They're not really used by campers to be honest. Where would you scavenge the fuel from?

They tend to be used by rural folk who wear flat caps, think a billhook is a wonderful tool and like smelling of smoke.

And you can't cook a meal with them. They're also _very_ bulky.

Well heeled rural folk - they're a silly price!

Ah, good man, I'm usually on my own on this one.

They seem to last with BTCV about 6 months. I drink water, rather than carry large bits of aluminium. In fact, I decided about two years ago that:
1: Coffee is horrible unless very expensive.
2: Tea is quite nice but variable.
3: Water is really quite good.

So I have a cup of tea in the morning and water (sometimes slightly modified to be beer or wine).

I wouldn't give you a washer for a kelly kettle. You could always smash one flat and recycle it.

I did see an "inside out " one once...homemade out of an old stainless "thermos" It worked really well. If anybody is into DIY'ing here's a link to some "hobo" stoves....pretty flames
