I'm guessing Ben that you used it on fire and mine has only been on a Dragonfly. Were I a fire cooker, I'd go the goodwill and other thrift stores route for pots and pans - or use my big deep square cast aluminum fry pan. BTW my pot is 3 at hard anodized aluminum I got from Bakepacker. Together, all I need for cooking, usually for two but once solo and once for four.
