GSI Outdoors Halulite Tea Kettle

The heat-exchange base acts like a radiator, capturing more heat from your stove and directing it into the water rather than letting it escape around the sides. This design allows the kettle to boil water up to 30% faster than standard flat-bottomed kettles, which saves significantly on fuel over the course of a trip.

This kettle is specifically engineered for use with camp stoves. While the hard-anodized aluminum is durable, the heat-exchange fins on the bottom are delicate and can be easily damaged or clogged by soot and ash if placed directly into a campfire.

The handle is designed to fold down for storage, but it is made of metal and can become hot during use. We recommend using a pot holder or a bandana when handling the kettle immediately after it has been removed from the stove.

The 1.8-liter capacity is the total volume of the vessel. For safe boiling without splashing or overflowing, we recommend filling it to about 1.5 liters.

Yes, the compact, cylindrical profile is designed to nest well with other GSI Outdoors camp kitchen systems. However, because of the heat-exchange fins on the bottom, you should be careful when nesting items to ensure you don't scratch or bend the fins.
