    Default Grease Pot

    I know some people have a hard time finding a grease pot at Wally World. This web site www.end2endtrailsupply.com has them for $6.50. Everything is free shipping till 1/15. I bought some small gadgets. I like the mini razor knife 2grams that just shaved off 2 ounces from my swiss army.
    I also bought the Imsua Mug 24 oz cap. 2.4 oz weight for $3.50.

    Thanks for the heads up. I went there and purchased some for the ZMart kits. There's are the same ones offered at Kmart for $7.00, lip rolled outward. I'll be making the kits available on ebay when the weather warms up a bit.

    I have so many pots. I was experimenting with boil times, you can't beat the quickness of boil from the grease pot. But it requires you to bring a cup...or drink from a 6" pot!

    I was in Walmart this morning and got the Imusa 24 oz mug for 2.09 with tax. I use this mug for cooking. I never seem to need anything bigger.

    I find the IMUSA mugs at WalMart, but the greasepots are at KMart.

    Why would anyone buy something called a "grease pot"?

    Why buy a grease pot ?

    • Low cost less than $7
    • Super lite weight at under 4oz
    • Low cost
    • Holds 4 cups of water
    • Comes with lid
    • Compact size
    • Only drawback is that it does not have a handle

    Its called a grease pot as the ones you get at KMart come with a strainer for straining bacon grease that is being poured into the pot. And the lid has "GREASE" stamped on on it

    Its small compact size makes it ideal for LW backpackers or any one who just needs a small pot to boil a few cups of water in.

    5 minutes work solves that. Drill two small holes near the brim for an angled piece of wire and cut two small slots in the side of the lid to match.

    My pot bail comes off easily (when I want it to) and stores inside the pot with the windscreen, etc.

    The grease pot I just got from Walmart (not in the camping section, but in the kitchen gadget isle) did have a handle! Now I need to figure out if a bandana is enough to pick the grease pot up from a supercat stove or if I'm going to need more of an oven mitt type thing. Since my mom and I will both be using the grease pot, we plan to just boil water in it and then pour the water into our freezerbags or mugs.

    Yea I saw that one at Wally World too. Its not the same one we are referring to however. Yours looks more like a coffee pot. The other grease pot has a larger diameter.

    Get one of those flexible silicone oven pads and cut it up with scissors. You don't need to carry the whole thing.

    I use my bandanna for my ti pot. Should work for the aluminum grease pot, but the rim of the pot will probably be hotter than a ti pot.
