If the water is on the outside, then wouldn't that make it impossible to pick up (after boiling) without thick gloves on or somthing. The outside is exposed metal, so what's the deal there???
The water is in a jacket around the outside of the 'burning chamber'.
The boiling point of water is not as hot as the flames inside, so it's safer, more efficient and just plain sensible to have the fire on the inside and feed it through the base or through the spout.
If you had a big chamber of water in the middle it would take ages to heat up and the outer skin would get red hot.
@1dschamp The kettle has a handle on the outside, you can see it at 0:17, on the left hand side. You hold the handle with both hands at a 90 degree angle and remove it from the fire base and then you use the cork attached to the metal chain to help pour. It works great.
Glad you showed us the 'idiots' way to light it first!
looking forward to the 'safe' way video.

That's 'the deal', genius.
