Hello all, first post here but maybe I can get the quick answer I'm looking for.

After some evaluation and thought, I've decided to switch to wide-mouth stainless steel bottles in lieu of my wide-mouth Nalgene plastic ones. The reasoning behind this is first: you can boil water directly in a stainless bottle without much thought to it, and also you can use rock boiling if necessary. Second: stainless is more durable than plastic. It is possible to crack Nalgene, and also to melt Nalgene. Not looking for an argument here on which is better Steel or Nalgene.

Can anyone recommend a really great quality 1 quart, non-tapered Stainless Steel wide-mouth bottle? I am specifically looking for durable, lightweight, quality construction. (U.S. made preferable). It would also be great if someone had successfully (if not repeatedly) used their recommended bottle to boil water before... I've read some reviews about hard to remove metal dust, thin overseas construction, and just general lack of quality.

Thanks for any input you are able to provide.

Cheers,

-Mike
