Got this Snowpeak Kettle No. 1 for Christmas, thought I'd do an unboxing, and mini review.

The box:

Reverse side. Note the folding handles, bail, and spout, that has been spot welded in:

In hand:

You would be able to hold the lid while pouring, a nice feature. Of course you would have to be careful if hot:

Next to my 12cm Zebra, and Trangia Mini set for size comparison:

I had read somewhere, that a 12cm Zebra lid would fit perfectly on the Snowpeak Kettle No. 1, and they were right, perfect fit:

The Zebra's insert pan also fits:

And, of course, the Zebra lid would fit over it. You can see how well it fits. I was thinking, that this might be a good baking combo. Put some cake filling, bread, etc, in the insert pan, and the heat would escape out the spout:

The pan does tilt with the handles out. This is empty:

But even with the handles in, as expected:

Weighs in at 250 grams...:

...or, 8.82 ounces:

Very satisfied with this set. I think the size is about perfect, and the weight is good. I like that it has a both bail, and folding handles. This is made out of stainless, and thick enough to be heavy duty, but not too thin to be cheap. I believe it holds 30 ounces, by the way.

Thanks for looking.
 
Oh yeah, this was about $25 shipped, great price.
 
Good review, Dubz. I've got this kettle and the 12 cm Zebra too. Didn't realize they're compatible. Thanks for the info.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I too. look forward to using it. I don't get that chance often. I can always test it in the back yard, but it just doesn't have the same feel, haha.
 
Looks like a winner, one thing I do not like about my snowpeak TI soloist is how narrow the 700ml pot is, this one looks better for basic usage

It's a cool pot, I like it.

I've got it too and its a good unit. Very well made
Have you had a chance to use yours yet?
 
Nope - will do it soon though. What are those plastic looking clamps on your zebra pot? Are they really necessary? Can you remove them easily

When you raise the bail up, the plastic clamps down on the lid, to hold it on. Yes, they remove easily enough. You have to, or they'll melt.
 
good review, and I learned some info that will help me make a decision on a new pot. Thanks.
 
I just weighed my aluminum bush pot of about the same capacity, and it came to 8.4 ounces. I'm surprised that the Snow Peak stainless steel Kettle is less than half an ounce heavier. For the negligible weight difference, I think I'd lean toward stainless steel.

The weight really surprised me.
 
I don't care how many different sites you post this review on, the pot's STILL on the list. :)

As mentioned, I have the smaller aluminum bush pot of about the same capacity. I like that the Snow Peak is shorter and wider. Besides being less "tippy," it also makes it more efficient when on a stove.

Haha. On 3 forums. Word.

If the weather is decent this weekend, the wife and I were thinking about going on a small hike. Wanting to take the Emberlit, and this pot out.
 
Nice review. :thumbup:

I got one as a Christmas gift as well, but I've been out of the country and just unboxed it today. It's the perfect size for a solo pot, and a good compliment to a multi-kit for 2 people. It's hard to find a good pot this size with a bail (especially for this price), and the pouring spout is a nice addition. I also noted that the bail, while secure, can be removed easily if desired. All in all it seems like a well-made, durable pot.
