Default Kettle to boil water

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.


for a LOT of water, i would use my pressure cooker. it gets the job
done fast. but for a small amount of water i would not bother bringing
it out, a small amount boils fast no matter what you put it in.
