Re: [Philmont]: stoves and pots

We used the dragonfly stoves and really like them compared to other
backpacker stoves I've used. I even had to field clean one once in real
sandy/dusty area and it was a snap to clean the pump cylinder. We used
Philmont pots this last summer and did fine with them but the 8 qt is tough
to store in/on a pack. next time I would opt or the 4 or 6 qt and fire up
another stove.

I see that most people take 4, 6 or 8 quart pots on treks. The backpacking
pots we have used have been 2 qt. Which larger pots does everyone recommend
and where have you acquired these? I see large kettle type at Campmor and
assume this is what everyone is using. We have used Whisperlite stoves on
our backpacking ventures. These are old and I was going to replace at least
one stove before our trek. Has anyone used the new dragonfly, shaker or
international models and have comments on them.
Thanks,
