The Campfire Water Boiler offers a unique and practical way of always having hot water for cleaning and showering at your campsite.
Constructed from quality galvanised steel, this boiler holds up to 15L of water and makes for an invaluable addition to your camp kitchen. All you do once the unit is full of cold water is place it on the ground next to the campfire and it will start to warm. As you need to draw hot water all you do is pour cold water into the top funnel and hot water pours out the spout.
Have hot water ready at the campsite when you need it with the Campfire Water Boiler.

Hi does the unit need to be full to work? Could I say boil 6 litres and still get hot water out of it. Could you also provide a bit more info on the way the water comes out or a video. So it doesn't tip out, but comes out the spot when more water is added? Does this assume it always needs to be full? I'm concerned about water wastage and how to use what's on there if it always needs topping up? Thanks

G'day Donna,
The Water Boiler does need to be full in order to get water out of it. The idea is that you keep the unit on the fire, with the water being constantly warmed, then when you're wanting to get some warm water out, you just add cold water into the top funnel section that will push down to the bottom of the container, and push the pre-warmed water out the side for you to use. You could also use it a little like a billy to heat up water, and some leather gloves to pick up and pour the water out using the spout if you prefer.

That's helpful thank you. So just to clarify: If it was full of hot water, you could get it all out to use at once? Or if it was half full, you could get that out without having to add more water? TIA

Hi Donna,
To clarify - if you don't want to tip the unit at all, it must be completely full, the extra water is added into the top (see funnel shape in the top), adding the water pushes the water out of the spout on the side, if you want to use all of the water in the boiler, you'll need to replace all of the water in the unit by constantly adding more water to the unit, so it pushes water out of the spout. - if the unit is half full you'd need to tip the unit to get water out of the spout, or add enough water that the water level will be high enough to push out of the spout.
Essentially this unit is designed to be full, and kept on/near the fire, then topped up when you want some hot water to be pushed out of the spout.

When the water boils, does steam come out the outlet tube?1 answer
I need to make distilled water when travelling to use in my vehicle. It isn't always readily available in towns and more importantly I dont want to pay for packaging.

G'day Malcolm,
The Campfire Water Boiler will push hot water out of the outlet tube when you fill the centre cone with cold water. I'm not entirely sure which process you plan to use to make distilled water but based on the conical lid design I'm not sure this will work for you.

Does it rust1 answer
Lee - BELMONT, NSW(8 years ago)
Hi Lee, the Campfire Water Boiler is made from galvanized steel, which means there is a protective coating on the steel to stop it from rusting. As long as you take care to keep the boiler clean and dry, you should not have any issues with rust.

Being galvanized is this water boiler ok to drink hot water from ?1 answer
Todd - LAUNCESTON, TAS(9 years ago)
Good question Todd, and something I had to do some research on. I couldn't unearth any definitive answers, but based on what I read I wouldn't recommend this for drinking and cooking purposes, it is best kept for washing and showering. It seems that particularly at high temperatures Galvanised Steel may release unwanted chemical into the water.
