Is this new?

I was looking for a 2L ti pot this winter for snow melting duties but never found anything for sell that was simple, uncoated, and lightweight. I did find many mentions of a discontinued MSR titan 2L pot that I was never able to find used.

But today I was walking through REI and saw this 2L “kettle” which looks pretty ideal if you can forgive the permanent handles and lack of measurement markings. I’m not sure why they call it a kettle rather than a pot, I guess it does have a spout of sorts, but then again so do my Evernew pots.

Actual capacity is right at 2L so usable capacity would be less.

They claim 182g and I measure just under 180g.

Not sure if the Big Titan is new.

FYI Snow Peak Titanium Cook N Save 2L Pot is an alternative – close in weight, also uncoated and with much longer handles and from your photo the Snow Peak could be wider/more efficient.

If you make your own lid from Ti foil for either pot you can get the weight down even further.

If you can still find them anymore, I have a 2 Qt. hard anodized aluminum pot with lid that is 2 ounces lighter than that and cost around 15 or 20 bucks.

Think I go tit from Trail designs maybe? I believe they were/are made by Open Country
