Bush Pot steaming away on Imberlit (USA) wood burning stove. A single deadfall branch, about thumb diameter, provides all the fuel needed for a near smokeless fire. Bush Pot / Billy is an eight cup, (2 quart) anodized aluminum pot with bail and handles. The bail and handles (steel) stay cool enough for bare hands when using the Imberlit stove, aluminum lid is usefully tight, stays on if you drop the pot. This billy-can is patterned after one favored by Canadian Bush-Crafter Mors Kochanski, and is made in USA.
My Imberlit stove is stainless steel, but it is available in titanium. I don't eschew all light-weight gear, cook kit contains a pair of Light My Fire Titanium Sporks. Backpack kit is Bush-Craft oriented instead of ultra-light.
Ultra-light enthusiasts please avert your eyes...
