After getting input from various people, I think I am going to get an alcohol stove, possibly the Etowah II Stove Kit. Now for the cooking pot:)
I'm looking for an ultralight cookpot for one person which hopefully will be inexpensive. What kind of cooking pot do you use? Do you use it for both cooking and eating from, including cereal in the morning?

I've been using the: Evernew Titanium Ultra Light 600ml Pot (ECA251) for a few months. I've sauteed in it, boiled water, and done a bunch of random cooking in it. It's been a great piece of gear, and it holds a standard sized MSR type gas canister and it is also wide enough to hold my Snow Peak Lite Max as well as a small Snow Peak canister nested inside. Very durable material, and it won't get dented or dinged in your pack. Weight with lid is 3.4 oz. I ditched the lid and the pot by itself weighs 2.3oz. A foil lid is very minimal, <5gms.

I use the Snow Peak TI Bowl as my cook pot. It's very light and i use some foil for a lid and a bandanna as a pot holder. I sometimes use my utila-key to lift the pot and that works good too. Oh, only $12 and 1.9oz too

also the antigravity gear small pot is $10 and a good option too

I know you have already settled on a stove and are just looking for a pot, but if you haven’t considered a caldera cone system by TrailDesigns, you should at least check it out. My personal preference in the Caldera Keg which uses a Fosters beer can for the pot. Check out my review at:

It is presently the last review on that page.
You may also want to check out AntiGravityGear for other cone/pot combos and pots as Tim suggested.

Happy Trails,

"sometimes use my utila-key to lift the pot"-tim

Never thought of that. How has yours held up? I got a few for myself and others. All broke at the clip within months.
