Hi everyone,
While at the Moot everyone was using one of the smallest kettles to boil their “Bru”, I would appreciate any help in finding any outlets that I could purchase this kettle.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

i never been to no moot, but just about everyone i ever knew, got a trangia kettle n loves em
Have to agree with saddle tramp and bikething, get a trangia, have had mine ages probably the most used bit of kit i have.
Ditto all the above - Trangia kettle does the job or if you want a SS one try the MSR Alpine tea pot

I have one and use it as a cook pot as well - great for draining pasta!

so beariing that in mind

I don't have the 0.6l kettle to trade, but do have a used 0.9l that is available if redandshane's one is not what you want.

I've got amongst a Trangia kettle (don't if it's a 0.6 or 0.9 ltr, but it works) and find it working fine for my needs (boiling up for either a brew, dried rations or basic cooking).
Moved this thread to Kit Chatter btw :)
Outwell do a 1.2 stainless kettle for around a tenner.

No, 2L max, and then its a more standard kettle design.

Oh well, thanks for the reply;)
I'll just keep on looking
cheers
R.B.
We bought a couple of these R.B. (on the recommendation of Red and they are great!!)
They are very well built and all metal (once you remove the silly rubber bit one the spout) and even whistle to tell you the waters boiled while you are off doing other things!:D

I have one of these and my busbuddy fits in side its light small and just the right size for a brew. Day trips ok (which is what I use it for mainly) to cook on its a bit small you need a frying pan really to add to it but it works great water comes to the boil real easy.. Not our standard kettle but hey ;)

I got this one local only they didnt have it on the web site (sorry about that) but they sell here in the netherlands for about 28 euros there a bout the same price if not a little bit cheaer than the trangia kettles and they work a treat.. I should imagine that becasue they are primus you should be able to get them at most camping outlets..
Cheers Richard, however £4.95 for postage is just wrong..........:(
Why dont you just get an Army 44 pattern steel mug,just fits in a hexy stove.I've eat,drank,washed and shaved out of one for years. (not at the same time lol )

Does anyone know where I can get one of these nowadays? Can't find any on the web that aren't BCUK links.
The Range has them in along with Yeomans in York fella.

Neither has them on the website Nat, but thanks for your efforts.
Dougster, I'm passing The Range in a couple of hours...if you like I could pick you one up and post it on .
Simon
They don't have them on the website, but they have them instore. The Range down the road from me has/had them in a couple of weeks ago. Also Army Navy store in york has them aswell.
...totally failed to find a proper cast iron kettle...
If you want a proper cast iron kettle try some of the places that sell wood burning stoves.
...do they do BIG ones?
Like 4 or 5 pint camp kettle type things...
I have one of these (http://thecookskitchen.com/browse_2486.) for the wood burning stove, the 2.9 litre one. Any use?

I got a zebra kettle from them a while ago, 'shop soiled' (someone had taken the stickers off). Initially they sent me the wrong one. I contacted them and they said keep it, and we'll send you the right one. Two zebra kettles for the price of one !
No joy at The Range in Blackburn...

Grab one for me Nat if you can and I'll buzz you the cash over.
I did a group buy for these a while ago and sold the one I was going to keep for myself :11doh:
I have a Primus LiTech kettle, hard anodised and works a treat on a burner or a fire.. 1.5ltr
http://www.roughgear.co.uk/ImageStore/600x600/733810.jpg
I got one of those too Dave, I use it over a stove rather than a fire though, how has the plastic handle handle stood up ?
I got one of the Outwell kettles last year from our local Blacks. Don't know if they still stock them this year but may be worth a try.
I tried Yeomans in Burnley today guys...they looked on the computer & it wasn't listed anywhere.

I have one of them thar trangias, it nests neatly inside as Stainless steel MSR pot. Inside the trangia in a plastic container I have a few tea bags, and I also have room for some dairy sticks for milk, hot chocolate and stock cubes. All very convenient.
Finally getting into town tomorrow, i've got a couple of places to try, will keep you posted.

I got one from Blacks a few months back. Worth looking in there if you are passing.
Yes, i even tried Blacks.......
I use Trangia ones but spotted a similar sized one today in Tesco for £6.
