Snow Peak Trek 700 Titanium Cooker - 2007 BCS

I've been using this pot as my sole cooker for the last week on a pocket rocket and it is a great item. The handle does not get too hot to handle with bare hands and even the lid can be carefully removed without any hassle. My wife is braver than me and just uses her fingers, I use my folding knife.

i got this to replace my heavier aluminum coffee pot. the size is good--big enough to boil enough water for a couple cups of hot chocolate. the diameter is perfect for the 110 fuel cannisters, but i do wish that they would have made it just a few millimeters taller. if they had, two cannisters could stack in there with the lid on. as it is, i still put two cannisters in, but have to turn the lid upside down and pack it in the mesh bag since the lid would fall off if left out of the bag.

The Trek 700 Titanium Cooker is great if you don't have to boil much water. The handles get hot when the liquid level is above them. Better watch the lid also. You also can't fit the big snow peak gas cannister and stove inside. Think I should have went with the Trek 900.

This is the only pot I carry while out in the high country during my summer field work. It packs well (I normally use this pot with the MSR Pocket Rocket, which would fit right inside the pot along with my camp towel). I tend to keep my meals simple when I'm outside (dehydrated mixes, mac n' cheese, tortellini, etc), and I find this pot to handle all of my needs very well. If you are seeking to do more with your meals, you might want to look elsewhere. It is true that this pot gets HOT- including the handles- but once you've used this thing plenty you adapt to that soon enough.

The pot is non-stick, but I've found cleanup to be pretty simple with this one in comparison to similar pots. On top of that, this thing is durable...it has definitely slipped out of my pack on a few occasions and taken a stumble down some talus. I imagine this pot will last me for a long time.

Looked around at all the reviews when I was choosing a solo water boiler for backpacking. I do freezer bag cooking and this serves my purpose exactly for a solo trip. Worth getting the hot lips product with it so it is easier to drink directly out of it without burning your lips. Have not had any problems holding the metal handles after boiling water in it. Worked fine on alcohol stove and a canister stove.

I bought this Snowpeak titanium Trek 700 cooker prior to a trip on the AT in North Carolina, between I-40 and Lemon Gap.

I found the capacity was fine for the larger freeze dried soup cups, with room for a few additives. It also worked well with Mountain House eggs & bacon breakfasts, but it didn't have the capacity for a few of the other things I tried. Using this instead of my old large mug with lid allowed me to heat the water over a fire in this, instead of using my MSR kettle for this and coffee water - a nice convenience - with little to no added weight. It also nested my Ti mug inside it well, and the cooker's handles folded up for packing convenience.

The one shortcoming that irked me was that the lid turned out to be made from stainless steel, not titanium (not mentioned in the online descriptions). For one thing the cooker weighs more than it might if the lid were Ti. For another, you have a hard time lifting the lid without burning your fingers. I solved that problem by using the can opener attachment on my Swiss Army knife to hook into the lid hanger. I haven't tried to drain pasta yet through the drain slot, so that might be a little painful to do as well.

Over all, a good piece of trail cookery, but not what it could be if the lid were titanium as well.

If you're not nesting a stove in this pot, it fits almost perfectly around the stainless Nalgene (made by Guyot designs -I can't vouch for the standard Nalgenes although I suspect that they would be fine too) and also the large size 40oz Klean Kanteen. The included mesh sack also reaches to the shoulder / neck of both of these bottles so that you can tighten the draw cord and keep the bottle / pot securely together. Great combination!

I use this as my main cooker along with my SP stove. I stuff my cup, stove and utensils inside this guy and pack my fuel in the mesh with it. Very light weight, sturdy and easy to clean.

Worked great boiling water, love the measurements marked on the inside of the can.

One improvement could be some time of insulator on the handles so that they did not get hot.

Great stove for backpacking in moderate/nice weather. Used it on a three day trip at Big South Fork Tennessee and it worked wonderfully. The smallest amount of wind does seem to alter the boiling efficiency but in my mind that is to be expected with a stove this small and basic.

Carrying case is great, fits inside my 450 snowpeak mug while my canisters fit in my 700 titanium cooker mesh bag combo.

I did not experience any leaking when putting it on the stove after being folded up, not sure if they redesigned it so the valve could be all the way closed when folding or not but I never had this problem.

just got it in the mail- judos to BC.com for fast shipping. My Svea 123 fits inside perfectly, the lid sets flush against the bottom of the stove and it all fits inside the mesh stuff sack "just right". I'll tweak thias review once I've had a chance to work with the cooker, maybe get some pictures posted. -Taylor

than you found the right product. It is big enough to hold two fuel canisters or one + a SP stove. I personally love it. But if you are looking for something to support a larger group of people (say 3 or more), you'll probably want something bigger. Otherwise, all will have to stagger their consumption of hot water given the volume.... but if its just you (and another), then this is all you need.

Nice small little pot for boiling water and whatnot. Light, easy to clean, and works well.

I bought this to replace my GSI tea kettle. I wanted something to put my REI double walled titanium cup inside to save space.

On my first time using this on a day hike I knocked over the boiling water trying to take the lid off! It is a real problem (in my opinion) to remove the steel lid with it's little grab tab. Yes it is made to grab the tab with your thumb and pull back a little to lock the little tab on the oppisite side in place to pour out a liquid.

You really need gloves an a agile hand to make it work. I had the item for about 5 months with a fair amount of use and finally returned back to REI. They have a great return policy!!

If it had a better lid I would have kept it.

I have replaced it with a Snow Peak mini cookset. It has a larger volume with a "fry pan/Lid" combo that makes a great easy to use lid with the fry pan that I have not used yet.

The steel lid did not make sense.

The Snow Peak Trek 700 Titanium Cooker is light, compact enough to fit in my pack without being too bulky, but large enough to cook what I need (which is mainly 2 cups of water, but I've cooked raman in it before). I also enjoy it because you can fit in a 110 gas can inside of it perfectly. I usually put 2 gas cans in there and use my own aluminum foil lid. The Trek 700 Titanium Cooker is all I need for long backpacking trips.

This cooker has so much room to fit anything. Also superlite it also can fit a 16oz guiness when your car camping
