Solo StoveSolo Pot 900 - Lightweight Stainless Steel Backpacking Pot | Boil Water Quickly | Volume Markings and Pour Spout

Great SS pot in its size range. I’ve owned dozens of camp pots and kettles over the years and these are the things I really like about this pot:* Light weight, but not flimsy. (Though it could be crushed in a pack if care is not taken)* Volume markings* Lid handle folds up, so you can lift it off after use without a gripper, etc.* Handles similarly fold out to stay cool on the stove and fold in for easy packing or storage.* “Spout” allows easy pouring and allows lid to be used like a sieve to keep tea bags or pasta in the pot.* I really like the proportions in general for use on various stoves. (I did not buy this specifically for the solo stove).* In my experience, pot coatings eventually wear off and some pose health concerns, so I think SS is a great choice and certainly preferable to aluminum.All in all, I think this is a thought out, functional product, reasonably priced. I was amazed how many pots on the market lack many of these features. This review is based on using this product approximately 30 times to date. This is my personal review. I did not receive any discount or incentive from the manufacturer or seller of this product.

I recently took this pot on a weekend camping trip with some friends. I wanted something that was large enough to boil enough water to make coffee for three people, but wasn't terribly heavy as I was carrying my gear in a backpack. This pot fit the bill admirably. It appears to be very well made, and I look forward to getting a lot of use out of it. I did use gloves when handling the pot after boiling water which I recommend.Pros:- This pot will hold an 8 oz./ 230 gram fuel can inside with room to spare, both on top and on the sides, so it might rattle a bit.- I have read reviews on other pots that state an issue with the lid staying in place when covering the pot. Not the case here. The lid of this pot is so well fitted, that I can place the lid on an empty pot and then pick up the entire thing by the loop on the lid. (DO NOT try this with a full pot)- Unexpected pro: The carry bag that came with the pot was large enough to hold the pot (with fuel can nested inside), my backpacking stove in it's plastic container, and a plastic knife/fork utensil.Cons:- The loop on top of the lid does have a feature that allows it to stay upright, but when pulling the lid off to check how my water was doing, it can come loose and fall down again. This is not enough for me however to take a star away from it.Overall I would recommend this pot to anyone.

Pros: The birds mouth spout is a great design and works good, better than having a large protruding spout welded on. Lid fit's down deep, does not teter-totter like other products with shallow rounded lid lips. Lid handle mount has a position that allows it to stand up straight so it's easy to grab when hot - another great design feature. Handle mount design makes them stay open or closed - nice.Cons: Volume markings are stamped into the metal (good thing) but only intended to be read from the inside. They're visible from the outside, just a little hassle trying to read inverted text. One column of text is labeled OZ, the other column is not labeled just has numbers (liters). Labels go from 0.2 to 0.8L, and 10 to 30 oz. Neither of the labels starts at the bottom or goes to the top. It will hold 1.0 liter or 32 oz.The dimensions make it easy to clean. I have a hard time getting my hand into the tall/narrow products while cleaning but this one is easy.

I consider myself a "lighter" (as opposed to an ultralighter) when it comes to backpacking. I've carried alcohol stoves for years and really enjoy them. Quiet, easy, cheap ... all good things. This year I decided I'd like to try biomass stoves for backpacking and leave the fuel canisters and bottles of yellow Heet at home. I bought a Solo Stove Lite, and this pot ... which the Lite nests in perfectly ... and gave it a shot. I have to admit, I love it. The stove is about a half pound itself, which is heavy to me. The pot is heavier than my normal 900ml pot, which is made of titanium. However, I don't have a fuel canister, so there's some weight tradeoff there. I have used my Solo setup a few times now and love the experience of cooking with a twig stove. This pot is the perfect companion for the Solo Stove Lite. I have since collected a couple more twig stoves (Ti this time) and use them a lot now. I really enjoy this product and find myself surprised at how little the weight matters to me on the trail when I get a good fire going to cook up some Texas State Fair Chili (shout out to Packit Gourmet) or a cup of tea. Love this pot and the stove it pairs so perfectly with.

My boyfriend and I needed a small, lightweight pot to boil water in for freeze-dried meals. This one is perfect - big enough to boil a few cups of water at a time, but still small enough to take on long-distance hikes. The lid is very secure, even when we poured water out of the spout. The handles do get hot, as we set the pot directly in the coals of our fires, so we just used a long stick to move it out of the fire once the water started to boil. Super excited about this purchase - definitely worth the money!

After being disappointed with an anodized aluminum cook pot, I decided to try this stainless steel pot. Almost as lightweight as the aluminum pot with good design and quality stainless material. The folding handle works very well, and the cover handle can be locked upright while cooking and has a comfortable grip. The cover fits snug, and the pour spout relieves steam as well as pouring liquid. The 900ml capacity easily handles a ramen noodle meal with room to spare, and liquid measure marks are easy to read. Works well as a drinking cup too. A kitchen scrub pad cleans up any burnt on food. Stuff bag included. Used at home for now, before taking it on the trail. Should work well with any backpacking stove.
