I'm look at getting an MSR Titan Kettle, and am curious as to whether an 8oz MSR IsoPro canister will fit inside it with the lid on. I don't mind if the plastic cap needs to be taken off the canister.

Note that I'm talking about the 8oz canister here, not the 4oz.

As an aside, the Titan Kettle was originally advertised as being able to fit a 4oz canister and a Pocket Rocket. However, I've seen reports from people saying that they haven't been able to do this, and MSR no longer seem to advertise the kettle this way. Has anyone been able to do it? Did the dimensions of the kettle change at some stage?

Thanks,

Ben

The large 8 oz (227 gram) MSR Isopro canister is 4.37" in diameter and 3.5 inches tall with the plastic cap in place and 3.375 inches tall without the plastic cap.

The Titan kettle itself is reportedly 4.72 inches diameter and 3.5 inches tall.

So yes, mathematically it will fit, but I suspect the lid won't fit on the kettle very well. You may have to remove the plastic cap from the canister and let it ride loose in the kettle in order to fully seat the lid.

Hi Ben,
Have just tried it and the 8oz canister fits in perfectly, the lid snaps closed, but definitely no room for much else!

Ben,

I have been using the MSR Titan Kettle for a few years now and the 8 oz canisters that I have only been using fits perfectly with the cap on and I have room for my Ti Folding Spork to fit in there on top of the canister.

The lid fits perfectly and snugly with both in there.

I believe the dimensions of the titan kettle did change slightly at some point- this may explain the change in claims about the fit of the pocket rocket. I own the kettle, but not a pocket rocket, so can't help you with questions of that fit.

Ok so I have a Titan Kettle and pocket rocket, now with the MSR cannisters you can apparently fit both into the pot, however the only time this happened was at the shop when the owner was showing me, and in my 2 years of ownership…it never fitted again.
