Can anyone help me to get hold of a bush kettle to add to our camping box, the one that you light a stick fire up the middle of the kettle?

Would love one myself,(as a collector of these sort of gadgets) but would only pay $1/ at a garage sale for one.
The best bush breakfast (
well, usual for me) is "cot,p,ala", but of course this is only the first for the day, and that you certainly wont get out of a "bush kettle".
Better off with a billy o/o a no.9 prune tin. And thats another bush essential
Happy brewing (Irish breakfast mesen!) kesh

Younguns,
Had the Aussie Geo version for 10/12 years. Got tired of waiting for the water to boil first thing in the morning (gotta have cuppa with first smoke for the day) using chips/twigs, so got an old repo tin, filled it with kero soaked rag and problem solved.
Gets very dirty inside this way, use a small branch to flush out.
There is a kiwi version that is made out of enamel plated steel.
Cheers,
Bros.
