Does anyone know where I can get the absolute lightest cookpot?
Jul 2, 2005 at 9:51 pm #1338673I can think of two things wich might qualify, depending on how much durability you need. The more durable option is the snowpeak titanium bowl, wich weighs 1.7 oz and has a capacity of 20oz. and could be fitted with a foil lid to make a sub-two ounce cook pot. The lighter option that I know of is to take a Fosters 24oz keg dan and cut the top off to make a container of around 20 oz and use a foil lid or possibly the bottom of another can. I think that set up would be around .5 oz without lid. However it would be so flimsy I think it would be difficult to pack witout crushing it. Or if volume is not an issue you could use a tea lite container, wich probably weights 1 or 2 grahams.

My nephew and I just returned from 5 days in Death Valley and the Sierras using this pot with no problems. 730ml/24.7fl.oz.—.85oz. with lid. Yes, it is delicate, but if you pack and carry it properly it will last many trips.
