Hot water on the go, 12v kettle or camping stove

Just a thought, put forward by a colleague.... You could always use the little hexamine cooker they used to supply in Army ration packs many years ago, they effectively run of BBQ lighting bricks, which are dirt cheap in Lidl/Aldi. Each lasts around 10mins and is (IIRC) enough to boil a pot of water.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Another option is a multi fuel stove these run on pressurised petrol etc. They are expensive to buy but run on cheap fuel compared with gas canisters but have the performance of a gas stove.

A word of warning, the gas cans can leak and in a van you have plenty of ignition sources and erm, fireballs of death do make a bit of a mess!
The travel kettles tend to be a bit naff and the 12v socket will be limited to 100W or so which would take 10-12 mins to boil 1 litre of water.
Another option is an inverter which you can hardwire to the battery and just use a proper kettle, perhaps even a little electric hotplate as well and you could have a bacon roll with your tea! Just leave the engine idling while you do it and the battery should be fine0 -

More like 3000w, unless you get one of those piddly little things you get in hotel rooms.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
