Review on πŸ•οΈ Ultimate Stainless Steel Camping Pot Cooking Kettle for Adventurers - Teton Falls 52/68 Oz by Amber Dixon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality, above average volume.

IMO this is a great/versatile potty. Nicely drawn and finished. Useful (kind of) pens. The shackle has a temporary but useful vertical closed position. Folding side handles are converging wire constructions with mysterious sliders whose purpose has eluded me for 50 years. (Educate me if you can PLEASE?) Regardless, I think it's well-stocked with handling options - but they all get hot over the stove. Be prepared to use oven mitts or gloves/mittens when handling. It's even better to have a pot lifter on hand as it will be difficult to tip the pot to the spout whichever of the included handle sets you use. and a pot lifter attached to the side of the pot makes pouring much easier. Also, I found all the spot-welded straps make it difficult to clean the outside of the pot - lots of creases and wiggling stuff; but that doesn't lessen my affection for this pot. I've confirmed it can easily hold a canister of EN417 mixed fuel (220g) - with plenty of "junk" to include lots of other stuff - like one of those tiny camping stoves, some starter supplies, spices, short utensils, batteries, or something other. It actually holds 2 EN417 220g cans or one 440g can but the last 2 doesn't fully seat the pot lid. The capacity gives it great versatility - load and heat a little or a lot. Some truthful observations: Claimed capacities are not exactly what I measured. To the base of the spout I measure 40 ounces. At the tip of the spout I measured about 60 ounces. It's obviously possible to fill to any 60 oz level, although boiling 60 oz will see some of the volume squirt down the spout. There's no graduation on the pot, and there's no way this pot will hold 68 ounces unless you solder or glue the spout holes, and maybe even then - haven't tried. Despite the ambiguity of total capacity, this pot still has more capacity than all "close quarters" and very expensive options. Your choice will of course depend on what you are going to do with your cookware. I use mine over a small camp stove on my porch, during power outages, or to keep the kitchen warm in the summer - and just for fun (I LOVE small stoves, which are one of my favorite toys). All in all I think this thing will last for decades for someone who uses it wisely. I don't cook anything in it that would deposit carbs or fat on the spout holes as this makes the holes difficult to clean. I believe that a small brush can be used to create a bigger effect. But you can definitely make soups smaller than 40 ounces. Volume and pour through the side of the pan without plugging the holes in the spout. There are other good pots out there and I'd love to try the MSR Alpine Stowaway 1.6L but I haven't tried it so I can't say. about that. But this Teton Falls pot has many advantages.
