A samovar is a device traditionally used to more quickly and conveniently heat and boil water for tea. This lightweight and durable aluminum version is perfect on the road for boiling water fast (within 3-5 minutes) once the fire is burning steady within the fire base. Uses any readily available natural fuel like wood, dry grass, etc. Whistles when the water inside starts to boil. Silicone covered handles stays cool to the touch even when contents inside are steaming hot and folds in for more compact storage. Set includes Samovar, wire pot support, fire base and carrier bag. Cooking pot sold separately. Choose .5L version (10.5βx5.5β, 1.2 lbs) or 1.2L version (13.4βx7β, 2.2 lbs)

Nearly everywhere youβll ever camp youβll find all kinds of combustible hot-burning biomass. Sticks and twigs the size of your thumb and smaller. This stuff is way faster and easier to light and to cook with that youβd think, burns nearly smokelessly, and will reliably provide more than enough heat for all kinds of trail cookery.
But why go Neanderthal now, with all those ingenious little gas stoves available? Because A) itβs less stuff to carry so youβll travel lighter, and B) itβs nearly as fast to gather the fuel and then heat a liter of water as it is to do the same job with a hissing stove. And C), itβs a lot cleaner than youβd think. Soot is confined within the βchimneyβ of samovar-kettles so you never touch it, and flat-folding stoves come with fabric storage sleeves.
What if itβs been raining all day and everything is wet? Uhhβ¦Dead limbs still attached to trees usually remain dry enough to ignite quickly with only a little help from an accelerant like a small piece of dry paper or a few drips of gasoline, or one or two Esbit fuel tabs (#4113). After they are going the heat provided will dry wetter stuff added later. But when itβs really raining super-hard find a motel and eat at a diner -- (even if you are carrying a gas stove).
About the only places you cannot quickly and easily find sticks and twigs are a few high desert locations.

In one sentence, the great thing about these cooking systems is how they are light and compact to carry, heat water really fast with any kind of combustible materialβ¦and thereβs no buildup of soot on the outside which makes packing and carrying them clean and easy.
