I just came across a aluminum grease can in the houswares isle at wal mart. Felt light so I bought it for six dollors. It has a decent fitting lid and a strainer. I removed the strainer but it might be handy for tea or cowboy coffee? This pot is 1.5 Qt. It weighed in at 5oz on my scalewith lid. Compared to vargo titaniumin 1.3 liter which weighs 4.9 oz. at 59.95!
Granted mines not non stick but for boiling water for freezer bag meals, what a bargain. If tha handle was clipped off I beleive it would be lighter than a Vargo Titanium.

I don't have one, but I hear it is the staple for many. I didn't know it weighted that much though. I'll stick with my paid for Ti pot.

I bought mine for two bucks on the way to the coast when I forgot my ti pot (Yeah, how do you forget when you pack with a list, feh)- boiling water is about all I do. Those grease pots are fragile but cheap. Nice that they have different sizes, mine is less than a liter but still big enough to boil ramen in if I need to.

I think I have the same one. Mine is a small Imusa grease pot. The cool thing about it is that a 32 oz gatoraide fits nicely inside. So, you get the canteen plus canteen cup for around $5-6 and it is much lighter than the military version.

I found a similar pot at Kmart but the rim rolls to the outside rather than the inside. Makes it a little easier to grab with a multitool (if you carry one).

To "enhance" the pot, you can add a lite-weight wire bail.
You can also remove the knob of the lid and replace it with a knotted piece of cord. This serves two purposes. The knob is actually the heavier part of the lid and by removing it you create a vent. This is useful when using the pot for baking.

The wire bail just makes it easier to lift off the fire. It can also help regulate the heat by moving the pot closer to or away from the fire (ie hang it from a stick).

Just a couple of tips I've picked up in using mine. I use this pot exclusively when using my twig stove. I reserve the Ti pot for use with my propane/butane stove (or alcohol if I had one).

Thanks I will keep that in mind. I just made a alcohol stove out of a couple Miller High Life Cans this weekend. I made a pressureized version that has to preheat a bit. However , I made a aluminum jet on my lathe that runs thru the center of the cans, The top of the jet is threaded and removable for refueling. It also has three drilled ports on the center jet. I made a simmer ring to cover the perimiter ports so only the center jet burns when needed, for simmering. I was amazed how well this works! The stove will burn just over six minutes on two table spoons alcohol. I will post boil times shortley as I am working on the wind screen. Happy Trails

The KMart/Wallyworld grease pot has been the staple of budget backpackers for quite a while. I used a KMart one for two years--took off the knob on the lid and replaced it with a piece of thin wire. It's still good although it has a few dents. While it has to be replaced every few years, you can buy quite a few grease pots for the price of one Ti pot!
