Special shape kettle for woodburners!

Post by happyhacker »

My woodburners is small and not much flat area on top as the flue is a top connected one. Does anyone know of a source of oblong shaped kettles (or even a sauce pan)?

Some of the camping type pans are rectangular, but they don't look very substantial to me, rather like sardine tins!

Would a coffee pot do the trick instead?

Nearly Manda, the handle may get a bit hot though. I'm looking for SS or black. Base must be 150mm because stove is small. looking for a source in the UK. Thanks.

I was thinking laterally on this one and thought that a Storm/Kelly kettle might work. As it's designed to sit over a fire pot it should be able to handle being on a stove top. They come in several sizes starting at around 14cm.
Might be worth a look.

PS As an added bonus you could take it out with you and have a good kettle to make a cuppa while out and about.

Well, that copper one looks pretty lethal! Titanium is fine if you can afford it. I need a 2ltr with 6" (150mm) base SSteel. Am I on a US forum (I'm in the UK so any example would best be Amazon.

No we are an English site, our 'boss' has just given up this very English job.

Are you still looking for a kettle then?

I've just given up doing IT, websites and Telecoms and now have an allotment, looking to do some volunteering. So, yes I am still looking. My stove only has 15cm of flat surface either side of the flue. Most kettles are about 20 - 25cm. It seems only thing available is a 2ltr hot water jug but they can cost over £20.
