MSR Titan Titanium 2 Liter Pot - 2007 BCS

As with so many of my equipment purchases, I've managed to "buy my way up the ladder" with titanium cookware. I have 2 complete ultralight sets, and misc. pieces... This 2 ltr pot turned out to be the cookset solution I needed when I first started looking at titanium.

This pot is very light weight of course, but MORE importantly it is large enough to ACTUALLY COOK something!! Most of the ultra light sets are so small, that apart from boiling water they are nearly useless. I use this pot on long distance bicycle tours, and for general camping and the only way it could be better would be to have the lid double as a non-stick fry pan (although you can fry right in the pot).

The pot is large enough to accomdate my nearly any small campstove, including my Svea 123r. Additionally, I can still fit all my cooking accessories including fire starting and clean up items, and of course spices, spork, etc.

The size of the pot allows you the option of melting snow for drinking water without having to refill the pot several times. Also, it is very stable on the stoves I use: Svea 123, MSR XGKII, Trangia alcohol. Some reviews I've read don't like the pot holder/handle, but I've found that it works just fine.

I recently took this on a 16-day backpack, and was happy to shave every ounce I could. I was surprised by how much lighter it was then my MSR alpine pot, which is stainless steel. Probably half the weight or less. The lid has an insulated handle which makes it easy to use. Also, it's a tight squeeze, but an MSR XGK stove stores inside.

We bought this for use on a ten-day trip with friends through Death Valley and Yosemite. We used it together with their MSR Pocket Rocket. We cooked pasta, rice, and soup (for five) in this pot. One morning we even managed to make bacon and scrambled eggs (got around the heat distribution issue by moving the pot over the flame while the goods were still cookin'). We had an really easy time washing up every time; *nothing* sticks to the titanium. Since other reviewers mentioned it, we were a little concerned about how much we would like the pot holder, but hey it worked great for us, even when the pot was full of boiling pasta (very stable). We were glad to not have to buy or carry separate plates; the lid worked great. It all packed up nicely into its own stuff sack, and totally outshone our friends' gear!

Bought this pot in trying to go light for a recent 10-day backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada. Was concerned with MSR's statement that Titanium is the worst compared to Aluminum and Stainless for heat distribution. The pot, however, works great. Perfect for two big eaters, and worked well with my 10-year old MSR Dragonfly. Very light but sturdy, although it the lid just sits on the top and does not interlock with the pot bottom, so packing is hold it together and jam it in your pack. I do like the little lid handle -- my other set of SS-MSR pots always requires the pot holder to lift the lid. The small but light pot holder for this pot worked quite well.

it's light. it's expensive (not BC's fault). it's worth it if u have the money

The pot is so light you can hardly feel it when you pick it up and it is (as titanium suppose to be) very durable.
I used it both on open campfire and on a MSR Dragonfly. It got its dents of course but thats what I call character. Great pot if you want to save some weight. Just bring another pot holder - the one which comes with it isn't any good. I suggest the normal MSR handle.
