How about a rough volume? Snow melter lighter than the Trianga 1L (sans lid)?

The one in the photo is the ‘lil one: 550 ml. The kettle weighs 54 g (1.9 oz) and the lid weighs 12 g (0.4 oz).

Sweet… very nice looking.

Is there a Ti Pot-lifter in the works as well? Or is this a folded handkerchief product?

We are working on a titanium pot lifter. The prototypes are about 0.3 oz. They won’t be available til after the first of the year.

Ooooh, shiny!

Looks great; look forward to more details. Has anybody else noticed it takes titanium to get guys interested in cookware?

Just sayin’

We’ll have a 900-1000 ml cookset and a 1300 ml cookset.

Your timing is perfect. I was about to buy a Snowpeak Trek 1400 for a trip in January. Now I can get a BPL one for Christmas. Will there be measurement markings? It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but it might be nice. Also, provide a way for the little handle on the lid to stick up. A little notch in the metal that holds the handle on would do the trick. Will the rim be substantial enough to use a wind screen like the Caldera Cone?

As an aside, if you have someone doing titanium manufacturing for you, have you thought of trowels?

Hi Eric, the handle lid is supposed to stand up, yes! I haven’t seen the final production model yet, so…who knows, version 1 you know!

Yes, we’re doing trowels. That will be a spring 07 item.

Great news all around! I know several gentlemen who asked me to make trowels for them who will be pleased. It was more work than I was willing to do.

Seems every time a nice new product is available someone always has another idea. My turn. Any chance that the kettle might be made with an old-fashioned bail? They are:

– Light!
– Take up little space
– Usually won’t get too hot if they stay upright, but a bandana solves the problem anyway
– Make pouring easy
– Attached!
– Did I mention they are attached? One less thing to keep track of.

Am I the only one that thinks that overhead bails are near perfect?

I love bails, Paul. I’ve added bails to a bunch of my small pots using the BPL Ti rods. It’s a good way to go if you cook over a fire or a stove with big flames, like some alcohol stoves.

“”Am I the only one that thinks that overhead bails are near perfect?””

No.
As you say,
they are lighter than folding handles and pot lifters.
They don’t get hot.
They don’t get lost.
They are compact.
They do everything all the other gadgets try to do. So there’s two of us. Lets have a revolution!

If you go back to the Fosters Beer Can – Cook Pot Thread you will see a really light weight Bail on mine. The Bail is the way.

It would be easy to make a removable bail too– just a circle of wire that jams up against the lip of the pot to attach the bail to.

Good thought. I’ll try that out to see how it works.

I’ve punched bail holes in my pots before but don’t like the boil-through you get. You effectively reduce the volume of your container. Yeah it’s minor but I feel like I’m introducing a defect.

This product is now available, in versions with and without a handle. The version without the handle is only available to Premium Members at this time due to very limited availability.
