New pot?

Looking for a larger pot... possibly Ti although I never really liked my Titan.

Something around 1100 / 1200 ml - no flash cookery required, you know, enough to brew up re-heat / rehydrate something and large enough to wash my feet in.

Any recommendations?

TIA :)

If you're going solo then something smaller will be quite big enough for the scenario you outline above. 700 or 900mls :thumbsup:.
I like pots that are as tall as they are wide. Tall pots are inherently less stable. Shallow/wide pots are inefficient re. the volume to pot size.
My current favourite pot is the Toaks UL 700ml - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32958136686.

Yup, much appreciated, :) but I kind of know what I’m after in terms of capacity. I totally agree with the dimension thing though... a broader pot works better with my remote canister stove.

I love the look of this:

But £75 ... for a pot! :eek:

I have an evernew 1300 and it's not all that, apart likefrom looks I don't see what the advantage over toaks is.

I also have the toaks 'UL' 650 and it is very light but a little flimsy, I will be careful with it.

Best compromise is my alpkit mytipot 900. This is a decent size so I can both had a brew and make my supper. It's sturdy too, but not heavy, probably the best of both worlds.

Thanks, yes I had looked at the Alpgit mytipot as well :) I’d love something with silicon clad handles... bleddy Ti pot handles get hot.

Outside of the usual purveyors of Ti pots, you can have a look at Trangia for good aluminium pots: series 25 are 1.5 litre and series 27 are 1 litre. Pretty light (less so once you add a pot lifter and lid), available in regular or hard anodised and starting as low as £8 for a 1.5 litre regular pot.

Thanks - I have those already, in a non-stick flavour. I might just stick with them and use a foil lid :thumbsup:

I love my Primus eta pot, the flux ring works well and speeds up the boil time. It works best with a canister top stove but less well with a remote canister stove.

The UK ‘supplier’ is Amazon or you order off AliExpress. I doubt any of the Chinese companies do the UK via a wholesale arrangement. That’s why they are cheap!

Okay, thanks for that. I’ll stick with something that’s likely to arrive by next week but your help is appreciated :)

Looking at the Alpgit mytistax thingy, the larger pot seems to be just the ticket, I’m sure I can put the other two bits to good use.... eventually :D

If it wasn't for time span I'd recommend flames creed or tomshoo (I think) off Ali. Under 10 delivered for their 1100ml. I have the 1950ml and it's the same weight or less than the toaks and under 25 delivered.
