Where can i find an already made heineken pot with lid? Im new to the forum so any help is greatly appreciated!
Apr 3, 2012 at 8:55 am #1863019They 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.
Apr 3, 2012 at 9:44 am #1863041The 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.

Zelph carries a variety of modified Fosters, Monster, and generic cans.
SmokeEater908 at outdoortrailgear.com also has a variety of cans available.
Apr 3, 2012 at 12:03 pm #1863114Are the fosters any good? And what's another durable can like the heiny keg?
Apr 3, 2012 at 1:44 pm #1863160Fosters is one of the worst beers (especially in a can) that I've ever had. I cannot in good conscience support their patronage. =)
Apr 3, 2012 at 1:53 pm #1863165I ment the quality of the can as a pot not the actual beer
Apr 4, 2012 at 7:19 am #1863448Check out Zelph's video

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:

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.
