Unless I'm melting snow, I rarely take anything but the folowing into the backcountry:
1 oz – steel wing stove
.28 oz – Ti windscreen
.5oz – Esbit fuel
.85 oz – Foster's Beer can w/ disposable cookie sheet lid
.73L/.85oz = .86 L/oz $1.50
2.63 oz Total to cook one hearty mealIf you like a sturdier pot, remove the top from a Heineken can with the Safe cook can opener and use it as your pot lid: .775L/1.2oz = .65 L/oz $1.50
The Foster's can is twice as efficient as the best of the titanium options listed in the first post – and massively cheaper. Ti is a great material, but pot manufacturers use too great a wall thickness and thus negate the material's weight advantage by constructing an excessively robust product.
Examine the BPL Ti windscreen. At .001" thick, it is very durable and functional. -
