While boiling your water for a cup of tea, you can also be toasting marshmallows and warming your hands.

There’s no bad cup of tea in the bush with an original New Zealand Made Thermette. The solid Copper Thermette comes with Stainless Steel Cooking Ring and Galvanised Fire Ring

Boiling water in under five minutes with just a few twigs, a piece of paper, and the Thermette is a must for anyone who loves the great outdoors or long lazy picnics. The Thermette is a New Zealand icon, and we all remember the days of cups of tea made from stream water boiled in the Thermette. Made in New Zealand from copper, the Thermette is designed to be efficient and built to last a lifetime.

Invented in New Zealand, the Thermette uses a unique copper cone-shaped cylinder that holds water. This cylinder distributes heat from a small fire at its base to the large coned surface area surrounded by water. The heat from the small fire heats the internal water rapidly and funnels it out the top of the cylinder, creating additional heat for cooking.

Thermette History
The Thermette was invented in 1929 by a New Zealander, John Ashley Hart and quickly became a New Zealand icon. The Thermette was issued as standard equipment for New Zealand regiments fighting in the North African deserts during the Second World War. The Thermette was lovingly nicknamed the `Benghazi Boiler’ and became a treasured piece of equipment in the harsh environment of the desert. Campsites occupied by New Zealand army units always left the distinctive circle of scorched earth from where the Thermette stood. This puzzled the Enemy troops for some time until they learnt that only New Zealand troop camps left this distinctive telltale sign.

The Thermette quickly gained popularity once the war was over and has since become a much-loved Camping equipment icon. The Thermette is a unique appliance that combines both heating and cooking functions, using charcoal or wood as its fuel source. It consists of two cylindrical pieces that fit together and can be set up easily wherever you are, with the bottom piece used as the firebox and the top section containing a grill plate for cooking.
The Thermette is designed to be incredibly efficient and reliable in all conditions, meaning it’s perfect for camping trips into

Thermette – The more the wind blows, the quicker the water boils.
