Ive used an outwell collapsable kettle for years, had a primus one before that.

the copper coil in those kettles is around 40% better at conducting heat than plain aluminium, I have a larger version on the home stove made from pure copper, nothing can touch it for boiling fast.
the concept has been around since 1903, but comparatively recently on carp kettles.

Thanks for all the replies guys, some great suggestions there.
Just one last question. How do you stop your water container freezing up on the coldest of days/nights?

Leave enough water in the kettle for your late night brew, and put some in a 500ml plastic bottle and leave it under the foot end of the sleeping bag for your early morning brew.

If your using a 5ltr container or so just put it in your bivvy, cover with something if really needed. I've never had that mass of water freeze solid that way.
I tend to leave the kettle empty as its almost garaunteed to freeze water in it.
If its really that cold just remember not to put your net against your bivvy or leave it on the landing mat and worse case not even in the margins
...nope not done it but seen it,
Oh, forgot, had the primus standard for around 2 decades (still got it), had the Fire Maple heat exchanger small for over 10 I think, good kettle.
EDIT, and b4 that a small black camping 1 as prev pictured, naturally that had to go as it was too big and not Carpy enough, then the Primus as it wasn't efficient enough....whats the next thing I wonder.. probably won't be here so sod it!

>>>>. How do you stop your water container freezing up on the coldest of days/nights<<<<<
If your using 5 litre and larger water containers, just stand it upside down, the ice will form on the top, and when you come to use it, turn it right ways up, the water will be above the ice ready to pour out. Or alternatively, lay the container on its side and it works in a similar way and also stops the ice floating to the top as the ice block will be a different size and shape.
Smaller containers it will work the same, but if it extremely cold or not much water in them, they may freeze solid.
