Wise to store tools in mini non-wooden shed/keeping yourself refreshed

Oh, they are most impressive Samuel. I've seen them used, and the fuel efficiency is amazing. Virtually all the heat goes into the water, that's the secret. Invented by a Traveller, so I believe. Whoever he was, he was damned clever. They work in any weather, and you can even cook with a pan on top.
If the National Grid ever fails, I hope I have a Kelly Kettle !

I looked at that twig kettle - does it actually boil a nice brew burning only a few twigs

I few twigs, say a handful. I keep a stash of lavender & bramble prunings, nice and woody, in the shed.
Plus a few balls of dry newspaper to get it started.
It takes about 5-10 mins for the water to boil ~ I find that it works better & quicker if I blow in the hole a few times to get the flames going, rather than relying on the wind to do it

Our household kettle cost £50, just because I wanted it in green rather than the more common red or blue!
