Default Kettle to boil water


wrote in message
...
I wonder what would be the best and most economical kettle to use to boil
water while cruising.
For year I have used an aluminium enclosed kettle with a whilst on a Origo
non pressurized alcohol stove.
I did not any better ( and still do) and was satisfy with the time to
bring water to a boil, the pouring and the filling.
Today I am looking at propane and the purchase of a new kettle and I
wonder what would be the best buy?
On a long cruise/crossing the more time it takes to bring water to a boil
means more propane.



The kettle you've been using should work just fine. Personally, I prefer
stainless steel, and I think you'll find that it retains heat longer than
aluminum, but to each their own.
