Backcountry.com Titanium Cookset - 700ml Pot /Spork
Great Value - Behind the best though

The spork is beautiful, love it.
The pot is pretty as well, lightweight, well built and the best price for a titanium pot. Its design however, could be easily improved: It is too narrow and tall - its proportions make the pot not so heat-efficient and prone to burn the food at bottom while cooking the rest. The lid could fit snugger to make draining easy. Bottom line: I like it and I'm happy to have it but you'll struggle if it is your cooking pot. Great for boiling water and use it as a mug/bowl. It's clearly behind the (overly priced) MSR Titan Titanium Kettle.

As far as the pot being too tall and narrow, well that it is. But there are other options out there that are short and fat (look at the Evernew ti pots for example). This pot is simply an alternative to other pots. So, I wouldn't say it is behind, just different. As for the stoves, I have had no problems using a canister stove with this pot, and well. Now for alcohol stoves that is a little different. However, when using an alcohol stove there is a little more to it than just screwing a stove onto a canister and lighting it up. With alky stoves the proper diameter pot must be used with the correct size flame pattern. With this pot, I successfully use the Gram Weenie Pro stove. Hope this helps.
