Light and cheap cook pot from Kmart

[DaleW]

Here's a light and cheap cook pot for hiking and your PSK. All aluminum, sold at Kmart for $6.99, weighs 3.7oz minus the stainer and holds a full quart/liter. That is lighter than some titanium rigs at 5 times the price.

You can get them on line at http://www.amazon.com/Stanco-Metal-...000MVTIOQ/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt/102-4053193-5869739 for $4.97 plus shipping.

How do you lift it off the fire...

You could add a wire bail or use a standard hiking pot lifter. I use an Esbit or alcohol stove most of the time and a good ol' bandana does the trick. Many ultralight cook pots come without handles to save weight.

Have you put a fire to it yet? Wondering how it responds to flame.
