Inspired by AndyBB's 'Kettles ... why' thread I thought it might be interesting to see some pics of kettles in use on your trips and travels. It doesn't necessarily need to be on a wood fire, just in use and out and about ... and please feel free to mention the marque(s) and model(s) ;) .





Definitely not carry friendly ...
Camping Gaz 1.3L (ish) kettle.
Kettle / Pot stand made by Weather Vanes Online (Not available at this time on their website, nice chap to talk to).
Pie Iron was a bit of an experiment ~ in hindsight I should have bought the twin version :D


So, whotcha got?

Flat bottomed copper kettle bought on Skye last year in a huge house full of old stuff to buy. Was under a tenner, not bashed about or soldiered, heats well and pours with great accuracy (would be great for Arabic tea and coffee). It's sitting on my frontier stove in my Tipi up at Comrie Croft. You see a lot of kettles about in copper, though many are so pricy and mangled that you tend to stay away from them. Wouldn't carry it about (smaller kettles for that) but at a base camp/glamp they're great for moral having hot water on the go all the time. (And there's never the "but the pots dirty I can't make a cuppa" with a kettle. Cheers GB.

It was more a matter of keeping the fire going.
Like anything when in the woods it's cooked when its cooked.
 
Pic was taken by Turbogirl at one of the Northwood meets.
Someone suggested we try boiling the kettle this way as a trail, it worked but not the most efficient use of fuel.
 
Phil, look what you've started.........:lmao::lmao:

I don't take the orange one on trips though - too slow and heavy :). The little aluminium kettle is the real business, I love it and it has a filter you can put in the top so I can use real leaf tea :cool:
Edit; it's Tesco's, for a fiver :). the oragne job is posh Le Creuset! T'other is me billycan.
