Where can i find an already made heineken pot with lid? Im new to the forum so any help is greatly appreciated!

They Heineken pot is extremely difficult to find because they switched to a different can. Occasionally, people find them, but randomly and not often. Check out Trail Designs for a Foster's pot, though. I haven't bought one yet, but it looks excellent for when my pots eventually fail.

The Fosters can seems larger/longer and isn't a durable. The Heineken Keg is bomb proof!!

batchstovez.com sells the Foster can with Fiberglass wrap.

Fosters is one of the worst beers (especially in a can) that I've ever had. I cannot in good conscience support their patronage. =)

Dillon –
I know you want a ready made one, but it is easy to do it yourself. (I make my own)
To do this, you'll need:

1.)"Good Cook Safe Cut Can Opener" – it does a side cut and will take off the lid, just like the commercially available pot. The lid will not have a sharp edge. I see from a quick google search they now range from $12-18 bucks, and are a newer single arm design. I have the older double arm model and it works great.

2.) For the lid handle you can do two approaches:

2.A) Use needle-nose pliers to carefully bend the pull tab up to use as a handle (caution – it gets hot).

2.B) Just cut it off, and use a wooden knob from Mini Bull Designs:

The can is not as durable as the Heineken Keg can but still makes a great pot. It may dent but the dents are easy to pop back out. They are taller, so I can fit my cone, 4oz fuel bottle, medicine measuring cup, and the stove itself as a lid all in the can. I couldn't fit my fuel bottle in the Heineken can.

I just wrap my camp towel around the kit wen i toss it in my pack. No problems so far.
