Just received this little Camping Kettle. Looks OK - very light. Tried it out on my electric cooker to see if it whistles as some reviews said it doesn't = mine does. On a cooker, it did heat up quite quickly no problem. It didn't leak but I did put a bit too much water in so as it boiled, it did overflow out of the spout. Handle was fine to hold bare hand but again, it was on a small electric plate with no flames licking around it so not sure if it makes a difference as some reviews said the handle got too hot to hold. It also seems to pour OK out of the spout - one issue is filling it up might be a bit of a pain, only because the lid to the spout / whistle when lifted up to fill is still slightly in the way of the hole and if using water from a bottle, it might be tricky to aim without spills but no big deal. 1 try out on the cooker = kettle did NOT leak from the base as some reviews also complain about.
Will get the full picture once I have tried it out over a fire as as I have never made a campfire before, it will be interesting all the way.
