A highly efficient Stainless Steel Outdoor camp Kettle (the fire base is also stainless steel) which is suitable for Campers, Trekkers, Hikers, Kayakers, Backpackers, Bikers and all outdoors enthusiasts who need to keep their pack light. Also suitable for Car Camping and Wilderness Survival Kits / Disaster Kits. This lightweight kettle fits neatly into a Rucksack or Backpack.
As there is no need to carry fuel these kettles will keep your pack light and save you money at the same time – never worry about running out of fuel again Using any naturally occurring solid fuel (sticks, pine cones etc.) this kettle will operate perfectly well even in a storm and will bring 2 Mugs of water to a rolling boil within a matter of minutes.
If more hot water is required (this kettle will easily boil water quickly for a party of 4-6 people) simply refill the kettle and place it back on the fire base and refuel the chimney again. The kettle will be boiled again within a matter of minutes where water can be used for more hot drinks boil-in-the-bag bathing washing up etc. A wonderful piece of camping equipment.
It has been designed to boil water extremely fast in all weather conditions using very little fuel. When filled with water the Stainless Steel Kettles should always be carried upright. If filled with water and carried on their sides or upside down leakage can sometimes occur from the chimney top which is not always perfectly watertight. If for whatever reason you need to carry water with the kettle on its side or upside down then please choose the Aluminium models which are easily sealed at the chimney top due to the softer metal.
