I had one of these, didn't get on with it, so sold it on here.

I think it was Topknot who put the butterfly handles on a zebra billy, now that's something I'd like.

Best pot I've got is the 1.6L Tatonka Stainless kettle... (no idea why they call it a kettle?) I keep it in my car with a small stainless kettle (tea type) nested in it, a pot grabber and a folding cutlery set.... all in a small stuff sack.
It's the perfect size for fishing and over night cooking. Along with my Crusader cup its all I need to do even a pretty elaborate meal. I hardly ever use my Zebra as its too tall ans narrow for most cooking.

cheers

Thanks for the comments. I have a kettle type of thing. I'm looking for something with a spout, bail and folding handle.

Handles on a zebra - I'd like to see that too.

Kettle. Old English cetil (Mercian), from Proto-Germanic *katilaz (compare Old Saxon ketel, Old Frisian zetel, Middle Dutch ketel, Old High German kezzil, German Kessel), probably from Latin catillus "deep pan or dish for cooking," diminutive of catinus "bowl, dish, pot." One of the few Latin loan-words in Proto-Germanic, along with *punda- "measure of weight or money" (see pound (n.1)) and a word relating to "merchant" that yielded cheap (adj.). "t is striking that all have something to do with trade" [Don Ringe, "From Proto-Indo-European to Proto-Germanic," Oxford 2006]. Spelling with a -k- (c.1300) probably is from influence of Old Norse cognate ketill. The smaller sense of "tea-kettle" is attested by 1769.

I've been caught with customs once from Toaks but never with Ali.

Thanks for the explanation Gary.. interesting... As a former language graduate I've always been interested in etymology...

It always surprises the kids I work with when I refer to my cauldron as a ketill.

Which leads me on to show them how many other Old Norse words they already know.

+1 (although I have the 1L nested in my 1.6L).

Tall, narrow pots have their place with open fires - where you can manipulate them so that the heat is coming from the side, as well as the bottom - but on stoves...well I got sick of burnt food at the bottom of the pot, whilst the top was barely warm.

I've had the Tatonka set for a few years now, and even though I've been trying to go down a more lightweight route, I can't bear to part with them. Frying pan lids too - very important, and increases the versatility of my favourite ever billy/ kettle/ marmite/ pot/ casserole... er... thingy!
