Ok Wombat... what is that?

GD & HW, It's a solar kettle, boils 3 cups of water in less than 30 mins, well that's what it says on the box, testing it tomorrow

I'm afraid I would want my cuppa quicker than 30 minutes.

Had a closer look at it, Can see how it works now. Have fun trying it out.

Without meaning to be rude that looks more like a medical device for exploring a wombat hole

 LOL  marj i was thinking the same thing  ..i am sure u just get over the  need  if  you had to wait 30 minutes .....

gubby, tried it last night and it still has not boiled this morning, cos it's still dark outside my hole, you are correct, does not work at night, and Mrs G said you were smart
--------------------------------------------------------------------

HW, I just get up 30 minutes before I normally do
------------------------------------------------------------------

gubby, we do not have elecrtic power in our burrow and gas is not an option in a confined space, so the solar kettle is the next best option, I've been looking forward to a hot cuppa for a few years now.

pauline, I might have coffee

Elle on Wheels, I don't know what you mean
----------------------------------------------------------------

lilly31, just put it out in the sun 30 minuites before you think you need a cuppa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheba, yes the gas would be quicker BUT I think you are all missing the point, free hot water and great to sit there and watch it boil while having a snooze, don't think I'll use it on the dashboard as it will end up with boiling water inside.

my dad has in the tardis a 12 volt jug, that you can fill and you can just plug into the cigaret lighter
and takes about 10minutes or so to boil..

I have a 12 volt jug too milo. Haven't used it yet. Someone said it can be quite a drain on the battery so have it packed away.

I just use a good ol'fashion thermos. Load it in the morning before setting out, just the thing for my compulsory mid morning caffeine shot. I also use a small coffee plunger with coffee rather than instant dehydrated river mud (aka "instant coffee").

Well, let's face it, Wombats have all day, so he just has to leave it outside his hole, have an afternoon nap and when he comes out the waters ready for a cuppa........ Wombat style !

 That's exactly what I did today, have you been hanging about round my hole?

I suppose you could put soup in there and have a hot lunch!

one for every day

 

Father Ted, I'm not sure what you mean

Vic, I would have thought you would have stolen the hole and filled in the tea maker

Sheba, soup is a good idea.

Smokeydk, there is one missing for a whole week (only 6 there) and the light will not work down my hole.
