Cookpot recommendations

[swjohnsey]

A little too big is better than a little to small. I use a single pot for cooking and eating. It is the 1.3 titanium with lid. My Simmerlite will nest in it.

[trailmercury]

a 1L anodized aluminum pot is a good starting point for a single or couple of hikers. till you know better what your particular needs are, here's a very nice but cheap one that I've used for a couple years and recommend --

How much does that setup weigh?

Just one more data point: I use a 900 ml pot, basically a Jetboil Sol Titanium. We find 900ml (AKA 0.9 liters) is perfect for two of us, my wife and myself. One completely full pot is perfect for two decent size cups of coffee, or for two freeze-dried meals. 900ml is way more than enough for a solo person. What I'm talking about here is for freezer bag cooking, or occasionally cooking right in the pot (which works for one, not two).

It's too bad that they discontinued the Jetboil Sol titanium... it is 8.9 ounces for stove and pot, and when fuel is considered, which the Jetboil is the champ with at efficiency (and speed), it makes for pretty much the lightest overall setup.

Alchy folks will disagree, but their fuel ways close to twice as much for the same heating value. So if you're out for more than a few days and do more than a single boil a day, their UL setup when fuel is included will match or out weight my UL setup.

I have the titanium snow peak solo 700 ml, but it is more narrow on the base than the evernew. To buy again, I would consider the evernew or this new MSR titanium pot that has a wider base.

A really lightweight canister combo would be a MSR Titan kettle paired with a BRS-3000T stove, with the whole kaboodle fitting easily into the kettle with a 110g canister.

I have also become a fan of the BRS-3000T stove. It has proven to be reliable with adequate flame control. It does have a smaller radius than my Snowpeak Giga so it only suited for smaller capacity/diameter pots.

Agree, pretty much a water boiler... wouldn't want to have to actually cook with it, lol. Even at a low flame setting that's a very small hot spot.

the pot weighs 4 7/8oz and the cup weighs 3 1/8oz on my kitchen scale.

mine did not come marked with ounce gradations but the cup holds 16oz (2 cups) and the pot holds 32oz (4cups)

not bad for $11 shipped...

Anyone have experience with the Evernew ECA 267 900 mL Ultralight mug-pot?

With a 900 mL capacity, a lid, and a handle, it seems to have everything I want.
And at only 99 grams, it seems lighter than any other option I've seen. It's on my wish list.

I just purchased the Toaks Titanium 750ml Pot with Bail Handle after using other similar pots. For me it was slightly cheaper than it's counterpart, the Snow Peek 700ml, and included the Bail Handle for use over an open flame/fire. It has measurement marks that are easier to read that what I had previously. The reviews were all positive so I am hopeful that it was worth the money. I previously used a Snow Peak Hybrid Summit which was great but no bail handle and a Silicon Rubber Lid that served as a handle grip as well. As the three little bears said, "750 ml is justttt right".

My "keeper pots" are the grease pot (yes, I am hiker trash), Heineken keg pot (I made one and saved it and it is still going strong), a Jetboil, and a Snowpeak Titanium 700. I have a lot of pots.

Grease pot gets used on any stove at all because it is so cheap and so replaceable. I typically take it when car camping with someone who has a big-burner propane stove or when backpacking with someone else who insists on bringing their canister stove.

Heineken keg goes with a Fancee feast and a carbon felt windscreen/pot grab. I use it to rehydrate meals and make tea when I am in the mood.

Jetboil is a Jetboil. I bring it on trips where speed is of the essence. Or, lately, I bring it to dragon boat races (my sport) which never have enough vegetarian options of food.

The Snowpeak is combined with a titanium/wood burning Caldera Cone. My primary choice of fuel is wood. So this is my primary choice of cook pot.

Oh, and I also have a stainless steel canteen cup with its stove (and a canteen) but the thing is entirely too heavy, even if you can make a twig fire in it.

I used this on my Thru attempt this summer and it was great for mac-n-cheese and other simple boil in pot meals. My only complaint was the lack of insulated handles. I transitioned to the Evernew 700ml pasta pot and found it be exactly what I wanted (tight fitting lid, drain holes, insulated handles).

New to lightweight/ultralite. Looking to hear some cookpot recommendations.

I recommend the Toaks 750ML cup/pot. It's all I use anymore. I can cook in it if need be, but otherwise I boil water and drink coffee out of it. The cozy that comes with it works well too. Just make sure you also get a long spoon.

im using a gas stove, and will generally only be going solo or with my girlfriend. looking for an actual pot as opposed to a beer can because i tend to be less than gentle with my gear.

Here is what Trail Designs says about it:

"This is the LIGHTEST 900ml pot you can buy! The highly popular 900ml titanium pots that most ultralight hikers use now has a new superultralight entrant! The good folks at Toaks have come up with a killer design that is lighter than all the current brands out there and works with our Sidewinder! It includes large fold out insulated handles and a mesh stuff sack with a pocket for your spork or lighter!
