tell me yo thoughts.

It's very very small, I like it, best one I have'nt seen today.:)

Sorry Whitefoot_hp, my fingers engaged before the brain.

Heineken beer can modified into a cook pot is my choice for best homade cook pot.

I second Zelph on this one. Heineken pot.

I use a minibull side burner and a tall beercan heat shield. The whole shebang weighs 2 oz.

Throw in a pint of alcohol at 1 pound and a cozy at ?? and you are ready to cook for a week.

Depends on how much water you need to boil. If you can get by with 1 cup of water, the Sterno cans and bean dip cans hold about 9 ounces. After that, the Heineken, as others have mentioned, is a good choice. I would really like to find a 2 1/4 cup aluminum can sort of like the bean dip cans. A wider, flatter bottom would be much better than the beer can pots. A pot holding 2 1/4 cups would hold 2 cups of water without spilling. Does anyone know of something smaller than the grease pot but larger than bean dip cans?

Does anyone know of something smaller than the grease pot but larger than bean dip cans?Let's think outside the can.

Has anyone ever tried boiling water in a foil pouch? The kind chicken or tuna comes in? As long as it stays full of water it should work. You can boil water in paper bags, after all - that's an old middle school chemistry demo trick.

There are also foil casserole liners, like turkey pan liners but smaller.

If you can get by with 1 cup of water, the Sterno cans and bean dip cans hold about 9 ounces. Just sayin': I'd be real careful about boiling water in a can that held Sterno.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't do it. I've eaten chittlins. You should be real careful cleaning out both.

I use a Foster's can and like it pretty well. Though it does seem a little frail. The Heineken cans are made of a bit thicker material so it might be a little more durable if that's what your looking for.

Can't clean out chittlins, gross!!:eek: I'd rather eat a maggot.

:cool: Yeah, it's only one of my many material finds for potential protypes... haven't gotten around to actually making my prototypes, but the wife and I are getting ready to move to a house with a full unfinished basement and a bit of extra space in the garage (read "I will soon have workspace")... so, consequently, I may start cranking some stuff out this summer. :rolleyes:

msr homemaid . its there new line of hand made one of a kind trash pots. really cool stuff. a must for the avid hiker lacking imagination. my fav is the jiffy pop pot.

foil bagThat's what I'm talking about! Cut down one of the narrow ones and add some wicking to make a stove. A foil windscreen with hooks to hang a larger bag for a pot. You could fold up your entire cookset and carry it in your pocket.

This might be a good spoon for folks who eat out of Heineken can pots.
