✅ How do you boil a kettle when camping?
The old fashioned traditional method of boiling water when you’re camping is to simply boil water over an open fire. You need to make sure there is a steady base for the kettle (or pan etc..) to sit on and isn’t going to topple over, and your water doesn’t take long to boil at all.
Many campers, especially if you camp regularly, have a hot plate or gas ring that they use for boiling water. A lot of camp sites no longer allow you to have an open fire, and prefer you to have a safer heat source.
✅ What is the fastest boiling kettle?
The kettles that have the widest bases are the ones that will boil your water fastest, simply because there’s a bigger area that sits directly on the heat source. The Sweet&rro17 kettle has a threaded base which allows for better heat distribution, but all of these kettles are pretty speedy at boiling the water.
✅ Can you boil water over charcoal?
Yes, you can boil water over pretty much any direct heat source as ling as your kettle is suitable to be placed on it. A kettle made for camping or any outdoor use will give you the specifications and you’ll know if it’s suitable for an open charcoal fire.
