Kettle

[Squash Muppet]

Hi all!

I know this sounds bizarre but does anyone know of a type of kettle that runs on a battery? Or recommend a tiny type of paraffin stove? I have heard of flasks () but I find the water doesn't stay hot all day, or runs out. Actual fire-lighting on our plots is frowned upon slightly as there are designated areas to burn non-compostable waste so I can't really boil water over a big open fire.

Any help / suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers and all best

Kelly kettles are great too, very efficient, but might be a bit bulky for what you want.

Sorry, pure muppetry.

I never thought about a little camping stove! I thought the Kelly Kettles looked interesting - I had a look at their website. I can't look at the Argos site until later as my employer bans most 'shopping' sites. Ah well.

Thanks for the info both.

Best

Just happened to have Argos book handy - stove mentioned is £18.99, gas cylinders £8.99 for 4. Looks really sturdy.

can highly recomend this, but we got ours from a camping shop about a fiver cheaper that argos and the cannisters were a much better buy from there, make sure you get a whistling kettle so you dont forget about it and burn your shed down!!!!

Oooh! Thanks so much for that Flutterby. I might be able to get one over the weekend - see if I can afford it! I'll have the old guys on my site coming round for a cup of tea yet!

Thanks again.

Thank for asking this question, I want one too.
as usual, you can get it cheaper on eBay:

Hi!

Thanks for that tip Hans Mum! I can just see me doing that - getting stuck in to my digging forgetting all about the boiling kettle

Will have a look on ebay later and also thought I might try my local freecycle site too.


Cheers all.

Blessed be

Try your local camping shop, or Aldi, Liddle, QD etc. Tesco did little tiny one ring camping gas thingys last year - just make sure you can get the replacement cartridges.

Halfords also do camping gear, quite reasonably priced too!

We have camping stoves as we do usually go camping for our hols, but usually just take a big stainless steel flask down to the plot, if you prewarm it before filling, and keep it somewhere not too cold it will keep drinks hot enough for about 6 hours!

hi my kids bought me a jamie oliver portable cooker for christmas really useful on the lottie tea and bacon butties on a sunday morning great gas canisters are cheaper at wilkonsons

Can anyone think of an eco-friendlier way? I'm not really happy with gas canisters for landfill reasons...and can't make a camp-fire!

[buttercup]

maybe an old spirit kettle!
no gas canisters no fire no batteries!
someone should invent a solar powerd teas made!
cheers buttercup x

Hi, there is a kettle thing in a catalogue called Hawkins Bazaar. It has a little space in the bottom that you can put burning stuff in. It's meant to heat up water fast and apparently is an old idea that has been revived. Don't know if it's the same as a kelly kettle (never heard of 'em). but might be worth a gander.
