Is this, or any Titanium material pot strong enough to withstand constant use over an open flame -- as in backpacking use? Thanks!

It most certainly can I use it next to my issued metal canteen. Qhen compared to the ones that the marines issue this one distributes the heat better and allows me to use the handles.

Yes, absolutely! I am a avid backpacker and have been using my titanium mag for years. They are strong and durable!
1787577
Yes, in my experience I've had it sit over an open flame to boiling point for water, and it's been fine.

Yes titanium is strong enough for cooking on open fires. It will leave soot and residue but will not damage the pot.

I've had excellent results with this pot and titanium in general while backpacking. However, care must be taken to never heat the pot while empty or warping may result.

Titanium is tougher than aluminum, has a higher melting point, doesn't weigh any more, and is more corrosion resistant. That's why it twice as expensive, and worth it.

I'm sorry Greg (my sons name) but I gave it to my son-in-law for Christmas and he probably won't set it up until they need it this summer, sorry. He wanted something he could carry to their camper when they set up camp. As it shows wood inside I would think it would hold up to some high heat. That's what he will use it for. Sorry I can't be of more help.

yes it is a lightweight aluminum. We have had our for about 4 months and the kids love making hot sandwiches with it. It is quick and easy to use. I use it on our gas stove, have not tried to use it on an open fire. Comes with receipe's and there are more on line from their website.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

It is heavy metal. Should stand up to such use, although I have always used a propane stove.

The TOAKS spork is a very stiff, strong eating utensil, it will not bend easily at all. And due to titanium's inherent metal properties, it really isn't a good idea to play the "bendy" game with. When titanium fails, it fails spectacularly. That being said, it is a strong, long-lived light weight metal, well worth using for survival/camping gear - where weight is always a factor.

Hello,Thank you for your interest in TOAKS!Titanium pot can be used over the camp stove with water or other liquid in it. And should last long time. Frying with old can make the temperature go up to 260 degree celcius, and can shorten the life time of the pot.Please let us know if you have any questions. Best regards,TOAKS Outdoor Customer Service

Is some sort of sheet steel and it seems to be durable although I agree with some of the YouTube videos that I've seen you will need to purchase and apply high heat paint to it like in refitting a grill but it will and can serve for number of years. I have used one on several occasions now I would not apply the high heat paint until after the initial paint from the factory wears or burns off. Then clean and sand it then apply paint. Upkeep on this is a part of outdoor kit is necessary to prolong use in life of the stove. I have enjoyed this very much since my purchase.

This TOAKS pot, is small enough to rest on top of pretty much any flat surface. The size and volume is just a little larger than a red plastic picnic cup. As for using the pot. i love it. The titanium is very light and very durable. Using titanium for cooking boils water much fast than other materials or camping stoves. Well worth the price.

Depends on your heat source? The pot and pan are fairly thin nothing compared to home cookwear. I use this set with my msr micro rocket and can scorch foods easily if I'm not careful. So I use the lowest setting and stir food while rotating the pan to disperse the heat evenly. All in all, this pan set is perfect for backpacking

As long as it is outside over a controlled burner (not a campfire), and the temperatures are not extremely cold (such below 0), there's no reason this pot wouldn't hold up. We use ours on a huge 6 burner gas stove and fill it nearly to the brim with soup. Handles and everything have held up great.

K., Jesse has it right. Isobutane canister you find at most camping/backpacking stores. I use MSR ISOPRO for my fuel, but this stuff is available in lots of stores under different names. Screw it on, fold out pot supports, turn on gas using little wire handle and light. Your water or whatever will be happily boiling in a few minutes. Adjustment is smooth and easy using the little wire handle to get the amount of flame you want. When your done just unscrew and pack up but obviously wait a few minutes till it cools down. I purchased one of these for everyone in my family. I works and seems to hold up over time but I tend to baby my stuff since I hate to re-buy things once I get used to using them.

I would use a flame difuser with this product for use on a gas stove. While this tagine withstands temperature variations across the thickness and surface area being heated, even ceramic can fail if the heat source concentrates over a relatively small cross section, especially at the start of the heating cycle.

Your camping stove should definitely be fine on the table. It's sturdy for what it is and if you keep it safe from wet elements, it will last you. It's been one of our favorite BBQ accessory purchases

Possibly, however fire may damage the handles if left on the pot. On another point we found these pots warp quite quickly which really sucks considering the price of them. Very portable yes, mediocre quality!

As a tea affectionado myself, I empathize with your concern. As Stoker has said, if you hold the cup only by the handles, you won't get burned. If you are worried about the titanium burning your lips as aluminum most certainly will, IMO, titanium will not transmit heat as badly as will aluminum, titanium being very close to steel in that respect. Take reasonable care, wait until the temperature of the tea is somewhere around 130 to 140 degrees and you should do fine. Thats how I prefer my FTGFOP Darjeeling in my Toaks 450ml around the campfire.

Very little on my titanium pot. The heat this stove gives off with so little tinder is amazing... You do have to constantly feed it unless you use small pine cones. You do have to wait for the gassification to start then place your pot other wise you will get some soot.
