I was looking at some antique kettles today at a flea market and wondered how they'd do over a fire. Brass and copper seem to be the most common but what are they like for brewing up with, presuming they're cleaned first of course.

No reason why they wouldn't be fit for the job.... be a bugger to keep clean though

Don't think I'll be getting the Brasso out after a trip
Going for peanuts they were, wish I'd picked one up now.

I believe the old copper and brass kettles were tinned on the inside,so if its still well covered inside i cant see it being a problem.

I prefer to buy stainless steel teapots from charity shops, i've got ones to do one cupish, up to 8 pints !, god for curries, chillies, pasta, and easy to clean.

But if you use over the embers rather than the flames they do stay nice and clean, though the blackening does promote better heat absorption.
