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

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.

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.

This is for my traveling Grand daughter and she will be very pleased with it

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 love this pot. I am considering using it for backpacking despite its weight. I used to be into Ultralite, but have started going the other way a bit for convenience.I use it with my solostove lite, which is also very heavy. The quality is very good for both of these items, however. If you are looking for a quality and durable pot this is a great choice. I also have an MSR titanium pot, but don't use it much anymore because it's only 750ml which is a bit small for two.I find the solostove 900ml works well for two.

Bought this item a few months ago for the day long hikes I sometimes Take. It performs well. It even has the measurements on the inside so I can boil just enough water to heat a Mountainhouse meal or whatever brand I happen to get. Another cool part that may not be obvious from the picture is this pot has a kettle spout that makes pouring water for tea or coffee much easier. I use it for this when I go out on the really cold day i can have something to keep warm. I use this pot with either a Trangia burner and an Esbit ultralight base or my MSR Pocket Rocket (Esbit is my default, but the MSR is more reliable in the cold). The one complaint I have has to do with the pot handles. In a really windy environment if you are using an alcohol stove or if you have the flame whipped up to compensate for the wind on a canister stove be careful when you pick the pot up. The handles don't come out very far and if you do not pay attention to whether or not the flame is going out the side or not you could end up burning you hand (or melting a glove in my case). The solution is easy. Just turn the pot so the handles face into the wind. Still a bit of a hassle though.
