Update: swapped my whole cook kit for a $12 grease pot from the Asian grocery on Bellaire
Carried a nesting cookset for 6 seasons, then tried a cheap aluminum grease pot on a 3 day trip outside Austin and it boiled faster and weighed nothing. Anyone else ditch their fancy set for something off the restaurant supply shelf?
That grease pot thing is real. My setup was a Jetboil and a GSI kit, all the bells and whistles, then I grabbed a $9 pot at a restaurant supply place off Airport Blvd and never looked back. Boils water in like 2 minutes and nests inside my mug. Fancy gear is mostly marketing once you stop caring about looking cool at camp. The cheap stuff just works and you don't cry when you dent it.
