Solo Stove Solo Pot 900 - Lightweight Stainless Steel Backpacking Pot | Boil Water Quickly | Volume Markings and Pour Spout

Great SS pot in its size range. I’ve owned dozens of camp pots and kettles over the years and these are the things I really like about this pot: * Light weight, but not flimsy. (Though it could be crushed in a pack if care is not taken) * Volume markings * Lid handle folds up, so you can lift it off after use without a gripper, etc. * Handles similarly fold out to stay cool on the stove and fold in for easy packing or storage. * “Spout” allows easy pouring and allows lid to be used like a sieve to keep tea bags or pasta in the pot. * I really like the proportions in general for use on various stoves. (I did not buy this specifically for the solo stove). * In my experience, pot coatings eventually wear off and some pose health concerns, so I think SS is a great choice and certainly preferable to aluminum. All in all, I think this is a thought out, functional product, reasonably priced. I was amazed how many pots on the market lack many of these features. This review is based on using this product approximately 30 times to date. This is my personal review. I did not receive any discount or incentive from the manufacturer or seller of this product.

I recently took this pot on a weekend camping trip with some friends. I wanted something that was large enough to boil enough water to make coffee for three people, but wasn't terribly heavy as I was carrying my gear in a backpack. This pot fit the bill admirably. It appears to be very well made, and I look forward to getting a lot of use out of it. I did use gloves when handling the pot after boiling water which I recommend. Pros: - This pot will hold an 8 oz./ 230 gram fuel can inside with room to spare, both on top and on the sides, so it might rattle a bit. - I have read reviews on other pots that state an issue with the lid staying in place when covering the pot. Not the case here. The lid of this pot is so well fitted, that I can place the lid on an empty pot and then pick up the entire thing by the loop on the lid. (DO NOT try this with a full pot) - Unexpected pro: The carry bag that came with the pot was large enough to hold the pot (with fuel can nested inside), my backpacking stove in it's plastic container, and a plastic knife/fork utensil. Cons: - The loop on top of the lid does have a feature that allows it to stay upright, but when pulling the lid off to check how my water was doing, it can come loose and fall down again. This is not enough for me however to take a star away from it. Overall I would recommend this pot to anyone.

I consider myself a "lighter" (as opposed to an ultralighter) when it comes to backpacking. I've carried alcohol stoves for years and really enjoy them. Quiet, easy, cheap ... all good things. This year I decided I'd like to try biomass stoves for backpacking and leave the fuel canisters and bottles of yellow Heet at home. I bought a Solo Stove Lite, and this pot ... which the Lite nests in perfectly ... and gave it a shot. I have to admit, I love it. The stove is about a half pound itself, which is heavy to me. The pot is heavier than my normal 900ml pot, which is made of titanium. However, I don't have a fuel canister, so there's some weight tradeoff there. I have used my Solo setup a few times now and love the experience of cooking with a twig stove. This pot is the perfect companion for the Solo Stove Lite. I have since collected a couple more twig stoves (Ti this time) and use them a lot now. I really enjoy this product and find myself surprised at how little the weight matters to me on the trail when I get a good fire going to cook up some Texas State Fair Chili (shout out to Packit Gourmet) or a cup of tea. Love this pot and the stove it pairs so perfectly with.

I'm an experience and design guy - love the design consideration that allows for a perfect hassle free fit for the solo stove inside. Love the little stand up lid ring with drippy rubber - it stands up so it doesn't get too hot to handle. At first I thought SS was going to be too heavy, but I really like the small size (smaller than I expected) and it is space efficient. So, it's weight for functionality ratio is right on. I did not give it perfect marks because the handles get extremely hot and you need a hot pad. Simply using your sleeve will not work. The stainless retains heat and will radiate through most fabrics quickly. I would like to see you either make the handles longer, make them out of a different material, or provide an integral insulating device that packs with the pot, lid and stove.

Just heavy enough stainless-steel gauge to not easily bend - of course this is designed to be realtively lightweight, so reasonable care is still needed to avoid dents/deformation. The lid fit is better than most camping pots that I've owned. I definitely like the pour "spout". Reasonable price for the quality. I'll mostly use this for car camping, but it would be fine for shorter overnight backpacking trips too.

Great pot. Pours VERY WELL! Handles can get a little warm if you have flames coming up the side, but I will post a photo of how I set up my windscreen to mitigate that risk. I use this with an OUTAD spirit burner stove. I like to make pour over coffee on the trail and this pot allows me to do a controlled pour using the GSI ultralight java drip. If its completely full. I will continue to update this review the more is use this stove. I love the low profile spout, it heats well without sacrificing a lot of heating ability that a more pronounced pour spout would do. It is also much lighter than just about any other stainless steel pots. Edit: added photos from my most recent field exercise. Edit #2: It's now January 2019 and I use this pot very regularly, almost once a week at least. It is 50% cheaper than when i bought it! I can fit a med sized fuel cell, a snowpeak stove, a lighter, a folding spoon and a handkerchief inside. It has served me well.

I love this pot. I am considering using it for backpacking despite its weight. I used to be into Ultralite, but have started going the other way a bit for convenience. I use it with my solostove lite, which is also very heavy. The quality is very good for both of these items, however. If you are looking for a quality and durable pot this is a great choice. I also have an MSR titanium pot, but don't use it much anymore because it's only 750ml which is a bit small for two. I find the solostove 900ml works well for two.

Pros: The birds mouth spout is a great design and works good, better than having a large protruding spout welded on. Lid fit's down deep, does not teter-totter like other products with shallow rounded lid lips. Lid handle mount has a position that allows it to stand up straight so it's easy to grab when hot - another great design feature. Handle mount design makes them stay open or closed - nice. Cons: Volume markings are stamped into the metal (good thing) but only intended to be read from the inside. They're visible from the outside, just a little hassle trying to read inverted text. One column of text is labeled OZ, the other column is not labeled just has numbers (liters). Labels go from 0.2 to 0.8L, and 10 to 30 oz. Neither of the labels starts at the bottom or goes to the top. It will hold 1.0 liter or 32 oz. The dimensions make it easy to clean. I have a hard time getting my hand into the tall/narrow products while cleaning but this one is easy.
