Greetings Mark, Thanks for filming and posting. Oh! Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays to you as well. Thanks for commenting

Looks like a nice kettle! Most of these time, 2 cups is all I’d need, either out in the woods or on my stovetop at home.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree. Just the right size most of the time. Thanks for commenting

[@ricardoneto7789]

Thanks for sharing 😉 Can you store a Trangia burner inside the kettle along with a small lighter. Would also be interesting if the kettle would nest in the trangia 27 kit . The trangia aluminium kettle has a wide lid allowing storage of the alcohol burner. I would see this Fire maple as a nice addition to replacing the Trangia aluminium one. Just a thought!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I just double checked. Yes, you can store a Trangia burner in the kettle. I have the slightly larger Trangia 25 set and the kettle fits in with room to spare. Thanks for commenting

Thank you for the video. 🥰 Yes, you nailed it, again. For ONLY one cup of drink or one meal it may be enough, and that's why my kettle is on stand by. I love reading other people's comments as well, BECAUSE many of them have extremely good ideas to up the reviewed items by thinking versatile!🥰 I have been watching other videos on these types of kettles, and I came to the conclusion that a spout is better short, and at the TOP of the kettle then starting at the bottom. I am concerned with the ease of cleaning the pot, as well as possible blockages in the long skinny spouts, and maybe the breaking of the skinny spouts, due to rough outdoor usage, or like me dropping things constantly. That's not my cup of tea. I have a similar one, but don't like to use it, BECAUSE for myself I drink 4 to 6 Cups of coffee after feeding livestock. At 14:00 hours I either drink one cup of instant coffee or 2 cups of tea and it is then that I eat my brunch. I ONLY eat one meal per day but eat a couple of crackers if I experience hungepangs (not very often).

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Wow, quite the analysis of outdoor kettle and right on. The only advantage I can see for a kettle with a spout at the bottom is for using it with pour-over coffee makers. It allow a bit more control and precision with the flow. That is a lot of coffee. What do you make it in? I think I would go with a larger French press like my Stanley Boil and Brew.

@MarkYoungBushcraft I mainly pour over my Melitta filter directly in my cup. And since I am frugal, I also reuse my coffee grounds in conjunction with new grounds (in the same paper Filter, before it gets discarded to the compost, I used for my morning coffee). I tried percolators, Expresso machines, French presses (I have one), and what have you, but always returned to pour over. That's been engraved into my European DNA.😂

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

@MarkYoungBushcraft I use coffee as a self meditation for my ADHD, and narcolepsy! My coffee is ground to almost powder (I guess like an Expresso!?!). I purchase my coffee beans green and roast them as needed, and when needed I have a grain grinder that I use to grind my coffee how I want it to be. And my instant coffee is an Expresso type coffee as well. No special flavors or anything other then French roast or Columbian coffee.

Have a couple of kettles, 0.6l (for just me) and 1.0l (for with partner) obviously they're a bit of bulk compared to a nice slim tall pot but the wide base does mean an efficient burn (less heat escaping up the sides).

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree, wider is better for heating efficiency. Thanks for commenting

[@auroraborealisknives4019]

I like that compact kettle. It’s quite light and easy to carry in the pack 👍

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

It is a great size for sure. Thanks for commenting Alex

[@jastrapper190]

Excellent information. Many thanks.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

You're welcome. Glad you found it useful.

[@michellemichaels3258]

Thanks 🙏 I have several Fire Maple products and love them

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree. High value products for sure. Thanks for commenting

[@DarryllC]

It really is nice having a kettle that can whistle. Looks like that is not an included feature(?)

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice video THANKS

[@MichaelR58]

Good review Mark, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@johnnyliminal8032]

Tea don’t interest me, been there done that. Darjeeling Golden Tips, top of the crop. Nowadays, I cook coffee. Fine grind espresso-type, in a small pot on the stove, cowboy style but faster lol. Wouldn't be a big step to take that outdoors, but would be cool. Cheers Mark, from Edmonton AB. Good season of Light, to you.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Same to you. Thanks for commenting

[@thedriftingspore]

Nice little kettle there from Fire Maple. I think my old kettle will hold 6 cups of water easily, 8 full to the limit which is about 6 cups more than I usually ever need. Would be great to have a smaller option. Do you feel like this kettle would pack nicely in a haversack? Thanks for sharing Mark.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

For sure, Quite small but it is made of stainless steel so it will weigh more for its size than you aluminum kettle. Thanks for commenting Steve

[@englishe1]

I'd like to see a comparison to the MSR Alpine 1L Teapot.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I see MSR has two 1L tea pots. One is aluminum and the other is stainless steel. Which one were you thinking?

[@englishe1]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft I have been using the original MSR Alpine SS Teapot for years now. It nests inside the MSR Alpine 2 pot set and my Trangia, Bic and fuel nest inside the teapot. The entire kit is bombproof and will last a lifetime, packs small and is relatively lightweight.

[@scetis]

Yeah, Mark, if you can find one, it would be an amazing find… I got mine off Facebook a few years back and when I talked to the guys at MSR, they couldn’t tell me when it was last made. Pretty hard to find, but like it was stated above, a bombproof kettle. And, it’s amazing how it nests inside the Alpine system… great little package.

[@neemancallender9092]

I have the 0.6 Trangia kettle in the 27 kit Honestly it is too small You get one decent cut of coffee or tea from the 0.6 I much prefer at least 0.9 That gives me a full pot of tea or a second mug of coffee So given the choice of purchasing a kettle it would be bigger that a dedicated 0.6

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

A lot of the time I go with the larger kettle as well. I have reviews on at least four larger kettles from Fire Maple if interested. Thanks for commenting

[@neemancallender9092]

Yes I have seen your reviews and enjoyed them My best kettle is the Nimbus Wide opening for cooking Great capacity Locking handles Very lightweight

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

@neemancallender9092 Thanks, I will look at the Nimbus kettle 👍🏼

[@redsorgum]
