Excellent pot pays for itself! By JMT Master from Evolution Valley, CA on 10/10/2009 Pros: Durable, Fast Start, Saves fuel Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Saves fuel. My boiling times are 30-60 seconds less than with my old stainless steel pot. As mentioned, this is an aluminium pot with a non-stick coating inside. There is a metal ring welded to the bottom so that the pot can rest on a regular stove. My stove's supports are relatively small in diameter, so I have to align the supports so that they fit in between the fins (takes an extra second or two). I wish it came with an insulated bag like with the etapower stove set. Much more economical than the j-boil system.
Pots Work Well With Easy Modification By Bill from Fort Collins, CO on 09/23/2009 Best Uses: Backcountry Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This pot and its 2.1L brother worked well for us on a seven day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and on a five day backpack in Glacier NP. To make the pots work on our MSR stoves (SimmerLite and WindPro)we used a Dremel tool to cut away the flat ring around the heat exchanger at the points where the stove's pot support contacted it. This made the pot make firm contact with the stove's pot support and put the burner up inside the heat exchanger. The two pots nest well. Good value and good performance.
By BBT from San Francisco, CA on 08/14/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Be aware that this is not a titanium pot. It is aluminum, with a titanium coating. I was looking or a lightweight ti pot, and this was surely not that. Looks like good quality though.
I would buy this product again By MW from Boise on 07/10/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Light Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Winter Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I took this product backpacking with two other people. It more than met our needs.
EtaPower 1.7L pot does not fit By Walter from Albuquerque, NM on 06/17/2009 Best Uses: Backcountry Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The inside diameter of the heat exchanger attached to the bottom of this pot was too small to fit over my MSR Superfly canister stove. The description of the pot indicated it would work with MSR stoves, but that is not the case. Perhaps the bigger pot would work.
By JC from Western Oregon on 06/15/2009 Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Winter Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These heat exchanger pots really do work, if melting snow or doing lots of cooking they would save lots of fuel.
The finish makes them very easy to clean.
Nice addition to kitchen essentials By Dave the trail guy from Seattle, WA on 06/05/2009 Pros: Efficient, Saves fuel Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this pot with my penny alcohol stove and it has improved the efficiency at least 25%. Tall thin pots do not transfer heat well and even less so when using an alcohol stove. Though larger than some pots, I can put most of my kitchen stuff inside so there really is no space wasted because of it. It might be more pot than I need solo but for two or more I find it perfect. If needing to melt snow the extra efficiency really helps.
