Single campfire cooking pan

[Uncle Alvah]

If you had to use one piece of cooking gear for preparing meals, of whatever kind, for just yourself, over a campfire, what sort of pot/pan/groddle or whatever would you choose?

6 pint Bulldog billy can or set of British army mess tins

 

[Rothley Bill]

The bill off my SA Trangia would do me.

I would miss my kettle cum teapot though

 

[British Red]

If I didn't have to carry it - my large cast iron dutch oven. Bake, fry, boil, simmer, roast...it does it all

So who would carry it? I agree with the idea of a single big, lidded, pot. Probably with a nice strong bail handle.

"small" Aussie camp oven as its truely bomb proof and about as versatile as you can get if I wasn't constantly on the move otherwise something small and lightweight like a crusader mess tin with hanging chain as I'm just plain lazy/ like travelling light.

My 1.3L pot with fying pan lid does me grand for what I cook. Sadly retired my nesting Bulldogs a few weeks ago which would always travel with me.

I gave this a bit of thought and although its not what i always carry I have a very old Bulldog frying pan which has no handle it is quite deep so does for most things I cook anyway
If out for a while I take it and either Crusader mug or SA Trangia small pot
That Combo does cover everything and allows me to get a brew on while eating my meal

I would use the one on the photo below.

It is a 3,2 litre stainless steel pot from Eagle sharp. And it is the pot I usually carry.

Love your Eagle sharp pot, Tor.
Do you know where I could get one?
I've been looking on the net, but can't seem to find it.

I am with Red on this one - a good big Dutchie!

 

[Armleywhite]

British Army Mess tins. Served me well for years don't see any reason to change now!!

 

[BigShot]

I'm also with JF and Red...
Dutch Oven here too.

Never used one myself, but knowing how versatile they are I'd got for one of them for sure.

What if you did have to carry it, say for a three day hike ?

 

[ArkAngel]

12cm Billy can, does everything i need it to.

On my own? Tatonka Billy Can - Useful lid for frying (unlike the Zebra), wider flatter shape makes it more stable. Lid can be inverted to use as an oven with coals in.
