With my stainless steel pots, I could throw it on the fire versus having to break out the stove. Can you do this with titanium cookware?

The melting temperature of stainless steel is about 2750 F, which is actually lower than the melting temperature of Titanium which is about 3040 F. That being said your stainless steel is more likely to melt than the titanium pot, however I would still recommend against it as you would most likely ruin the silicone insulation on the pot handles. If you don't care about the melting of insulation on the handles I would say, go for it, but personally I would pick a cheaper pot to throw in a fire. It should also be noted that aluminum has a significantly lower melting temperature than both titanium and stainless steel at 1220 F, so definitely don't go with aluminum for open fire cooking. source: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/melting-temperature-metals-d_860.html Happy Camping!
