billytheghillie Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Was out today looking to shoot pigeons but no such luck. I took my Brukit with me and within 2 mins 23 secs had a lovely piping hot cup of coffee. To be honest i had forgotten i had this great little stove. Anybody who is sick of tepid tea/coffee out a thermos should seriously consider one of these, at £50 its a great buy and now permanently lives in boot of the car. Just google Alpkit and the info is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than the Alpkit, no question, particularly at keeping a flame even in very windy conditions - but it costs a bomb. Is it more than twice as good as the Alpkit to justify the £125? No chance! If I needed another, I'd go for the Alpkit over any of the others, including the Jetboils.

Centrepin Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Kelly kettle for me. If I need to cook I lift the kettle off put an old bbq grill over and a pan on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Coleman stove for me . Basically the same idea but I prefer this as the gas bottle is on a lead to the side making it more stable I also like my hobo stove it's light and simple and I can burn twigs on it also . Gonna replace the aluminium pot with a titanium cup when funds allow . I use these when back packing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but can you make good proper coffee in it , not that pathetic instant garbage. I remember being high up in the Wyoming Rockeis and our self appointed Chef for the hunting trip had forgotten the filter in the top of the perculator. An Aussie Dr who was hunting with us just threw a large handful of coarse ground coffee in the pot and poured on boiling water. "There you go, it'll do your guts good", he said and it was fantastic coffee. I have seen those Kelly Kettles but never tried one, always have drained my flask of strength 6 before it goes tepid.

Tonka54 Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 For me it's the Trangia cook set, Can't fault it, Runs on de-natured alcohol, Meths or gel fuel. It's near bulletproof, goes anywhere and cheap to run. Anything wears out or gets misplaced is replaceable, so no need to purchase the whole system again.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just donated a brand new one with alloy bottle and pouch to a private Airborne museum. After accepting they valued it and offered it back due to high value. It seemed mean to take it back so I left it. Still have an old used one somewhere and a hexy burner. The hexy burner used to fit in a small pocket at the back of the 44 patt pouch.

Yes I can, if I take the cafetiere along with me, it only provides the hot water and heat source to heat more water above the chimney on the rack I have.

Raja Clavata Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I use a jetboil when fishing for making tea and a conventional gas stove for cooking. I also now have 240V power in my fishing van, nespresso capsule based lungo is a great kick start after a night in the bivvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullard83 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have got the Kelly kettle too wich I take camping. The kids love gathering twigs etc for it & I have the push fit x section to fit the top on with a pan to cook with, although mainly use a foldable bbq grill for cooking.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have always found the Kelly Kettle base with a grill over it is far too close to the heat. Consequently I cook over the chimney which provides more hot water and is further away from the fire.. Only other addition was a whistled stopper, to make me aware of the boiling water and to keep the bits out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came with a whistling stopper/cover when I bought it from knebworth country fair some years ago. Like yourself if cooking I use the pan on top of the chimney. I was thinking of getting something similar to jetboil for when out fowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I am out fishing I like a fresh ground coffee, I have tried several methods and the "hands down" winner for me is the Aero Press. Simply grind some coffee beans into a Tupperware container and make up a "brew kit" (sugar/sweetener, milk/cream etc.etc.) to take with you. When it's time for a break, use the stove of your choice to heat some water and use the Aero Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I use a Coleman mixed fuel stove which runs on unleaded or for a slightly cleaner burn the Coleman liquid fuel, a small compact stove that boils water very quickly. I managed to get a pouch for it from amazon. Also in the truck is one of those campingaz gas stoves handy bit of kit for the truck and does the job well and comes in it own case.
