Of course if you're using thin Al, like the KMart grease pot (beloved of budget backpackers), both the weight difference and the difference in conductability are very small.


I finally got my hands on one of those at our local Wal-Mart. I chucked the screen that goes inside it and put a small knob on the lid so I could remove it easier. It works pretty darn good with a super cat stove (another beloved of budget backpackers).

I'd be hard pressed to change to a ti pot. I think the only real advantage there is the strength to weight ratio. On a thru hike the ti pot would be less likely to get crumpled, so in that case it might be worth it even if it weighed a little more.
