Fire-Maple Antarcti Portable 1 Liter Lightweight Stainless Steel Camping Kettle | Durable and Portable Camp Tea Pot | Ideal for Bushcraft and Outdoor Campfire Use

Why am I being asked to rate how lightweight this thing is? I chose this kettle because it ISN'T lightweight!!!I bought this kettle because it has the MOST weight and is GOING TO LAST the longest. It's certifiably BIFL! I mostly use it on my stove at home and absolutely love it. It is so shiny and clean and makes hot water fast! There is no rusting inside and NO PLASTIC. This, in my opinion, is the very best kettle that anyone can buy anywhere. It will keep your water pure and untainted with any taste or chemical.I appreciate the high quality Fire Maple delivers in this lifetime-quality kettle. I tell my family and friends about it. It is so beautifully crafted that it becomes a conversation piece when I have visitors. A full stainless-steel anything is a rare and wonderful treasure to have.I am so pleased to have been able to even buy such a great quality kettle. I looked for a long time (weeks or months) to find this special kettle. It is stainless steel all around, it has a wide lid for easy cleaning. This is the kettle I've always wanted! I need to set a timer so that I don't forget I'm boiling water, since it does not squeal when the steam comes out. It's just as well! It's a simple design and will probably last forever. I'm sure it will outlive me!If you like to boil water, just get it. If you want a cheap thing that's a little lighter for camping, go for it, -- but for me?--- I prefer a heavy-duty thing that's not going to fail. I hate aluminum cookware because aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's! Think about it! Steel is 1000% better! Isn't the extra weight worth your health?I bought this for camping. I carry it in, and I'm happy with it. It is easier to boil water with a heavy-duty steel kettle with a proper lid and re-hydrate my instant freeze-dried foods in their pouches than carrying around a pot and bowls and all that stuff. I know that stuff is expensive, but you can go way cheaper if you pack instant hot cereal/even regular oats or instant rice+beans and use a container with a lid to let it re-hydrate in. The kettle is about all I need.No other kettle can match this one. I looked really hard! I think the closed design with the spout is the best because when I see the steam and hear it boiling, I know it's ready to cook with, sans bugs or ash or whatever from the environment, and I don't need to keep opening the lid to check if it's boiling yet. It's clear to see!Also, I noticed that if I boil a lot of water, the handle can get a little hot, but if it's only enough for a cup of tea, it stays cool enough that I can pick it up without any issue. If I take it out, I'll take a little cotton rag with me, in case I'll need it.

I bought this as part of a small coffee kit for camping. Couldn't be more pleased with it. It holds plenty of water for a big cup of coffee, and heats up well on a camp stove. I can also verify it works well on an induction burner. Overall it's a perfect tool for the job, so I really can't complain.

I’ve been looking for a travel kettle to make tea or hot water for oatmeal for the both of us. I wanted it small, portable, durable kettle to put on my MSR Whisperlight stove, or over a campfire. The GSI Kettalist has a better price point, but their flat metal bar stock handle looked cheap, a deal breaker.This 1.1 quart Fire Maple kettle fits all my needs. I was hesitant about the price, it seemed pretty steep. Once in my hand I feel the price was worth the high quality and attention to detail. It comes in a nice carry sack. The 1.1 Fire Maple ketyle heats up quickly on our electric range. The rear of the bail drops down to hold firm the back side of cover; a very nice upgrade. This kettle pours out smoothly without spills. This is a solid durable kettle that will survive my campfire cooking needs. A modified whiskey cork makes a nice transport stopper.Another review reports the handle gets hot. I’ve been boiling water for tea and can report the handle does NOT get hot. It gets warm. They must be boiling water for an half hour or longer to get it that hot. Which makes no sense. Its a small kettle. lolWife loves it and says it's the cutest thing ever. She’s happy, I’m happy. And you’ll be happy with this awesome little kettle. Just buy it.

I'm impressed with the Fire-Maple company. Shortly after purchasing my 1L Fire-Maple Antarctic tea ketle, the lid slipped into a tiny slot in my camper van and disappeared beyond reach. I contacted Fire-Maple and asked if they'd please send me another lid. Instead, they sent me a new replacement kettle with lid. Such kindness!This is the best camping tea kettle I've ever owned. It's well made--strong; sturdy; with details including a handle that can lock upright during use or lie flat for saving space; the handles hold the lid in place during use; the lid is easily removed when hot; & the spout is designed to pour fast or slow without dripping (it has a well-controlled slow pour into a V-60 coffee cone). I have arthritis, and apppreciate that it's lightweight and easy to grasp and use. It's also easy to towel dry the inside after use, and it stores compactly (but I hang mine on a hook).I'm a van dweller and use this kettle daily to heat water. It heats fast thus conserving fuel. And, it's well-designed to go from conventional cooktop to camp stove to firepit. I will be puchasing all of my camping cookware from Fire-Maple. They're quality products and good folks.P.S. a handy tip: a mason jar lid fits perfectly as a replacement lid for the kettle if needed :)

This thing is solid. Will definitely boil water and survive abuse. Did not come with waxed canvas bag however. And it's kinda noisy everything being stainless steel. Gonna have to be careful if you're trying not to wake someone up. Should last damn near forever though, and that's the idea.
