So what type and size pot do you use?
So what type and size pot do you use?
i use old aluminum pots with fry pan lids. The nesting set has 1,2,and 3 liter sizes. I pick which to take based on the trip. Bulldog brand, made in England, occasionally available used on EBay. They work well every time.

.85 Liter MSR Titan Kettle
Mine is similar to this one: http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/co...ot-set/product
I like it because the lid doubles as a frying pan...great for grilled sandwiches.
I personally just use the Jetboil, but my good friend has nothing but good things to say about the GSI Outdoors 1.1L Boiler Pot.
What type of cooking do you do while hiking? I'm pretty much either a cold meal guy or freezer bag so all I usually ever need is to boil water. Lately I've been messing around with this: http://www.vargooutdoors.com/titaniu...ottle-pot.html
It's sort of interesting in that it can serve as a water bottle, hot water bottle and pot.
If take the Jetboil Sol Ti I use that. Contrary to all the warnings, I cook noodles and rice in it as well at low heat. Fuel valve is a bit finicky to maintain a low flame, but I keep a close eye on it and haven't had an issue.
If I take an alky stove (usually a Starlyte) I use a Stanco grease pot.

I've been using this Chinese Set for about 2 years works well, just make sure the handles are out while you are cooking or the runner coating will melt off but that still wouldn't be a deal breaker, top pot/ my coffee cup fits on top of the larger pot like a loose fitting lid, large pot holds around 1L I though it was a great deal just had to wait a month for it to get here from China.

Maybe it's because I use an Imusa pot and recycle soda bottles as water bottle, but I honestly do not get the Vargo pot/water bottle, especially at $100+.
(Yes I can see the benefit for melting snow or being able to rehydrate some food items right in the pot through the day. But still not at $100)

I started with MSR, but then I switched to Toaks Titanium. Light and inexpensive. Wears well. I originally had the 850ml, but I dropped that to the 550, since I only need it for freezer bag cooking.
Anyone try/like the S2S X-pot? They seem a little heavy and large (I'm used to just a 16 oz pot) but I really, really like how they are collapsible.

There may be a whole thread on them here somewhere...I have not looked.

titan kettle. works well with a super cat or pocket rocket.
For solo, I use a Zelph flat bottom foster pot most of the time
for two persons, evernew 1.3L
1.3L evernew all year round with a wood burning stove
I have used a GSI soloist and liked it. I recently went to a snow peak titanium solo pot (700 ml). It worked fine for me as I really only use my pots to boil water. On the couple occasions I ate out of the pot, it was filled to the rim, but had enough volume for my needs.
