3L Pot

ECA-425 2600ml
ECA-428 4000ml

have you checked out these from evernew? part of the titanium non stick range, either side of 3L… but

i like the look of the handles on the 2600ml

Open country has a 4L aluminum pot. I've owned one for almost 20 years. Its charred and blackened (great on the fire!), dented, ugly but still in top working order. My buddies and I used this pot all over the West, now its for family camping. Its lighter than listed spec but I can't recall weight.

I like the open country idea. Very cheap and probably an ounce heavier than the evernew Ti one. I have a hard time spending $100+ on a pot to boil water. We'll see how this one stands up to abuse.

Thanks for the idea!

If the specs are correct, it is about 1 ounce heavier…
Thin aluminium does dent easily but for boiling water who cares?

Have you thought about carrying two stoves and two pots? When the group gets to be 4 or more, that's when I start thinking about a larger kitchen. One giant pot will take a long time to boil, while two stoves with two smaller pots will be much faster. This option makes more sense if you are cooking different things, rather then just boiling water for freezer bag cooking, but the faster speed might be useful.

I took 9 Scouts on an 80-mile trek this summer with two pots, both Open Country aluminum. One was a very old 6-qt and one a new 4-qt… Check out http://www.opencountrycampware.com/products/CAMPING-EQUIPMENT/Pots-and-Kettles/ for the 4-qt. Pre-blackened and $12.95… hard to beat. We also used pot cozies from relectix material to improve our fuel efficiency. Hope this helps…
