Antarcti Stainless Steel Kettle | 1.2L

Why is it shaped like that (wide and flat)?

Two reasons:

- Storage: The wide body is designed to fit a standard 230g gas canister (or a small bowl) perfectly inside. It saves massive space in your pack.

- Efficiency: The wider base captures more heat from a campfire or stove, boiling water faster than a tall, narrow kettle.

Can I put it directly on a campfire?

Yes. It is made of food-grade Stainless Steel. Unlike aluminum which might warp or melt, this kettle is built to withstand the intense direct heat of open flames and coals.

Does the handle stay up?

Yes. The bail handle (hanging wire) is designed to lock in the upright position. This keeps it away from the side flames and makes it easy to grab with a stick or gloved hand.

Will it turn black?

Yes, and it should. If used on a wood fire, it will develop a layer of soot (patina). This is normal for bushcraft gear and adds to the rustic aesthetic. It does not affect performance.

Is it heavy?

It is heavier than titanium but much stronger. For rough use in the woods where you might bang it against rocks or logs, the durability of stainless steel is worth the extra grams.
