I now think that Primus LiTech will be the pot I should get. They are relatively cheap.

http://www.amazon.com/Primus-LiTech-Trek-Kettle-Gray/dp/B002BU4CHY/ref=pd_sbs_sg_6

I'll add some little item from Amazon for $1.50 to bump the total price up over $25 so I can get the free shipping.

If you scroll down that Amazon page to the user reviews, the first one (by user "Kennon") lists the dimensions that he measured. He says the pot base is 4-5/8" in diameter. That's 4.625". I measured my firebox inside dimensions again, very carefully, and found that the minimum i.d. is actually 4.7". So this LiTech looks like it will be the biggest pot I can squeeze inside the firebox, which is what I wanted in the first place.

Haertig, I re-measured my Litech. The bottom OD is 4-5/8" which is the same as the reviewer suggested in the Amazon review. The Top OD is 4-3/4" due to the flare to fit the lid/pan so you should be fine with this pot. Also the rubberized handles can take a lot of heat/abuse before they melt off. A good example is the handle on my Primus kettle that is in one my photos I posted in this thread yesterday.

That picture makes me want to get out there. It' the epitomy of campfire cooking to me!


Thanks Jim and Bacpac for the compliments. On that trip, we had taken my SO's niece and it was her first real lesson of outdoor skills. It is important to note that we left the area cleaner then we found it. We removed all traces of the fire, the tree branch and moved the rock back into it's original location.
