52/68 Oz Stainless Steel Camping Pot Cooking Kettle

I bought this as part of my effort to make my camping galley setup as compact and efficient as possible. I don't often use a tea kettle on my propane stove - we have an electric hot pot, powered by our solar-maintained house electric system that we use for our morning coffee and tea. In spite of that, I've had an old stainless steel whistling tea kettle in our galley kit for years. I've used it enough that I wanted to keep a tea kettle in the kit, but the old one didn't fit very well and was very tired.This kettle is well-constructed and lightweight. The lightweight is due to the fact that the stainless steel is quite thin. I think it will be adequate for our purposes, but I'm not sure it would stand up to hard daily use. The lid doesn't stay on very well - the recess that nests with the kettle is quite shallow. I've wrapped velcro around the kettle and lid for storage to make them behave better. I'm not a huge fan of the handle design of either the kettle or the lid. I've had camping cookware with wire handles like what's on the kettle and always found them to be a nuisance, but they do stow neatly. The handle on the lid will be hard to grip with a pot holder or mitt, and will undoubtedly burn naked fingers.To sum up, this tea kettle is nicely made, but a little under-built and over-priced. Still, I think it will serve our purposes well.

Good size pot

IMO, this is a great/versatile pot. Beautifully drawn and finished. Useful (sorta) handles ... the bail has a tentative but useful upright locked position. The folding side handles are those formed-wire converging things with mysterious sliding adjusters whose purpose has eluded me for 50 years. (Enlighten me if you can, PLEASE?) Regardless, I think it's well-appointed with handling options - however, all of them get HOT over a stove. Be prepared to use a pot holder or gloves/mitt when handling. Better yet, have a pot-lifter on hand, because tipping the pot towards the spout will be hard no matter which of the attached handle sets you try to use... and a pot lifter applied to the side of the pot makes pouring much easier. Also, I've found that all the spot welded handle straps make it a bit hard to wash the outside of the pot - lots of creases and swinging things; but this does not detract from my affection for this pot.I've confirmed that it will hold one EN417 (220g) mixed fuel canister easily - with plenty of "slop" for inclusion of a lot of other stuff - like one of those tiny backpacking stoves, some ignition materials, seasonings, short utensils, batteries, or whatever. It'll actually hold 2 EN417 220g canisters or one 440g canister, but the latter 2 will not allow the pot lid to seat completely.The capacity gives it a lot of versatility - load and heat a little or a lot.Some truthful observations:The capacities advertised are not exactly what I measured. To the bottom of the spout, I measure 40 ounces. At the top of the spout, I measured about 60 ounces. Obviously, one can fill to any level up to 60 ounces, although boiling 60 ounces does "spurt" some of the volume out the spout. There are no graduations on the pot, and there is no way this pot will hold 68 ounces unless you solder or tape the spout holes shut, and maybe not even then - didn't try.Total capacity ambiguity notwithstanding, this pot still has a larger capacity than all the "near quart" and very expensive options. Your choices are obviously going to be based upon what you do with your cookware. I use mine over a tiny backpacking stove on the back porch, during power outages, or to keep from heating up the kitchen in the summer - and just for fun (I LOVE tiny stoves - they're some of my favorite toys).Overall, I think this thing would last decades for anyone who uses it wisely. I don't cook anything in it which would deposit carbs or fats on the spout holes, since this makes the holes hard to clean. I suppose one could use a small brush on them to great effect.But one could definitely cook soups of a smaller than 40 oz. volume and pour it out the side of the pot without fowling the spout holes.There are other good pots out there, and I'd like to try the MSR Alpine Stowaway 1.6 L, but I haven't - so can't say anything about it. But this Teton Falls pot has a lot going for it.

Nice pot but handles not great. Side handles do not lock in any position. Would be much better if it had butterfly handles that lock both open and closed. The bail is supposed to lock when pushed down. It clicks but then pops right out. I found that it hung nicely over my campfire even with the handle problems.

I bought this for camping but it soon became a household favorite. This little pot is perfect for boiling just the right amount if water for three large cups of tea or two large ramen bowls. It gets used daily in our home and is the perfect size for two people. It takes 9 minutes to boil a full pot of water on high. It has a strainer built in. Have also used it over a four person twig stove.

Solid stainless steel construction. It's a perfect size and design for our camping set up, with a lid and two handle lifting points. We use it for cooking meals for two and for boiling coffee in the mornings (which it's spout makes it perfect for. The lid keeps heat in so we use much less fuel than before. It's versatile and packs down to make are kit much more efficient.

Great addition to my backpacking setup. Either my pocket-rocket-style iso stove or my bigger Coleman white gas backpacking stove fit inside it. Handles stay cool on the stove, works well on a fire too.

I ordered this as a hurricane preparation action, as I wanted something to use on the gas grill to cook/heat food & liquid with rather than use one of my good kitchenware pots. This little pot is designed perfectly. It's short in height, but the width allows for a surprisingly large amount of content. The handles, lid, spout, etc., are all high quality. Can't thank you enough for a just in time delivery. I'll be using it over the next several days, I'm sure.
