Which size Zebra pot do you use?

**pteron** · 31-05-2006, 11:35

I've just won a Zebra pot on Ebay and whilst I thought I won a 10cm, I was sent a 12cm!

Rather than send it back, I'm wondering if I should just buy a 10cm as well....

After all, it is kit and you can never have too much of that!

i used to use a 16 and a 10.. but since i got my kelly kettle the 10 hasnt seen much use.

the 10 is really very small, though that may have been what you were looking for.

I use a 12cm one. Having seen the 10cm one next to it, it looks like the 10cm one is for action man. If I were you, I wouldn't be disappointed.

i've got a 10 and a 14. and to be honest the 14 sees the most use. it seems to boils faster too, probably due to the larger surface area.

12 and 16 over here. I use the 16 the most but on my own the 12. I havn't got a 10 but I'd imagine it'd be perfect for boiling rice for 2 or noodles for 1

I use a 10 cm and a 12cm and for me they are fine you can feed two people out of them BUt i'd preffer a 16 for that

I use a 14, generally as I'm either feeding two or boiling water for a group.

If you're a real bushcraft adept then you can just hold the water in your hands and boil it over the fire.

I use the 12 m'self.

I moved on from a 10 to a 12cm one. Didn't regret a minute.

**leon-1** · 31-05-2006, 18:01

I have both a 10 and a 14cm. The 10cm is okay for a brew, but you could not do massive amounts with it.

The 14cm I find is far more effective and the steamer tray can be use as a bowl

**pteron** · 31-05-2006, 21:41

Thanks everyone, I'm now really pleased that they accidentally sent me the 12cm!

I may even need a 16cm for when I take others out and about

I use whatever my buddy is carrying

Sounds about right

I'll be using the one I've had on order for over two months - grump

**tedw** · 01-06-2006, 10:14

If you still want a 10cm billy, I've got one you could have. It's the Zebra and never used - I bought it to supplement another pot, but have never needed it. That's the trouble when you're a kit freak!!!

Anyway, PM me if you're interested and we'll agree a price.

Regards,

That’s very kind of you, but I’ve paid for mine already

No problem, it's now been sold!

**Jon Mawer** · 02-06-2006, 20:08

I got a 10, and its ok for 1,but is a little on the small side. I'm going to get a 12, just because I think the 10 is slighty too small for 2 or a hungry lone hiker (like me!)

**nickg** · 03-06-2006, 10:12

I have a 10 and a 16, basically the 10 is a bit too small ad the 16 is a bit too big so stick with what you have and look for a deal on a 14 in the future

**Wayland** · 03-06-2006, 11:00

I use two 12cm ones for my general kit and a 10cm one for my light weight kit.

To lighten it I've removed the handle and replaced it with a braided wire bail.

I've also replaced the lid with an aluminium one from an old pan set.

**ScanDgrind** · 04-06-2006, 15:30

I've got a 10 and a 14. The 14 gets the most use as it's big enough for two and seems to boil much quicker. Used to use the 10 when I went out on my own but now I just cook in my crusader mug and the 10 gets left at home.
