The OP was looking for one a good bit smaller than is typical for home use. Happy trails, Gary (net.yogi.bear) at the 51st percentile of ursine intelligence Gary D. Schwartz, Needham, MA, USA Please reply to: garyDOTschwartzATpoboxDOTcom

It’s not weight, it’s size: things are jammed in the car as it is. I’d hoped that outdoor stores might have smaller/more portable things; the stuff I’ve seen in department/discount stores have tended to be standard-sized kitchen stove stuff. — to respond, change "spamless.invalid" to "optonline.net" Please post replies, unless they are off-topic.

There is one available for the meths-burning Trangia stove. I think it will be available as a spare from them directly or through their dealers. I use one all the time! — Mick Olde Nascom Computers – http://www.mixtel.co.uk

Noticed while I was at Walmart that they also have small 1 liter kettles for $10. Stainless steel, copper bottom.

A couple of thoughts — * the old soup can works (you can use one from home, and to serve double duty, perhaps it is a utensil holder in your cook area out in your campsite) * get a cheap mess kit and use the covered pot as a water boiler * search Campor and REI and EMS (and any other on-line stores) for "kettle" or "pot". I found a few items that would work for you…. On the Campmor site MSR has a .85 liter covered kettle (search by word "kettle") but it is expensive, $40 Better yet, search at REI for "kettle". You’ll get 2 hits for 1 liter or less for under $15.00: http://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?stat=7889&langId=-1&storeId=80… Query=kettle Good luck!!! Enjoy the trip! — Marty S. Baltimore, MD USA

Personally I use a large juice can for boiling water. Disposable at the end of a trip. But I have found the ad for the volcano kettle fascinating! http://www.y2k-millennium-supplies.co.uk/wood_burn/kelly/kelly.html Joan

Why are you checking outdoor shops for cooking equipment? There must be heaps of department, discount, and specialty shops that have teakettles. If it’s a weight thing, my mother used to have a very light aluminum teapot that held about a quart or less that she got from a regular store. — rbc: Vixen Mostly Harmless. http://www.visi.com/~cyli

If only I could find one that small… thus the problem. — to respond, change "spamless.invalid" to "optonline.net" Please post replies, unless they are off-topic.

Check out yard sales and flea markets – you can usually find a small percolator (usually missing the guts) for about $.50. I have several that are about a pint to a quart in size.

Most outdoor shops have a good selection of sizes and materials. For winter use with hot drinks and freeze dried food, and no real cooking, a kettle is much easier and more efficient to deal with.

I’ve been to several local camping stores, and looked through the Campmor catalog, but didn’t see anything–none had small kettles (the closes was a percolator)–so I was hoping someone might be familiar with brands/retailers for kettles (again, no more than a quart). — to respond, change "spamless.invalid" to "optonline.net" Please post replies, unless they are off-topic.
