I love my little teapot! This is the only pot I take backpacking. I heat 3 cups of water each night. One to hydrate my dinner, one for a cup of hot chocolate, and one to hydrate my overnight oatmeal for breakfast.

OK, I've been using a popular titanium 750 ml pot for outdoor cooking but have had issues with it. First, the handles can get very hot. This could cause a dropped pot and scalding hot water burns. Second, the narrow base means that heat from my (alcohol) stove is wasted to the air around the pot. Third, titanium is light weight but a little expensive.So, I ordered the camp kettle and so far, am very pleased. The handle is over the top, much like a bale, and does not get hot, the base is wide and more efficient, fuel-wise, the pot (and storage bag) weigh 156 grams (only 42 g more than the titanium pot), and lastly, the kettle costs less than half the titanium.As a bonus I can store my coffee cone inside the kettle, which was not possible with the pot. So, this is my new system. I don't think there's anything I can do with the pot that I can't do with the kettle. I can make food in it and eat out of it just fine. I think anyone who uses a pot needs to seriously consider a kettle.

I bought this for my Trangia 27 HA kit as they don't make kettles in anything but raw aluminum.It's a little more expensive than I would have liked, but there is literally no other kettle that I've found that would fit the system.It fits well on the pot supports without needing the pan stand. It will also pack up inside just like the original. It can't sit centered (see pic) as the pot support arms won't lay down flat enough, but a slight offset and you're good to go. Once it's strapped down, it doesn't move.The opening is smaller than a Trangia one so you can't get the pot grippers inside. You can fit the stove inside with room for matches or a lighter.I'm pleased with it so far. I'll update the review if something changes in the future.

Was surprised by how small this is, but also with how much water it holds.My wife doesn't drink coffee, so this is more than enough to fill our K cup camping coffee maker for one.Turns out it's perfect and takes almost no space to pack.
