View Full Version : Lets see your teapots
I have and use an old antique teapot.Do not know its history or make.Do know it was given to me by a friend.It goes with me on most of my outings when a brew of tea is on the agenda-which is most every time
Here it is in conjunction with a whitebox stove

And here with a little fire

One more on another little flame.That day the earth was really soaked.

Hi,
Tea one of life's pleasures...
My favoutite is a Trangia 27K kettle that I've had for ages...
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p200/johnsnz/DSCF1977.jpg
Over an open fire
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p200/johnsnz/P1010009-5.jpg
On an Optimus 99
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p200/johnsnz/P1010008-1.jpg
Or an optimus 00
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p200/johnsnz/optimus00andkettle.jpg
It has a rich smell of the forrest as its been used over an open fire so much the soot on the base heats and it smells of Totara or Manuka... this just whets the appitite as it works it's way up towards a boil.... Good stuff
cheers
The Trangia kettle is a favourite, but just now I like the Outwell kettle and a 111T (The other kettle shown is made by Gelert)

or a GSI coffee percolator
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/rik_uk3/DSCF4102640x480.jpg
This kettle is from an alcohol stove made by Stesco

PS, nice 99 Johnboy :)
Unknown kettle...used for ages, but about to be retired as I have just bought an Outwell kettle.
This shot was taken on the edge of Windermere, camping with my kids... on Fathers day, what more could you need?

Is there really an advantage to using the kettle over just using a pot with a lid and save the weight and bulk of a kettle?
beautiful stove !! where did you find it ??
Hi Jean it was a few years ago brand new on E-bay and no one else bid
it was listed under motorcycle accessories and not under stoves
I only came across it by chance looking for some saddle bag/panniers for my bike and couldn't refuse :D

I've used a MSR Alpine kettle for years - however I just got a Outwell one like Rick suggested as its abit bigger.
For home use on the stove I've a cast iron Chinese copy of Japanise tea pot (I'd love the original but too much) - like this:

Plus I've got my Greatgran's copper kettle - it was one of her wedding present so is over 100 years old.

I've been meaning to get a pot for a LONG time, well just had a quick look on amazon and got one of these for £6.99.

my apologies for thread side step as well just hope it's a bushcrafty enough reply :)
They've always been lovingly referred to as Borde bombs being full of petrol and red-hot with no pressure relief but after dozens of firings I've had no problems. my tips :- I use Panel Wipe as fuel, 3/4 fill the stove to allow for air expansion to pressurize it ,or at least open it then close before each use to allow some air in.
I screw open the star burner plate, which is threaded at the top and has a point at the other end which fits into a jet hole on the pipe coil, tip the stove till fuel comes out then screw it back shut then heat the coil pipe and burner plate with a cooks gas blow torch. I use one of these to prime light all my stoves. Photo of blowtorch in front of Coleman 1946 petrol stove again running on panel wipe
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j274/QDanT/TopWithensbrewup.jpg
The cooks torch has a windproof turbo jet flame lights with a click of the button and burns at any angle and is good for Creme Brulee. After 10 to 15 seconds I screw open the burner plate a little to see if the fuel is burning as a gas under pressure and keep the torch on until it is, then adjust the flame to a steady blue with the hooked silver adjusting rod.

The stove is sensitive to wind but the pan support acts as a wind shield
all in all one of my favorite stoves

Mines an eagle products kettle ,
I liked mine too, until one of the bails lost it's attachment to the pot. I'll either get someone to re-weld it, or drill a hole and rivet.

Nice Coleman 530.... They do chuck out a bit of heat....chuff all control though it's either on or off
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p200/johnsnz/DSCF2108.jpg
I'd like a Borde but they seem a bit of a faff to use TBH... Is your windscreen the original one??? I thought they had castellation on the edge??
Now what's this one.....
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p200/johnsnz/DSCF2246.jpg
Hi Johnboy the stove was BNIB and thats the windshield/pot support it came with. Now whats this one ?????????????????????? Go on any clues. Is it on Panel Wipe :confused:
cheers Danny

Yep Petrol / panel wipe.... Sort of related to to the 530...
OK is it a Military Coleman M-1942 :D

Here's a collection from a recent canoe trip. Mine's the one on the left - I think it's a Zebra "tiffin can", basically a billy can and lid (not shown) with a handle and a spout. Very versatile

That's the Zebra kettle, the tiffin set (also made by them) is a stacking set of stainless bowls with a clamp that holds the lot together. I have both, how sad is that?

Its a Swan cast iron 6 pint model Martin,
Sadly your best option is a Tardis followed by antique shops these days.
I developed a love of old cast iron many years ago...these days kettles particularly are a horrible price...mine is well battered with a reapired lid. A mint one would go for £60 -£100 I suspect
Looks nice on my "gypsy" tripod though :) Keeps hot all day tucked on the back of the Esse too - none of that "waiting for the kettle to boil" malarky!

Thought as much:rolleyes: Never mind, will just have to keep my eyes open.
Thanks for the info:)
Bought a few of these as they were so cute.
Planned to sell a few on the 'net, but never found out much about them, so gave a lot away last Xmas as gifts
Brilliant little design, has a built in filter so you can use loose leaf: for a better brew!!
Got about 4 more in other colours that I may move on shortly...

Just after I lit it and then put it on the patio.
I like it, only 800ml so it boils quick and packs away small.
Great kettle
