Key Features & Technical Specs
Heating Mechanism & Versatility
The FK1 combines a kettle with a built-in fire bowl. You light small twigs, pinecones, bark, or other tinder in the bowl, and the heat ascends through the kettle’s central chimney, boiling the water quickly via a chimney effect.
As water boils, an included steam whistle emits a distinct signal
Flip the fire bowl upside-down and insert it into the kettle for space-saving storage and easy transport
