    One that nests and you can put the canister inside and fit the rocket. Simply go to a EMS store grab the demo rocket & empty canister and walk over to the pots. dry test fit it.

    I will admit I lucked out as REI had a combo when I purchased mine.

    I use the GSI Soloist with a collapsible silicone Sea to Summit X-Mug, a 3.5oz Snow Peak Gigapower Isobutane / Propane Canister or a jetboil canister, The Pocket Rocket, a Bic Lighter and a slightly bent Snowpeak Titanium Spork.

    All fits inside the soloist.

    But mostly I boil water with it.

    but it ain't so bad if you have a great big bottle o'scotch

    Well, MSR makes one that works perfect, but its rather expensive ($50-60). I've got the same GSI pot that is now part of the systems called soloist/dualist, and it works very well.

    I have the REI version or what wise old owl posted. It works great, the ridges on the bottom of the pan grip real well to the pocket rocket. You can cook dogs and pancakes no problem, just watch how high you have the flame.

    I used a SNowpeak titanium 900 for individual use. For my son and I, we went the step up to the bigger set.

    I use the MSR duralite set with my pocket rocket. A big fuel canister, the pocket rocket, the pot holder, a bic lighter, a small salt and pepper shaker, a spork, a small container of oliver oil and a spork all fit within the biggest pot in that set - no joke.

    played with one for awhile. didn't like curved bottom pots. they were easily toppled. flat bottomed pots sat very well.

    MSR Titan Kettle, the perfect companion to the Pocket Rocket. It's what I used before I went with an alky stove and it's still a great combination.

    Does anyone know of a small solo pot that has a lid that will double as a frying pan? I so want to be able to cook me up some pancakes every now and then...

    I use the Vargo Ti-lite mug. It has a lid with strainer holes. I love it.

    For several years now I've used the 1.5 liter "Accessory" pot that Jet Boil sells. It's probably bigger and heavier than some folks might want, but for cooking large meals, it's great, plus because of the unique design, it heats up VERY quickly. Plus, even tho it was obviously designed to work with a JB system, it works fine with other stoves including small canninster stoves.

    thanks for all the good suggestions. I just did not want to do the legwork right now. Thanks Wise Old Owl, I bought one of the sets. Looks like it will work great no matter what stove I actually end up doing a thru hike with. Thanks again.

    Yup I went to the basement and measured the cannister, I hope it works out for you.

    I'll try it out when I receive it in the mail. Cold weather is pretty much here so it will be fun. Although its not REALLY cold, but will be soon. Thanks again for the heads up. That was a real steal for the money.
