The tradition of the Ghillie heating up water on the shore for their client's tea dates back to the late 1800's in western Ireland. These handmade kettles were made mostly of tin and had very short lives.This current model is made from anodized aluminum. There are other metal varieties. It is light, compact and durable. I haven't given it a go for its money yet, but I am thoroughly impressed with the basic concept and practicality of this compact design. Even for cooking a small meal in the bush, it would be a handy thing. Has the dual function of cooking and boiling at the same time.
