Question: Snow Peak Titanium Mug

I have a SnowPeak 600 and have used with Esbit Tabs and Denatured Alcohol with a lot of success meaning a good boil time…I am sure you could start a fire and use some rocks to create a shelf to support the mug over or next to a fire with no BAD side affects…I am sure it would get charred a bit—then just clean it in a stream or lake….

Goodluck -Jay

You might get a little discoloration, but no harm. Somewhere I saw a video of a mug being roasted on a canister stove till cherry red. No ill effects.

Their directions are screwy, perhaps because of the translation for the Japanese. I had the same thing happen. I bought a 450ml mug, and I saw that the directions said the same thing yours did. I was confused because I was positive I ordered a single wall mug, and it felt like a single wall. So I filled it up with water and put it on my stove at home. Figured I better test it at home before taking it out. No problem, it was single wall, just incorrect instructions.

The one thing you may find out with your SP 600, as I found out with my SP 700, is that tall and narrow is not the most efficient pot design for cat can (sideburner) stoves. You lose a lot of flame up the side of the mug. Best if you could fashion a pot stand to make it a top burner.

A little off topic. Yesterday I found out that this cup fits
perfectly onto the bottom of 1qt Powerade bottle. My new canteen set-up:)

Thanks folks.

James: Hadn't thought of that – makes a lot of sense. Working on a newer stove design which may sidestep that problem. Glad you mentioned that about my cat stove though!

Jim: Good to know…hmmmmm….

My experience with making the basic cat can stove was that in my kitchen, room temperature, (~70?) using water however cold it comes out of my tap, it generally took 8-9 minutes to bring 16oz of water to a boil in my Snowpeak 700.

Appreciate that information
