Kelly Kettles

L90OOK:
Trouble with any liquid fuel near water is the water ends up tasting of the fuel...no idea how or why...think it has something to do with density & vapours.
If in doubt carry a small bunch of kindling wood with you.  :lol:

If I remember rightly this was a trick used by troops in North Africa during WW2 - cut an old diesel can in half, add sand and diesel, stir with bayonet and set alight. The book did not mention whether anything cooked on such a fire would be classified as edible...
