Kettles to hang over a fire

[littlebiglane]

Anyone know where I can get a half decent kettle to hang over my camp fire?

I just use a 1.5L Tatonka stainless tea pot that I picked up from Tamarack, I was a bit worried about the rubber on the handles burning but so far I've had no problem.

One which can hold loads and be left to boil over the fire for various camp duties.

I'm also looking for a 'camp kettle' - though I'd like one that is around 3 litres and has a whistle so I know when it is boiling all over the fire! - it will be used on a grid so no need to be hangable

I have been looking for years with no luck and beginning to think it is a 'holy grail' - can anyone prove me wrong?

Hmm not sure about 3 litres - can do 2 litres

 

[g4ghb]

hmmmm - whats your 2l one then Hugh - to be honest I was plucking a number out the air really - 2 may be ok....

Just a simple kettle - Works well on the cooker, range or fire. 18/10 steel (all steel including the whistle). Good heavy base and a nice whistle.

Found it in a local cookshop but I have seen them in several places around the £25 - £30 mark

This hasn't got a whistle but like it says in the ad, It will last you a life time!

A good clean Galvanized bucket works wonders, especially if you can get a lid.

I am sure there is a bigger version of this kettle, I have been trying to find one ever since uncle Ray was using on on the Wild Food series.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where they can be bought, I have tried asking Blacks, but got the "no idea" answer.

http://www.outwell.de/ is the manufacturers website.

Largest kettle they do is 2L, which is a different design.

Perhaps it was from someone else.

Galvanized bucket holds 10ltrs and costs about a fiver, can leave it on the fire all day and have all the hot water you need for everthing apart from hot drinks...

....and have all the hot water you need for everthing apart from hot drinks...

isn't that missing the point of a kettle???
