One liter stainless steel cup?

Who sells a large one, like one liter more or less, that can be used to boil water.

The cup I have is only 8 ounces. You'd have to boil too many times if used in a survival situation.

Thanks.

The gsi outdoors cup and olicamp are 16oz you can also try snowpeak.

Will a wide mouth bottle do instead:

These look perfect and the web site says you can put them on a fire.
I hope to find a lower price on something else. If not, then I'll get that one.

Jeff,

I use a variety of cookie tin type containers that fit over a water bottle. Will post pics if thats helpful

I don't know about Jeff, but I would be interested in seeing your set up, teacher.

Thanks,

Hi Teacher,

I never thought of using a tin cylinder (e.g. cookie tin) over my water bottle, good idea.

If you have some examples that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Mike

This is what I use. It is by snow peak and the two metal cups one large and one small is called the SOLO. I also use a GSI Bottle cup too. I put the nalgene bottle in the large pot then the middle cup ( GSI cup ) on top of the nalgene bottle then I put the small cup on top of the middle cup. Here are the pics.


Then I put all that into a nalgene water bottle holder.

This is what the shoulder kit looks like.
Then I sling that over my shoulder and away I go.

Walmart sells a 1 liter aluminum cup made by IMUSA that weighs around 3 oz and sells for around 3 buckaroos...usually in stores in hispanic areas.

Not stainless steel, a bit expensive, but you can get just the cup from a Jetboil stove. Has the heat sink ring on it to facilitate cooking. It's a 1 liter cup. It's available from tons of online stores and from ebay.

Hi Jeff,

How about the Snow Peak Trek 900 Ti available at http://www.moontrail.com/snowpeak-trek-900-titanium.php

That's a good idea.
I'll have to call Jetboil to see what the inside of the cup is lined or coated with.
I wouldn't want to drink or eat from there for the same reason people don't cook with unlined or uncoated aluminum pots any more.

Hmm, how about something extremely cheap and replaceable like a 1-lb coffee can with a wire bail? People have used those for years and Ron Hood uses them exclusively in his videos.

Or get one of those GI aluminum cups that hold a quart?

Or the venerable 12 oz. Sierra cup?

I've got a GSI double boiler kit ($25) that has a 1.1 litre and .5 litre hard anodized containers that I bought years ago (and I personally can't stand the Sierra cup because it cools off almost as quick as it heats up!) I've added my homemade alcohol burner/solid fuel burner, pot stand, windscreen and a folding spork. Now I'm looking for a better alcohol container than a 500 ml plastic bottle.

Here is the updated version:

ps. GSI is now making yet another updated version:

Jeff, from what I understand about ingesting aluminum from cooking containers, the problem arises only when the material being cooked is acidic, like tomato sauce or vinegar. I've never heard of more neutral stuff (cocoa, soup) causing a problem.

It seems I saw a stainless steel grease container at WallyWorld (with an attached lid and handle) for about $6. I think it would hold about two cups.

Anodized aluminum is fully non-reactive. Many cups, pots, etc. for camp cookery can be found in an anodized form though it may have a proprietary name attached to it.

J. Falks sells a really nice 4 cup (.9L) aluminum mug thats very light. I love mine. The company that imports those mugs into the US also has a 1 or 2 quart (.9 or 1.8L) aluminum water/chocolate pitcher that looks perfect for camping.

here's the company that imports them into the US: (no retailer listed though)

How about a pail for milking cows? Check it out.

An alternative to the GSI aluminum olicamp cup or titanium versions
for nesting around a Nalgene bottle, is the stainless steel version
made by MSR:

Holds 22 ounces...

Walmart sells an 18 oz cup for $2.97 in the camping aisle which might fit over a standard water bottle. Ozark mountain brand?

Like the ones in this set, only bigger...

I found a similar metal mug marked "pottery Barn"

Jeff,

My water bottle is a Wiggy's (yes the sleeping bag folks), 1 qt stainless that can be placed on the fire. Wide mouth. It is great for melting snow. Not so good for cooking, but I have the cup that fits over the bottle to fix the food while the bottle is on the fire boiling water or melting snow. I also have a MSR Titan kettle .85 liters and VERY light. In winter or cold climates I carry both in my ruck. In my lightweight day bag I carry a SIGG .6 liter stainless bottle with cup. Again, I "cook" in the cup and boil water in the bottle. There are several cups and kettles that would work, the question is to find one that works for you.

Respectfully,

Jerry

Sportsmand Warehouse has these for 8 bucks.
cheers

Though now I have switched over to small, tall cooking pots,
