Quick tea maker that's safe for use in mpv boot?

[Paul_B]

I'm just thinking that it's nicer to make fresh tea/coffee than using a steel vacuum flask. I'm thinking that my car has a dry area when you open the boot that I could set up a stove. I'm just concerned about the combustion products. Is it safe to have say a gas stove burning away in a car boot if it's open?

Is there a car safe stove around? I'm thinking a permanent or removable stove unit, kind of like a campervan unit. Or KISS principal with an integrated stove/pot system like the eta range from primus (in remote can format).

Any suggestions?

Although I wouldn't recommend it for safety reason I have cooked on one, not in the boot but as good as, all back seats taken out of the car whn I was living out of it for work ( I'm not paying digs money )

I've used one of these, think i paid a tenner for it http://www.halfords.com/camping-leisure/camping/camping-cooking-equipment/halfords-portable-gas-stove had it next to me, on the seat in a luton van, whilst on delivery's around the uk.
I used to keep the passenger window open, when the kettle was boiling all the windows in the cab used to steam up.
Gas cartridges are cheap to, around a £1 each. or bulk buy even cheaper

For a quick brew or simply heating up something like a can of soup or rat-pack then one the aerosol can compact stoves as suggested by crossandkelly should be fine. However these stoves do have something of a bad reputation that led to the Australian office of fair trade pulling several apart for tests and subsequently banning many models from sale.

Any cartridge gas stove would be fine. Myself, I use an alcohol stove, home made. Works well and cost nothing. Just don't stick your head directly over the stove for any length of time, and make sure it is well ventilated. You could easi;y do it insode the car provided you have windows cracked open on both sides to ensure good ventilation.

They're good when it's warm but if you want a cuppa in the winter then you need something that burns propane or a butane/propane mix

If you just want to make a cuppa in your car, why not just get a 12v travel kettle? They're not awesome but it'll do exactly what you want, use no fuel, make no mess and not complain about being stored for extended periods.
