Hey Cap,
I sold him the brass - tin linned pot made by GBW, so if it's OK I'll answer your question.
Bottom - 5" in dia.
Top - 5-3/4" w/a 1/4" rolled edge.
Depth - 3-1/2" bottom to top of rolled edge.
Iron hand forged bail, riveted ears for bail.
Weight - 20.4 oz.
I use a tin cover w/a tab loop ring for removal, Turtle does not use a lid, last time out with him he used a small flat rock. Being brass they seem to heat at a fast rate and do hold the heat for a period (better than tin). You have enough room to feed 3-4 men along with "bannock' bread filler. Hope this answers your question, have Turtle's butt busy doing some work on new catalog.
Later,
Buck Conner

Probably a skunk. Wanted a free meal out of the doggie bowl and the dog
wasn't going to be a gracious dinner host.
(Here begins my essay on badger skinning as a slight diversion)
Not everyone knows that badger also have powerful musk glands. I ran one
over on a bridge in South Texas once and decided I wanted the prime pelt to
give to Thunder Mountain, another buckskinner. I smelled the acrid musk
right away, but resolved to barricade the smell by sealing the corpse in a
garbage bag. That measure was insufficient, so I sealed that bag in another
garbage bag - and drove at unabated speed with the windows up.
Even I knew not to take the hide off at the house, so I stopped on the side
of a deserted road and sent the wife to the house for the skinnin' knife. I
skinned that creature and repeated the double bag procedure for the green
hide. Plopped that double sealed coffin into the freezer to inert the
smell.
My nose glands must have been numbed by that time as the wife meticulously
stayed in the exact opposite recesses of the house. So I scrubbed my hands
like a surgeon, and applied liberal doses of some out-of- fashion cologne.
The next morning, the wife continued to distance herself, so I repeated the
surgeon scrub and abolutions of the Brut cologne.
I had to go to work, but I had a desk job, and when anyone came in the
office, I kept my hands remotely tucked under the desk. Nevertheless, I got
some very strange looks that day and everyone concluded their business with
haste.
My friend Thunder Mountain was gracious in accepting the hide, but I fear
his wife wasn't nearly as enthusiastic.
A few months later, on my way home from work, I glanced to the side of the
road to see a road-kill badger. After a precipitous U-turn, I determined
that the remains were indeed recent, probably not more than a few hours
deceased. Well one badger hide is scant supply to complete the smallest
project, so I determined to collect another peeyew plew. Only this time, I
resolved that the benefactor of this leathern bounty should share in the
skinning duties. So I called Thunder Mountain and asked him to meet me at
the same spot on the deserted road - the skinnin' field. I got the
necessary supplies and when he arrived, I was setting on the "back of the
wagon" with a full bottle of whisky and two glasses. Thunder Mountain then
asked "What is the whisky for?" I replied, you must not have ever skinned a
badger before - Everyone who has knows you don't skin a badger if you are
sober!

Caught! Your Honour, I plead guilty with an explanation. I DID read the
instructions, but I decided to ignore them. You see, on another list that I
belong to, every six months or so someone sends out a questionnaire similar
to Matt's, and it seems that most people enjoy reading the answers &
learning a little more about each other. (Of course, you folks probably
noticed that I didn't post my answers to the questions about age, race,
income, etc. That's "too much information"!) But if Dean Rudy or list
members feel this isn't an appropriate topic for the Mtn-Man list, I
apologize sincerely for the inconvenience.
Your very humble & most obedient servant,
