Construct: MSR Titan 1L pot lid

[Ed Barkowski]

I have the Titan cookset (http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/cookware/fast-and-light-cookware/titan-2-pot-set/product)
and will only be using the 1L pot (smaller of two) on a thru-hike. As shown in the photo in the link, the lid is far better suited for the larger of the 2 pots (though it fits snugly on both).

I'd like to make my own (or buy, separately) a suitable titanium lid for the 1L pot. Something that will hold-up for a couple thousand miles, if possible.

Any help?

Thanks to all replies —

Ebay for titanium foil/sheet.

Might be a whole lot easier to buy a used 1 litre titanium pot with lid!

Ed: I'm after a lid for my 1L Titan too.

Have you seen the Jason Klass-style lids for the Snowpeak pots? Well, Donald from Four Dog Stove is making them now. He says he'll make them for the MSR 1L, but he needs to have an order of 6 lids to make it worth his while.

If you're interested, we need to find 4 more people.

The lids are nice. I have one for my Snowpeak Trek 900.

What do you think?

[. Callahan]

If Four Dog will make 6, I'll certainly be up for one for my Titan cookset 1lt pan.

[Ed Barkowski]

I'm in, for sure. That's 3, total. If we each order 2 (ah-hem), it'll work out. Anyone? What does Donald charge?

[Patrick Young]

I'd be in for a lid as well. What is the projected cost and weight?

I went ahead and emailed Donald, requesting more information. Once I hear back from him, I'll post details.

In the meantime, let's try to rally some interest in these lids. I've seen Jason Klass' video of this man's handiwork, and it looks really sharp. Attention to detail, etc.

ANYONE else out there with the MSR Titan 1L cookpot who'd be interested in buying a titanium lid that actually FITS the pot?

[David Lutz]

I would like to get a lid for my MSR Ti Cup…..do you suppose that would count toward the six even though it is a different size?

I'm thinking it would be the same work, just smaller, no?

Any idea of the price yet?

[Bailey Gin]

The 1L pot has a ever so slightly larger diameter than the Snow Peak titanium bowl and the large pot of their 3 piece compact (same pot, I think, as in the new hybrid cookset). So if you think it'll work on my SP stuff, I'll take 2.

[Dave .]

Okay…so let's get organized here.

============================

Here are the diameters of the 3 Titan pots:

The 1L Titan is 5.5" in diameter

The 1.5L Titan is 6.25" in diameter

The 2L Titan is 6.75" in diameter

I'm interested in a lid for all three, but especially the 1L.

============================

So, it looks like we have 4 people total who want a 1L lid so far, right?

How many of you want lids for other Titan pots as well?

[David Lutz]

Is it possible to get the Titan cup included in here, or no?

[Dave .]

>>Is it possible to get the Titan cup included in here, or no?

I really don't know, but it's my sense that Don wants to make runs of (at minimum) 6 of the same size lid.

That's my sense of it anyway given our email correspondence.

[Bailey Gin]

My SP bowl and pot are 5.375" diameter, so the custom lid is slightly oversized…should work OK. Right?

[Ethan A.]

Bailey, which SP pot is that? I may be interested in lids for our SP pots, especially the 900 (know that doesn't help with the 1L run, sorry).

[Bailey Gin]

The pot is from the SP Titanium Cook Set, 3Pcs
STW-001T (the large pot)

This is the SP bowl:

and are stackable.

The bowl stores inside the large pot and the small pot fits inside the bowl. I can get 2 bowls (maybe a 3rd) where the lid can cover the set.

Bailey

[Patrick Young]

I just want a lid for the 1L Titan Pot if the price is right.

It's the pot I use the most and I can live with the lid supplied for the 1.5L pot.

[Ron Jameson]

The lid for the K-Maart grease pot will fit it.

[Patrick Young]

Ron,
Can't find that pot on Kmart.comPat. Where did you see it?
Pat

[Ron Jameson]

I went to my local K=Mart and purchased It. Cost was between$6-$7. I took the little black knob off and added a piece of knotted triptease cord to handle the lid.

Here's some more info I got from Don via email:

1 lit Titan……. $ 16.00ppd (wt no more then 32 grams)

1,5lit Titan…… $ 18.00ppd (wt no more then 38 grams)

2lit Titan…….. $ 20.00ppd (wt no more then 45 grams)

When we order (presuming that we do a group order of some sort) I'm going to mail him my Titan pots (I have all 3) and he'll use them as samples to make sure that the lids have a perfect fit.

[Ed Barkowski]

Dave – Just to keep thread momentum, I'm still IN.

Thanks for the legwork. Let's get this thing off the ground, gang!

[Bailey Gin]

I wont need any now…found some odds and ends around the house that will do.

Bailey

[Bailey Gin]

The non-stick pan/lid from the Mini Trangia 28 cookset should work…right-side up covers the pot loosely. Up-side down, the lid clicks tightly onto pot.

Can bought at: http://www.greatoutdoorsdepot.com/mini-trangia-pans.html

Bailey

PS: Can also be used as a lid for the Trangia series 27 pots, Snow Peak titanium bowls and SP Titanium Cook Set, 3Pcs
STW-001T.

How much does the lid for the grease pot weigh?

Has anyone tried using a foil pie-pan and cutting it out? I'm planning to do so for my Titan 2l. Weight should be around 10g.

[Bob Gross]

The only issue with the aluminum foil lid is that by cutting the metal, you get a sharp edge. If you have a metal bending tool (similar to a brake) you can fold the metal over to get a rounded edge. I haven't found any easy way to do this without a tool.
