The short wide Evernew 600 ml Ti pot with lid and handles removed, weighs about the same as a Snow Peak Ti bowl which does not have a lid or handles. The volumes are very near to identical, but the prices are noticeably different.

Jan 19, 2014 at 6:50 am #2064378Yes, they are totally different products….
But, if you are buying a 600 and intend to remove the handles and use foil for a lid…. then this is good information.

Jan 19, 2014 at 12:28 pm #2064409I don't think they are apples and oranges when considering removing the handles from the Evenew, or any other pot of similar size. Like many multipurpose items, there are compromises. The Snowpeak bowl is about as light and cheap as you will find. I don't understand why it isn't more popular with SUL setups: $17 is more like an aluminum pot price, and a cheap one at that.
You can add a wire or bike spoke bail by drilling small holes near the rim or use some sort of pot grabber. The Open Country pot grabber adds a couple ounces and is about $4. The MSR LiteLifter is an ounce, but the price is nearly as much as the bowl, which really annoys me. The handle from a Trangia 28T cookset will work, but you can't buy them separately that I have found; it does seem like it would be easy to make one.
You can make a lid from turkey roaster foil, or just plain aluminum foil for that matter.
