoil lid and a reflectix cosy. It'll save plenty of weight and gas and the food will still be warm at the end of the meal.

Re: Kovea Supalight, I had this problem about two years ago. The reason: the transport provider in Tas forgot to order my gas so gave me some cheap, crap canisters (Coleman I think) which were rolling around in his van. Same symptoms as above, and it wasn't mix related because temps were 15+.

When I went back to using some leftover blue Kovea canisters (which you can't get anymore) or the green Elemental canniaters (rebranded Kovea), problem went away. Jetboil canisters were also fine.

While perhaps the pin is a fraction too short, it's just as likely that the cheap canisters don't meet the specification.

Thanks for the heads up on the Supalight. Mine is going fine and it is hard to condemn it while it is still okay. I also only use Elemental cannisters. BUT if it does fail what do I replace it with?

Back on the subject of pots I am wondering if all titanium pots are prone to warping? Beginning to sound that way.

[Moondog55]

It's only my opinion but better a pot a little too big than one marginally small

I for one really like the FMS 300-T ( http://www.fire-maple.com/en/productsinfo.aspx?pid=2)
About 50$ delivered off ebay.
Currently the lightest on the market and has been tested for carbon monoxide release where it had incredibly good results (way low).

I think they are, but then, aluminium warps with age too.
Most warped pots will work just as well, you might just need to pop them back to make them balance better.

I have been using the 2nd biggest pot in the aldi set for a couple of years now. it fits a 230g can and my katmandu titanium stove, sponge, lighter and spork inside. it is 155mm wide and 90m deep and weighs 240gr

Do you have the weight of the smallest one?

[corvus]

As to warping Ti, I have the classic 550ml with lid (branded Tibetan) an old Tatonka Combi Set "M" and a MSR Seagull Brand 1lt kettle none of which has warped on the base ,only the Evernew Pot 800 .
Tend to favor Adonised Aluminium now if I want to "cook" anything other than boil water except my 550ml TI which is my "kettle" for hot drinks.

Pretty impressed with the MSR cookset titanium pots (exo?). They have a ridge in the bottom that probably helps as none have warped or bowed(from 1-4L pots).

They feel ridiculously flimsy but the titanium ones are pretty much 'as new' and have been used for many weeks/months.
Bit of an art to 'cooking' sauces etc but it is possible without burning. Especially in larger pots. I'm not sure how well they would fit aarn pockets as the 1L is a bit wider than a 230g canister.

sorry I should have been a bit clearer. the aldi 4 pce set is a fry pan, a kettle and two pots with lids. I use the smaller one of the two. Btw Aldi have these back in stock at the moment for $25

[dancier]

I was on the site below and noticed that the Snow Peak 700ml pot had a gas bottle inside it but after some trawling, I eventually ended up at Minibull design, and he has a few cheap options.

At Minibull he has the 12cm Imusa cup and lid for $19.

Resurrecting this post because I'm on the market for a new pot. My current pot that is solo 900ml pot is just a tad too small.

I'd like a pot that can fit 230g canister and my soto windmaster stove with legs.

Does something like this exist?

[Moondog55]

What pot are you currently using?
I sold off most of my own Titanium pots and I am still using the cheap Aldi anodised aluminium stuff, although perhaps I made a mistake selling the 1100ml TOAKS

[matagi]

Macpac titanium pot. I think its 900ml.

Edit: A quick look at the MacPac website suggests it no longer exists.

[openspace]

I'm using the Furno 360 Stove Pot Set.

It fits the 230g canister with a collapsible cup in the concave section, Camping Moon XD-2F stove (which is similar to the soto windmaster stove with its detachable legs) and a coffee sachet. Even though the XD-2F has piezo ignition, I could also fit in a bic lighter for back up.

If you want to use an alcohol stove, the same pot fits a Trangia, a small square home-made base wrapped in aluminium tape to sit the stove on, small bottle with metho as well as the lighter and coffee within a circular titanium pot stand (bought from Aliexpress).

Aliexpress has similar pot sets that I've found slightly larger so that might be a more economical choice.

It just depends on what you want to fit inside those 2 pots apart from the canister and whether there's a need to comprimise.
