now you're cooking with ???

Up until now I've been half planning my mobile life as if resources will remain intact. I know at some point, even in this lifestyle, that I will most likely have to live it on leaner ground. My current form of cooking is based on using prepackaged fuels of one sort or another. I'm aware of all the cool little gadgets out there that utilize renewable sources to cook with but none of them seem to suit my needs. I even purchased the Jetboil as an alternate means to cook with, but to be frank I use it mostly just to heat water for my tea. That hardly fills the need for prepackaged fuel free cooking. I had my eye on the lodge dutch oven, but the amount of natural fuel I would need fuel it would most likely have me violate some sort of gathering law. While the Biolite Stove is really neat I came to conclusion that it falls short for what I need after seeing it in action. 

Recently a very good friend of mine turned me onto something that's been around for a very long time. The brilliance of its simplicity can't be matched. You'll quickly recognize how it's been imitated on its base operating principal, but more impressed at how clever it was implemented with the original version. From my understanding this has only recently made it's way into the US market. Despite how new it is, it has demonstrated that it is worth more than it's weight in gold. So without further delay here is the Kelly Kettle.

This is the large model.

The model I've been drooling over is the medium sized kit sold on Amazon.com which I'm about to order now. The part at the bottom is where all your fuel goes. Twigs, pine cones, or anything that burns. The mouth at the top is where you can add more fuel. The angled mouth at the top side is where you can add water to be boiled. The kit includes an apperatus which fits on the top allowing you to place a pan/pot to cook with. Since I'm something of an avid tea drinker the ability to boil water while I make dinner is a plus. I mean in addition to all the applications of boiling water while cooking off the same flame. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
