JetBoil...Ghillie Kettle...Flask or what??

[Fenland]

In preparation for the upcoming months I interested to hear what everyone is using (or would like to use) for making a warm brew/soup etc??

 

I know its horses for courses, but heard good things about the JetBoil but not sure if I want a system that relies on me having the fuel with it? But then the Kelly Kettle looks a bit cumbersome and I can see the tea breaks getting longer and longer as we stoke it up...

 

So, what is everyone using? Or shall I stick to the flasks?

Really nothing beats standard soup flask i find, obviously if time wasn't a factor id use something i have called a DK rocket stove (made locally by a blacksmith but he sells online, type it into google) which runs on twigs (dry or green), very powerful when it gets going. can cook, fry, boil, warm your hand etc. brilliant.

That looks a piece of kit

 

Would be great around the yard, but not too sure about lugging it around every day.

Spend the monney and get a jet boil I worked with a bloke who had one and it was super cool!

invest in a good quality unbreakable flask. stick your tea bags in and let it stew all day. That's what I do.

used to use a meths burner (army type) that folded down pretty small and light, then used a petrol burning stove, now we just rely of customers taking pity on us because we look scruffy and cold, even had customers neighbours bring us drinks/food:thumbup: can't beat hot soup for reviving you on a cold wet windy day

We used to use a meths type thing but Im sure I could taste it in me slop!

 

You cant beat warm food on either a sh$£ty job or in sh$£ty weather...

my vote is for a Kelly kettle but take some dry twigs/shavings etc ( best fuel birch bark), line up the spout with the burner hole and turn into the wind = fast boil. tip leave upside down to drain or the inside will corrode.

I've got all three and the flask gets most use by far.

 

The Jetboil is very cool but I only really use it when a flask isn't practical. The Kelly kettle is great for picnics or lunch breaks in the woods.

Using flask at the minute, but will be getting the standard gas stove out shortly.
