[FatDaddy4Fun]

Leif, I should have known you already had this kettle. lol. I am still researching. I had the same concern about the rubber melting. Glad I found your video. I think I will go with the same mods, if I get the little pot. Hope you don't think I am immitating you on everything, but damn boy...you have some great ideas! Hahahaaa! Axe, saw, cookware...lol. It's the price you pay for being great, Leif. lol. Thanks again. ~Wolf

Nice review.. What's the weight of it and how does it compared to the stainless steel one? Which one would you prefer?

[Bravo21]

The Kettle is a good piece of kit. I used mine on a 5 week canoe trip this summer (Minn and Ontario) and was very pleased with the performance. I used either an alcohol or wood burning stove (They are both homade...a 'Penny' stove from 24oz Hine cans, the wood stove is built from a new quart paint can..so I dont have the problem with the handel. Do what you need to, to make it function properly in your kit.

that lid problem is a defect

[playdrums]

dosen't theat coat hanger get bent when you put it in you pack? i mean thats a good 3 inches of extra weight and wire to get bent.

[SkogKniv]

Weight? the hanger wire is lighter than the original handle. Also the handle folds flat on the wall inside the pack.

[playdrums]

ok.

@SkogKniv Be forgiving, he's a drummer.

i did this to my coleman exponant mess pot after watching ur video....it works real well too. u can see it in my vid. thanks Skogniv

[reasoning777]

Neat and tidy kettle, good mod's. I recognised that a coat-hanger was providing the handle, those wire cheap-o hangers get up to all sorts of uses and applications not just a replacement car radio AE !. 5X5 let's hear it for the humble cheep wire hanger !! : =))

What's it made of?  Aluminum?

[nedeljkomostar]

That is a nice kettle and smart modifications. 5/5

[TheRedHawk123]

Great Kettle, now I want one of those, I'm just using a standard Mess Pot at the moment.

5/5

[YGTFsurvival]

cool modification

i will do it to my kettel

[WorldStove]

nice low cost but well thought out mods!

[bushmag]

nice modification man:)

[1OldSchool4]

Thanks for the mods. I have one of these and the orange coating melted mostly off tonight. A piece had fell and melted to the kettle. After it cooled it scraped off easily. So now I'm going to bend out the wire holders and put a bigger piece on it as you did. This is and awesome piece of kit and these mods will only make it better. Thanks

[XDM50]

Smart modification.

Thanks for sharing.

5 STARS

[QuitePatriot]

Great Modification!

[RDPproject]

I would love to get one but have other priorities at the moment....also, dont know of anyone who stocks them here in Brisbane.

[hobbexp]

nice, but how is it fit in your bag with that long handle?

[SkogKniv]

I think you miss how small that kettle it Fredde. The handle is not as big as you think it is.

[hobbexp]

yeah i know, i have 2 of that model, :0)

[SkogKniv]

Then you know the handle is not much of an issue. The kettle goes into the pack on its side, the handle laying flat to the wall of the inside, well out of the way.

[hobbexp]

i put my down on its side to,

yeah yeahh i dont really think this is a big problem, hehehe,, as long it fit in the backpack, :0) i have a kittle i have use so much so the handle have rust a way, maybe i do the same you did on yours,

[MrVoiceofreason123]

@SkogKniv I bought an MSR 1.1L stowaway pot instead of this one at my local store, but after one trip I'm wishing I bought the kettle. The pots were the same price so its not like I lost alot of money, but now I have to wait a while before I can get this kettle. I guess that's how you learn though, sometimes you buy kit you don't like.

[Odaon]

That kettle looks great. How much are they? I'll have to pick one up. Thanks!

[SkogKniv]

I got mine at Eastern Mountain Sports for like 20 bucks.
