I'm keeping this in the back of my mind in case it's ever has to be done. I like the Titanium because of the light weight and how it cools so fast. All my stainless steel has been replaced with titanium. I even found a titanium non Stick frying pan ( from Evernew ). It's my understanding that titanium is used in jet engines because of it's heat capabilities , light weight and strength.
Great video. I had partial success with this method throwing a stainless steel pot into my weber charcoal bbq kettle. If i had more charcoal it probably wouldve been a 100% success
@@Lonewolfwildcamping yes I'm gonna sort through my equipment to figure out which is aluminium and gradually replace over time. in the meantime I'll throw a dirty titanium pot into my next fire
Amazing how many people say the exact opposite of titanium. Thanks for the video - titanium will indeed be a part of my ultralight setup. I mostly cook over a fire - the reason I was hesitant because of so many people saying you can’t do it.
Speaking of creosote, is that an issue if you burn wood that would create that, or does it just burn off? I ask because I've cooked with stainless steel pots like that on a stick fire and had to clean the creosote off afterwards
I’m in a civil defense militia and I always wonder why some of us don’t even cary a compact cooking pot that’s literally one of the most important things besides your rifle sidearm knife and ammo and water
Your right man , not having a shrimpy coffee is a plus ..... XD i have to get one of those titanium cup i only have stainless steel because its cheap .
👍👍👍 .. now that was interesting .. thanks. The only titanium item that I have is a Spork. Currently my pocket cannot afford more and anyway, I have way too much Aluminium and Stainless Steel Cookware to just sideline. So .. until I get a $$$ windfall, I'll stick to moderating (or trying to) the temperature of my heat source and regular stirring. Also, I'm past my 'sell-by date' regarding any distance 'if it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium' treks so weight is no lomger that much of an issue. When I was younger, it wasn't either .. but then, we did not know any better or have 😏. A good posting .. something for the little grey cell toolbox .. just in case 😊.
Great video. Thank you. I have a few questions. 1. Why is there not any soot building up on the Titanium pot when your burning it in the fire like that? 2. Will this method clean built up soot on the cook pot off? I just got a Bushduddy stove and I am trying to find easy ways to clean the soot off the cook pot while I am out in the woods.
A little late to the party. But the high temperature will litteraly burn off soot on the pot, if you elevate the pot away from the fire the soot technically condenses on the pot. If the pot already have soot on it, the hot fire will use it as fuel, not a lot of fuel, but it'll burn the soot.
Great Chanel! One question, you said you wanna change your stove kit back to alcohol, have you already the new system and what burner do you take? Hey ,thank's alot and greetings from Berlin Germany 👍🏻
I just made a additional set for myself using a burner from Goshawk stoves, their Siphon Alcohol stove , EDDY-X-NEW steampunk ( Brass stove and stand included ) and a Vargo titanium 700 bot.
I think if you are concerned about weight and using a natural fire Titanium has to be the best option. Cleaning this way makes sense, little water required, no effort and an individual looking piece of utensil/pot art when you have finished. I have lots of titanium gear but I have recently started to appreciate anodised aluminium as a great material for camping gear, easy to maintain and has good heat dispersion, this is now my material of choice with gas. EDIT When weight isn't an issue I use carbon steel and cast iron pans/skillets along with anodised aluminium cooking pots.
6:09 C'est quoi la marque ? *Bestargo ?* Je me renseigne car je compte acheter un set de cuisine en titan de la marque *Toaks* , est-ce que c'est aussi bien que ta marque ?
Best way to take the black taint off the titanium is just rub it into the dirt like wash the dirt off and u will never tell its been on the fire. I know about titanium on fire and the black stain it leaves its hard clean off with billow pad.
It will totally deform some titanium pots. I have multiple titanium pots that are deformed from throwing them directly on campfires. I personally don't care that they are are a little deformed, and I absolutely occasionally clean pots with this method. But they will for sure deform, the main thing that will determine this is how thick your titanium is. The thicker, the less problem with deformation.
Not if it's real titanium, ur fire 🔥 needs to reach 3034 °F for titanium to melt. Red flames range 1112-1800°F, yellow-orange 2012°F and white 2400-2700°F. Blue flame is hotter at 2600-3000°F but ur campfire isn't likely to burn that hot 🥵 Fyi aluminum melts at 1221°F so don't toss ur aluminum frying pan in the fire to clean it.
Pfff, This was going to be what I did the first time I used titanium on my first backpacking trip but my friend that got me into backpacking told me it was going to ruin it... I knew I should have just trusted my instincts.
I see the bottom of your pot is not designed to be entirely flat, but instead it has this round "indentation" in the middle - just like i got on my 3 pieces of titanium cookpots that i got today. This seems very impractical when i want to stir in the bottom of the pot. Why would anyone do this? I got this on 2 different brands, and you have it on a third... Dont anyone make flat bottom pots anymore?

No, just add water (and soap if you have it), then clean it the way you made it dirty. If you cooked it, cook it; if you blended it, blend it. It works for alot of things. Your method works, but it's last ditch. Also, make sure it's titanium, because other metals might not deal to well with this 😂
Not all titanium pots are created equal, I'm sure someone will get a loose or bent handle after this but thats the risk we take for the no scrub method.
Only cook on coals. There will be zero soot. I know that that practice takes time and is not always the 'best' way to get some food in your stomach. But hey.
Thank you for the tip. I will try this method next time. However I would like to disagree with you about Einstein and googling. You make it sound that he only had a piece of paper, pencil and his imagination. He definitely had access to books, notes, libraries, scientific journals etc and "googled" that stack of data with methods of his time. We should thank math, science and all that other boring stuff for the opportunity to use these pots and pans made of this amazing material called titanium.
We frequent the same camp sites often, one of them is by a creek. My favorite pot cleaning method is to put everything in the creek and let fish and crawdads clean the pans. Always spotless by morning! My friend's wife was horrified and disgusted, we just laughed.
