I just finished a 17-day winter trip and among the gear details I'd like to improve is finding a new kettle to melt snow in and then dispense the water into various containers from.

My current pot is an MSR ti 2 liter, which works OK. Main complaints are that it didn't take kindly to too much heat when I first got it (rookie move--totally my fault) and has warped such that the lid doesn't fit tightly anymore. That and when I try to pour the hot water into my thermos, freezer bags, and camelbak, I usually end up spilling a decent amount because there is no 'spout' or even lip to guide the stream.

So I'm looking for something better. I love the idea of a kettle because spout-pouring will be easier. I'd like it to be a ~2 liter setup. And if possible, I'd like it to be light.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

EDIT: Oh yeah--I was *really* hoping for an integrated handle(s) too--so that I can ditch the pot lifter...

Cheers,

MC
