Fire-Maple XT2 Tea Kettle Camping Outdoor Hiking Picnic Pot Water Boiler for Coffee | Easy to Clean Hard Anodized Aluminum and Stainless Steel Cookware Set | Tea Pot and Coffee Pot

Bought this to replace a regular gas camping whistling kettle...which split after 1 year even though it was prob only used for 12 weeks max as in motorhome.... This is far superior, boils quicker, takes up less room, and lighter. Only 2 observations, no whistle which we knew at time of purchase...but more importantly lid falls off when you tip it all the way up to get last bit of water out...burnt my finger twice now but will try not to do it a third time..lol..

Great little kettle! Perfect size for two mugs, so you’re not wasting gas boiling more than you need. It feels well-made and is lightweight. The fins on the bottom help direct the heat, and it really does seem to boil quickly. So far, I’m very impressed.

Boils water. Very well made. Strong and should last

I converted to a hob kettle at least five years ago as I had a habit of boiling the electric kettle and forgetting about it and having to repeat the action and wasting money basically. In these high cost times changing to a hob kettle makes even more sense. I previously have been using a light weight Prima kettle and have been very happy but they don’t make a kettle smaller than 1.8 ltr capacity and most days it’s just one or two cups worth of water that needs boiling so still wasting gas and water even though I wasn’t filling the kettle up. This brought me to this little Firemaple kettle and it is tiny! 0.8 litres which it turns out is still plenty for two mugs of tea.It boils very fast and must already be saving me money. It has also made me realise just how ridiculously big most kettles are.Not many of us need to make eight cups of tea at a time on a regular basis and I don’t understand why small kettles are not easier to find. On the down side, I am used to a whistle and there isn’t one , however it boils so quickly that there’s no point leaving the room. I also want to address some common complaints about hob kettles .1. You never fill a kettle right up to the brim regardless of it going on the hob or plugging into the mains so the capacity is only a guideline to size. 2. The handle of any hob kettle will potentially get too hot to hold as the kettle sits directly on a heat sauce so use a folded tea towel or heat resistant glove to pick it up . This can be mitigated by not over boiling the kettle or having the flame too high. 3. Similarly, if the heat is too high most kettles will over time discolour on the outside along the boil line so if you want your kettle to stay pretty don’t have the heat too high. Back to the particulars of this kettle and the reason for 4stars and not 5,is the fact that the lid is very loose. Do not tilt the kettle to completely empty it while still hot or the lid will fall off. This won’t happen if you are lifting it with a cloth around the handle but is definitely something to be aware of. I am already used to using it and it’s now second nature not to pick this kettle up with bare hands but better forewarned. I love this kettle , it looks great boils quickly,saves gas , saves water and is perfect for one to two mugs of tea. One last point is the white chalky deposits on the water after boiling, it is from the water, that’s why some electric kettles have built in filters and it isn’t the kettles fault. I usually scoop it off with a teaspoon as once stirred it collects in the middle of the mug but I am sure that there are tea strainer type filters available but it doesn’t appear every time so I haven’t bought one. Enjoy.

Fantastic kettle, perfect for camping. Boils quickly which saves on gas and fills two mugs with water to spare. The lid can come off when pouring so just watch out!

Very good campsite kettle. Has some design at the base to make it boil a bit faster and it actually works. Lightweight and comes in a little storage bag. Looks a feels like a high quality item. Would definitely recommend.

Ideal for one person. As others have mentioned the lid is very loose, be careful when pouring. My parcel was NOT handed to resident, as stated on the delivery email. It was left outside my front door, no knock or bell ring. If I hadn’t have happened to be upstairs and noticed the van the parcel could have sat there for hours in plain view of passers-by.

This is dangerous... please be careful. The lid does not have any way to keep it in place when pouring, so it just falls off and you risk getting badly burned. I was pretty surprised at this major flaw because other than that its a great kettle. Compact, folding handle, lightweight but good capacity and boils quickly. The handle does get very hot and the small bit of plastic on the lid is hard to move when the kettle is hot. The spout is tiny but pours well. Expensive for an item that could potentially leave you injured. How did the makers not notice this, I have to wonder if they ever tested it.

Perfecto

Vi premetto che ho già recensito altri articoli per il camping e l’outdoor di questo brand cinese FIRE-MAPLE e vi posso confermare che questo nuovo brand si sta affermando con prodotti ben fatti e rifiniti al pari di quelli di brand più blasonati. Insomma, si tratta di un brand che realizza prodotti di ottima qualità. Questa teiera o bollitore arriva all’interno di una confezione curata con le immagini e le principali specifiche tecniche. La teiera è corredata anche di un sacchetto a rete con chiusura a coulisse, molto pratica oltre che di buona qualità per tenere l’articolo in ordine e al sicuro in mezzo alle altre cose (che sia nello zaino o in una scatola con tutte le cose di cucina). La teiera comprende anche un coperchio metallico che dispone di un piccolo pomello in plastica arancione collegato mediante punzonatura (unico particolare che in tutta onesta non mi piace particolarmente, avrei preferito una soluzione più essenziale e semplice come una semplice linguetta metallica appendice al coperchio stesso ad esempio). L’apertura della teiera ha un diametro di 9 cm, sufficiente per metterci anche la mano dentro per le operazioni di pulizia. L’impugnatura della teiera è ricoperta di uno strato di plastica rigida arancione (lo stesso del pomello), perfetta per non scottarsi e al tempo stesso per versare il liquido della teiera con facilità e in sicurezza. L’impugnatura è fissata alla teiera tramite supporti in acciaio inox collegati per punzonatura. Tutte le parti sono sufficientemente rifinite, non ci son parti taglienti, mal rifinite o assemblate male. Il fondo della teiera è concepito per riscaldare in maniera efficiente e veloce e infatti questo genere di ottimizzazione del riscaldamento promette un’efficienza del 30% in più rispetto ad analoghi prodotti (questa tecnologia introdotta per la prima volta dalla capostipite JetBoil assicura anche in questo Fire-Maple prestazioni di tutto rispetto). Il materiale della teiera è alluminio anodizzato con particolari in acciaio inox e il peso dell’articolo è sui 310 gr. Tutto di ottima qualità. La teiera ha le seguenti dimensioni: - diametro di 16,5 cm - altezza con manico chiuso 12 cm - altezza con manico aperto 17,5 cm - capacità 1,3 litri E’ un prodotto versatile e che trova utilizzo soprattutto se vi piace prepararvi tè o brodi. Personalmente se viaggio in zaino preferisco un classico Fire-Maple

Molto veloce, comodo

Super leicht und das Wasser kocht innerhalb weniger Minuten absolut top. Perfekt für 2 große tassen Kaffee

Great quality, reasonable price. Nice and light, nice pouring spout, good design. Only thing I wish was different was that there is a little rattling from the folding handle and connection on the lid
