Gee Wiz! We maintain four (4) pots and select depending on abuse. - Evernew 18-8 Stainless Steel 3 Liter Pot w/locking ring handles - two plus (2+) users - Great for melting snow in conjunction w/WhisperLite Liquid Fuel Stove. Feature of locking ring handles means no vocabulary disintegration due to misplaced pot holder handle. EZ pour with both hands.
- REI Ti Ware Nonstick Pot 1.3L (Titanium) - My daughter uses it on overnighters w/friends and MSR Pocket Rocket w/canister
- MSR Reactor 1.7 Liter Stove System - Two (2) person - three (3) season go to complete canister stove system for multi-day use
- Evernew Ultra-Light Model:2 0.9 liter Titanium Cookware - Solo hiker - three (3) season - w/Pocket Rocket 2 canister stove

A bunch of us road-tripped to Amsterdam for my 30's birthday. We rolled a lot of joints. We named them all after a state. Texas was the biggest. We thought it was hilarious at the time. Who knew? That is funny!

Evernew 900ml Ti w/caldera cone-1-2 person for rehydrating a meal and a cup of coffee. Must cook twice for two people to rehydrate two meals and make two 450ml cups of coffee To escape the madness of doing everything twice I’ve found that a 1.3 L pot is the smallest size for two in our case. We both like double cups of chocolate, tea or coffee in our 600 ml mugs. Same with hot soup. Evernew pots are nice and wide so they are fuel efficient and durable. Mine has seen some serious usage. We also have a 2 l Snow Peak for those times we take a friend. Both work perfectly with the White Box alcohol stove or the remote canister Kovea Spider with the tight, night wind screens I make with tooling foil. Fuel efficiency is super good.

It is my ultralight solo kit that I used on our trip when my wife first began joining me on hikes. I have since upgraded to the 1.9L MSR Alpha Pot and Sea To Summit 8.5" frying pan for two. I also use the trangia 25 set depending on how fancy a meal that I want to make. I always choose my pots 25% larger than the intended meal size to prevent stirring and boiling issues unless it's for heating water only.

For quite some time I used a GSI Kettelist tea pot style, with an alcohol stove. More recently, I'm using an Optimus Terra Weekend HE. 0.95L my canister and stove (Optimus Crux - the old style) or my SVEA 123 fits right in there. The more I use this thing the more I like it. The heat exchanger on the bottom really makes a difference in boil times. The lid is advertised as a 'fry pan' and I've used it as such, but it works better as an additional cup. Either one will handle enough water for two, and as a solo hiker, it's a luxury!

I use a 1.8 liter to boil water; a 1.4 liter to eat out of and a cup to scoop water into the meal pot. All of them nest together and has room for my stove (minus fuel canister), spoon and can opener. I boil enough water to use for eating and to clean up.
