I've used the Walmart grease pot for years, but one of mine recently suffered a, uhm, newtonian accident in my car trunk when my tote of car stuff slid into my bag of camp stuff. They're light, but not very strong.
This morning, while at wally world, I concluded that they no longer make these things. Oh well, anything good gets discontinued anyway and I have the one in my BOB still. But I did spot kitchen cannisters. I picked up a 1.7 liter one for less than six bucks- the only thing that I don't like is that the lid is glass. OK, that's what some aluminum foil is for. I'm not sure if it heavy aluminum or stainless, but it's tall and narrow so it should be more efficent on a coffee can stand. I'm thinking that it might have better luck as a camp pot. And it fits in a spare watch cap to keep the contents warm.
I'm going to be doing a couple of tests over the next couple weeks, but I have tested it's abiltiy to serve as a rice cooker if you add boiling water to rice, capped with aluminum foil and covered with a beanie. Worked very well.
