Small cooking pots

[composite]

I'm looking for a new small cooking pot, something along the lines of the GSI Halulite Minimalist. 0.6Lto 0.8L ish in volume with a diameter no smaller than EDIT: should have said 90mm not 35mm so I can fit a small gas canister inside it and in Alu no Ti.



Suggestions?

Whats wrong with the gsi?

£30 seems like a lot when you don't need the spork or the reversible lid or the neoprene sleeve plus I'm just looking for other options.

Have a look at this primus number mate.

I used one in a past life as an instructor, I'll try and locate mine tomorrow after work to check about the gas, but I seem to remember keeping it in the pot.

Might be an option for you

edit: after reading the blurb a 125g canister fits inside

Fair enough, i have it, I agree about the spoon and initially i would have agreed about the rest the lid and the gripper is particularly useful and the lid combined with some sort of cosy (i will afmit the neoprene is heavy) is better than any other solution for heating and drinking I have found.

The gripper seems like a nice alternative idea but I wonder how long it will be before I lose it. Never needed a cosy before so not sure I need one now.

The jury is still out on the mouth piece lid though. I guess I could then leave my small cup at home but it's handy having something else to drink from while still being able to heat more water, maybe not really needed though with proper planning. Hmmmm.

That Primus is top of the list at the moment I think. Thanks for the link.

I havent lost the gripper yet but I do know what you mean! Backpacking light sell them individually.

You need the cosy as there is no handle but having said that you dont need a handle if you have a cosy but a cosy is useful handle or not!

The lid is great when its cold as you coffee doesnt go cold instantly! And if you knock it over you don't lose it all.

Dont take it off the heat slip into the cosy then decide its not hot enough and put it back on without removing the cosy though!

I had to buy what was available in tiso having forgot my usual kit. Its steep at 30 not sure I paid that much tbh but I havent looked for alternatives at the end of the day it is just an alloy pot.

The cosy could double as a "oven glove" for holding the zip lock bag that I have just poured the boiling water into.

[Joshvegas]

You laugh but actually.... That'd work i reckon its quite rigid!

Will report back

I haven't checked but I thought tinny from minibulldesigns did one?

I also thought there was a Litech pot available

All from memory though so likely to be wrong!

You wouldn't go far wrong with something like this. I've used a similar set on and off for years and it's still going strong.

Or for a tenner buy this set and just use the bits you need.

[Joshvegas]

A tenner for the whole set?
