Ghillie Kettle

Chances are you never heard of this - but today is the day my friend.  Today is the day.

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.

Air feed holes for stoking the fire with oxygen

Comes with wire stand so it doesn't burn your table.

Little pan / grill set that comes with the package

Handle is removable. Comes with holder for cooking apparatus.

Comes with a funky carrying bag

My 4 cups, Gillie Kettle and thermos fit in the bag comfortably

Ta-da! The pot and pan, grill and all flips over and fits in the base of the kettle for compact storage. 

 Yup - That's all part of the part and parcel.
Tea on the go.  Can't beat that.  I couldn't have tea in a blackout till now.  :)

Thanks for reading!

p.s. This model is called the Maverick - smallest version.
