Looking for some quality pot

[ex-member BareThrills]

Hi folks

I have been searching for my perfect cooking pot for many moons. Cooking wise i like to use look what i found pouches coupled with uncle bens express. So far the best tool for the job is the mess kit that comes with the Swedish Army Trangia. it is eliptical so its a compact carry and it is both wide mouthed and high sided so it transfers the heat to the pouches perfectly. Trouble is its not exactly light and i dont really need the fry pan lid either.

Ive been looking for a similar sized pot in Ti and so far all i can see that comes close is the snowpeak 1400 but this is still a little compact and plus i cant find it in stock anywhere unless you buy it as a set with the 900 pot for circa £100.

So then. does anyone have any likely candidates for something that will be a good replacement for the SAT set.

Alright Paul, I have a West German mess tin set. Similar to the SA Trangia but no windscreen or burner. It's ali so it transfers heat better than Ti in my opinion and cost the princely sum of £4. It's kidney shaped and perfect for boil in the bag, plus it had a secong pan inside that nests in the top third. I've made stew in the main billy and had a wee bannock in the top cooking at the same time on a hobo many times, it's perfect for one person. This probably won't help you but it's a great bit of cheap kit that always works!

well i finally took the plunge and got the 1400 cookset and sold the smaller pot to recoup some of the outlay

Im really happy with the pot and the high side walls give great coverage for taller pouch type meals. Ive saved nearly a pound in weight over my SAT cookset.

saved a pound in weight and spent how many pounds in cash ?

Check out the kit in this post.

The panset offers the sort of capacity you're after and the stove is excellent.

There's a set on ebay with 10 hrs to go...

I agree, when weight isnt an issue, a billy is by far the best option.
