Titanium Cookware weight breakdown

Yeah, I assumed when I started browsing this forum there would be a database of community-weighed gear, like there is for road cycling. Why isn't there?!

http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings.php

Actually, I think that's a good idea for this site. I have a few weights that I could add to the DB myself.

I think on of the issues is that so much of the gear is customized.

I have very little gear that I haven't either ordered custom, modified in some way. The rare piece of gear that doesn't fit that is most likely out of production.

We all have own own scales and have never trusted the manufacturer specs.

My Evernew 750ml Pasta Pot weighs 3.3oz with lid, no sack.

Hey, Kaleb,

What do you do for a lid for your 1400? I’ve got one but no lid.

I’d quote you some weights for a Snow Peak 700 and a 900, but I don’t own those. I’ve got Snow Peak 780ml and 1000ml Ti pots, the ones that come in their cook set. Would you like those weights?

I use very thick tin foil baking bags myog lid, got it about 7 years ago and haven't seen them much for sale lately at the grocery store. I have rei credit and the sp 700 or 900 with 20% off is looking good when my dividend discount comes out, just thinking out loud. Of course if a similar pot out there is lighter and has the duel use of cooking/boiling over fire I would get it. And the cookware database is important information as most of us have/want the perfect size/weight for any given trip. I would like to have the 780 and 1 G SP weights for reference, thanks.

My Snowpeak Ti Mini Solo kit breaks down as follows:

http://www.snowpeak.com/ti-mini-solo-combo-scs-004t.html

Pot (approx 900 ml) – 3.0 oz
Lid – .7 oz
Cup (approx 300 ml) – 1.6 oz
Mesh sack – .5 oz

My total (5.8 oz) is slightly heavier than their website (5.5 oz) but that's probably due to weighing each item separately. I don't have a weight for entire kit so I'm not sure how it compares to the posted weight.

OK, I got out all my Titanium pots that I’ve accumulated over the years. I’ll list them below in table fashion. I don’t have the weight for the Trek 1400 pot lid. Can anyone tell me how many grams that weighs?

EDIT: Thank you to Kaleb for the weight of the Trek 1400 pot lid (62g). Table updated (below).

I have also posted the below table on my blog now along with some comments and usage notes.

Love tables.

For me titanium's lack of being able spread heat is it's main downfall.

Next is ti's price – too much

And finally it's weight. 2X that of aluminum, even coated aluminum.
"Aha!" you say, "Ti is thinner so it weighs almost the same as aluminum."
Yep it IS thinner out of necessity to save weight, just one more reason for its hot spot tendency.

"Why Ti?" Really.

Eric, it seems that you keep going over the same titanium issue, and then we tell you the answer, but you never seem to retain that.

Titanium will withstand the heat of a wood fire without deforming. If you never use a wood fire, then you don't need to worry about it.

Yes Bob, I will not use aluminum, (minus heiny keg), cause I boil/cook on fire as much as I can. There is just something about having to build and maintain a fire in diverse environments to prepare my meal, primal instinct?

Jim, the Snow Peak 1400 fry pan/lid weighs 62 grams.

Thank you all for posting

“…the pot is 4.35oz The fry pan is 2.25 oz (which I never bring or use). On the snow peak site they list the set as 7.4oz ????? That is over an ounce difference. The stow sack only weighs 0.4 oz so if they include this they are still off.”

I got lost on the math. 4.35+2.25=6.60. I’m not sure how that’s over an ounce difference. Putting the stow sack at 0.4 = 7.0oz. That is nice when the actual product is slightly less than advertised; a classy company!

Kaleb,

Thanks for the weight of the 1400 fry pan/lid.

Personally, I don’t think those fry pan lids are a very good deal. First, Ti doesn’t distribute heat well which makes frying something in a Ti fry pan a pain since food scorches so easily. Second, the fry pans add quite a bit of weight.

Of my pots, the Evernew 1300ml pot looks like the lightweight champ. It’s about two ounces less than the Trek 1400 even though they’re basically the same capacity pot, and the Evernew 1300 is about one ounce less than the Snow Peak 1000ml pot even though the Evernew pot has a higher capacity.

I just went and looked at the Snow Peak website. They list a weight of 210g (7.4oz) for the Trek 1400. I just pulled my scale out again. I got 125g for the pot. Combine that with Kaleb’s measurement of 62g for the lid, and the total is 187g, 23g less than Snow Peak’s measurement. I’m not sure how Snow Peak is coming up with 210g, but perhaps 23g is the weight of the mesh stuff sack.

This is what I measured this afternoon, hope that helps – Jon

All the weights are in grams

Jon,

Is 173g the correct total for the SP Hybrid Solo Summit set? I’m getting 176 although maybe there’s some rounding issues there.

Those Evernew small pasta pot (700ml?) sure are nice.

Yep, the Snow Peak Hybrid Solo came in at 173 grams. The silicone components really add a lot of weight as the mug by itself only weighs 86 grams. The mug itself is only slightly heavier than the Snow Peak 600 and it holds 820 ml! All of the total weights were weighed as a system and are not the sum of the parts. I also think that the Evernew Small Pasta pot (ECA521, 700ml pot) is one slick little mug.

Definitely. It’s the nicest 700ml mug on the market.

The lid is actually useful as opposed to the Snow Peak 600 lid which is a miserable after thought.

I just looked at my gear spreadsheet and here are the weights of my snow peak titanium stuff (I measured them in grams):

Snow Peak 900: pot is 3.63oz (103g) and pan/lid is 1.9oz (54oz) for total of 5.54oz (157g)

Snow Peak 450 Mug: 2.4oz (68g)
Snow Peak 600 Mug: 2.8oz (80g)

I bought all these prior to 2009 in case anything has changed since then.

Pot without handles: 64g
Handles (both) : 18g
Pan whitout handle : 37g
Pan's handle : 9g
Homemade lid : 4g

I don't use handles, so it's 68g for me
