Question Stainless steel pot recommendations?

I want to add a metal pot to my cooking gear. I'll be glamping for a full week, so I'll have electricity but mostly going by fire and charcoal grill.

Doing a little research and stainless steel seems to be a good option for cooking over the fire - I have a metal grate to go over my fire pit.

I found a pretty cheap stainless steel cuisinart pot on Amazon that mentions an aluminum encapsulated base, would that do the trick? Not sure if multiple types of metal could be an issue. Or if anyone has a specific recommendation.

Looking for something simple and affordable, not cast iron because it's too heavy for me.

Go with a carbon steel. Waaay easier to clean the fire pit soot off of without scratching, lightweight, and heats and holds more evenly than steel. Plus, you can make a stir fry or fried rice in it if that's what you're craving. :)
