Does anyone have a fully Clickstand set (Trangia, Stove & Windscreen) and a Evernew 1.3L (ECA253) pot that could test that everything fits inside without a hitch? Can't find anything on the Interweb that shows this combo functioning together.

Also, who has the best prices for Evernew pots?

TIA!

Having just purchased a used set, I can answer "Yes" to your first question. Plus there is room for more.

Geoff-

Do you by chance also have an ECA252 (900ml) pot in that set that you could verify it fitting in that also? With the height listed on the Evernew site, it appears that MAYBE the windscreen could possibly BARELY fit inside.

TIA!

Sorry, no .9L pot. I could measure the height of the windscreen this evening if that would be of any help…

Thank you for the offer, but unfortunately it will not. The important measurement I'm looking for is the internal depth of the 0.9L pot. It's one of those things that may work (or not), but is extremely close.

Is that the inside (the pot) depth of the 0.9L or the ECA252 or the 1.3L ECA253?

If that's for the 0.9L ECA252, then Evernew's site is WAY off with a total product eternal height of 2.52in.

TIA!

That's for the .9. Measured from the inside bottom to the top of the rim.

Miles-

You rock! Thank you so much for finding that video. I don't get where Evernew is getting the measurement of 2.52" for a total height of the product. Makes me wonder what other measurements on their site are wrong.

His (guy in the video) weight for his pot is 3.9oz and the site lists 4.1oz. Good to know that Evernew isn't giving possible "minimum" weights…but man their measurements are off considering the Clikstand windscreen is 2.5" tall. That windscreen sure does look like it's got at least another 0.25" of vertical space INSIDE the pot.

Those of you that have Evernew pots..being thinner Ti they should obviously heat water faster than a thicker Ti….BUT, because of the thinner Ti do they scorch food more easily? Has anyone tried to make something like fried eggs in either the 0.9L or 1.3L? Is it possible without burning all your food?

I have successfully fried and cooked real foods in my Snow Peak Trek 1400…but even with that you still have to watch the heat levels. It would be nice to have a Evernew 0.9L or 1.3L that could be used for such cooking tasks outside of just boiling water.

I'm making this whole new cookware play on trying to decrease my equipment amounts and weights while increasing said equipment versatility. I see it this way with getting an Evernew pot:

– Wider pot – Catches more Heat/shallower water depth
– Lighter Pot – Less Weight (Weighs less than both my SP Trek 700 and 1400)
– Wide Shallow Pot – Used as pot OR pan
– Short Wide pot – Capable of containing my canister setup OR Clikstand setup

So far all my research has really proven that Snow Peaks design considerations make a lot more sense than most any other brand out there…especially the Trek 700. My only real concern with the Evernew products is the thinness/durability of the Ti and how it will affect cooking foods and how it will hold up over time.

Hmmm…0.9L to keep it small and light between my two setups or 1.3L to have the ability to use it like a pan in addition to pot.

Yes the windscreen does fit inside the .9L pot. I have that set–just used it two weeks ago. I only use it for car camping now as I have lighter options. The simmer ring works great for lowering the flame for scrambled eggs, btw.

Craig or John

Could either of you toss a measurement of the diameter of the bottom of your 0.9L Evernew pots? With the measurement of 5.35" off of the Evernew site for width, I'm uncertain how this would even fit on the Clikstand…considering my SP Trek 1400 set (5.5" wide) barely reaches the pot sands.

TIA!

Craig

Thank you very much! It appears my Snow Peak Trek 1400 set measures 5.5" at top, but tapers down smaller at the bottom. Never noticed that before. Looks like the Evernew 0.9L is going to work out perfect for me.

Hike On!

Ken,

The Evernew products are really nice (I have the 1300ml UL). They’re plenty durable, and the lids are so much better than what the Snow Peak Trek 700 and 1400 have as well as the Snow Peak 780ml and 1000ml pots. In my experience, the frying pan lid’s handle is nothing but a nuisance. In fact, I don’t even use the 1400’s lid; I bought a cheap aluminum cook set from a thrit store and use the lid from that for my 1400.

The Evernew is lighter, but it’s wider base (compared to the comparably sized SP 1400) is really nice in that you don’t get flame spillage (i.e. wasted heat) up the sides.

The one advantage to the SP 1400 is if you use a Steri Pen. The Steri Pen stays fully submerged much more easily in the SP 1400 than in the Evernew 1300.

Thanks for the tips Jim! I actually do use the pan/lid on my SP 1400 to make eggs and sausage/steak for my first morning out breakfast. Haven't used it too much outside of that. Works pretty good for me, but with the 0.9L Evernew, hopefully I can do the same without the depth of the pot or thinness of the Ti being an issue.

Good find on the lid!

I guess give it a try in terms of cooking with Ti. I’ve found that if you turn down the heat and keep things moving around the pan, you can do some cooking. If you really want to do some real cooking, though, you’re better off with a non-stick aluminum pan which incurs something of a weight penalty, but sometimes real food is worth it (depending on the nature of the trip).

I use the 0.9L Evernew pot with the Ti Clikstand and everything fits inside (even the Trangia burner and lighter). There is even room for utensil and cleaning cloth.
