    Probably not much use in the UK though.....

    Guys, take a look at this, we all like fires and a scaled down version from a small copper coil might work well, with it being open ended there's no fear of pressure explosions

    Campfires are best shared with friends.

    My only concern about the idea of a solar kettle is that you need a hot drink most when it is dark and/or gloomy - so doesn't this then become just another gadgety thing to carry that might have been better left at home?

    Interesting concept if you had a permanent camp situation.
