Has anyone noticed a strange smell about the water after boiling it in the grease pot? I picked one up just to experiment a little...Has anyone eaten from one of these and lived to tell about it? Thanks.
i have used one,never noticed a smell or funny taste,i prefer my msr titan kettle

didn't notice anything odd about mine... Did you wash & rinse it well before you used it the first time?

I may have gotten the alcohol fumes fixed in my system after all the tests on some stoves i've been experimenting with. I was probably smelling that. After posting this, I looked around on the internet and saw that this pot is more popular than I realized. Thanks for the replies.
My grease pot has served me well for about 400 miles of AT hiking without a hitch. I use a anti-gravity gear cozy so nothing ever really burns to the sides.

Could be that China got to much human remains in the metal mixture when they made the pot. That is where a lot of the dissidents wind up ya know.
I found this while perusing items to resell on EBay. This one burns the little fuel tabs...

Knock off of the Esbit pocket stove. You can build something with a soda can that is lighter and simpler. Beware that some of these knoxk off use substandard rivits in the hinge pin and it gets to where they won't hold in the upright position and sometimes they even break off.

I can't stand misspellings. I'm like Rain-Man that way.

Could it be that last summer's tuna and cheese that got caught under the inward folding lip (along with all the other moisture-loving bacteria) is just digging the heat?

The lip is turned-out rather than in.
I checked out Antigravity.com's prices on Enertia dehydrated foods. Right now BackpackingDeals.com is selling them for around 25 to 30 percent lower prices.

I have an antigravitygear pot...very good pot. Does the Tin Man make those himself I wonder?

The other nice thing about it is that it helps a hiker we know and not some billion-dollar corporation that shuts down our hiker buddy's businesses.
