Based on your updated criteria that the pot fit inside the stove in the link, have you thought of using a small coffee can which measures 4" OD by 5.5" tall?

The diameter may not be critical, unless you specifically want it to nicely hold a standard 1L Nalgene water bottle, which is a space-efficient solution to the question of "what are you going to cook or boil water in?" which has been the subject of at least one previous thread. I like my REI TI cookset (cup and pot), which goes with me on every hike, because I'm going to carry a Nalgene water bottle with me anyway, and the additional volume/weight is negligible. GSI makes a similar-diameter version in stainless (just the pot) for a lot less: GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Cup/PotThat's what I'd get for occasional use... Regards, Steve

not exactly an answer to your question, but an option if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive work/car kit...purchased 2 of the Swiss Ranger Volcano stove sets (new old surplus)for $20...you get an aluminum cup w/handle, spun aluminum bottle with cork top, and stove that nest together... opened the fuel feed hole to accept a Sterno can (also Trangia burner)...if heating water in the bottle you need to drill a hole for a cross pin stop higher than the production one...one for the house, one for the car...taped the sterno can to the base of the stove with a length of duct tape...

Is the diameter really critical? Yes. I am looking specifically for a pot that will fit down INSIDE this firebox and set on top of it's "firesticks" (little support rods). http://foldingfirebox.com/ The walls of the firebox will come up surrounding the bottom of the pot. This is for when I'm using the firebox as a potholder/windscreen for a Trangia burner. For sitting ON TOP of the firebox, anything will do. I was looking at the Firebox too. It is definitely interesting but a bit on the heavy side. The extra versatility with multiple fuel types is somewhat dubious. After all, if you are using an ultralight alcohol stove or use Esbit fuel why would you spend $50 bucks and 2 lbs of weight for a pot stand? Still -- it seems to work quite well as a wood burning stove and it appears to be engineered quite well. Folds down to the size of a DVD case. I wonder if they considered using a thinner gauge of metal for the stove to save a few oz.? Moving to titanium will save weight but will the price point double?

+1 on the Primus Litech. I really like the size and the pouring spout on the pot helps prevent spillage. The link between Alzheimers and aluminum has been discredited. http://bit.ly/sL1VJq

+1 on the Primus Litech. I really like the size and the pouring spout on the pot helps prevent spillage. Another +1 on the Primus Litech. I have several of their 0.9L kettles which come on my trips or go into my various BOB's, BIB's, etc. I've come across them for as little as $5 at garage sales, so why not? I don't need them to be pretty. By the way, that's a fabulous photo. It ought to be on a Bushcraft or survival "how to" website or book. HJ

It' the epitomy of campfire cooking to me!
