Has anyone heard of or seen a lightweight 6 Litre or Quart Aluminum pot? I can find 4 and 8 but would like a 6.
Thanks,
MikeJul 19, 2008 at 10:19 pm #1443617This is for a bath, right?

Existing 8 qt pots seem to be thicker than the 4 qt pots & much heavier.
Jul 20, 2008 at 3:52 pm #1443689Just bear in mind that a very wide pot may be a serious health hazard if used over a fuel stove.
I know of one case where the heat radiated back down from such a big group pot caused the fuel tank on a well-known white gas stove to get so hot it exploded, spraying two people with burning white gas. A year later and the plastic surgery was still in progress.
Cheers

Pretty reasonable weights/prices given the size of the pots. Just thinking "out loud" here, could you consider the mini-kegs at about five liters and pretty light? Would that be close enough? That said, the Evernew stuff would be pretty great…
