    Thermos and Jetboil both have their place but what do you do on total fire ban days?
    Can't have an open flame (I don't have a camper) so 12 volt becomes the option. Maybe an inverter to run a standard kettle?

    interesting?? i wouldn't call my JetBoil and Open flame though. it all clips into itself. so the jug on top that holds up to 1lt of water locks onto the base with eh flame and has a guard around it to stop you burning yourself. Id not hesitate to use it on a TFBD.

    The best bit is it all packs up into the jug! Winner.

    It will boil your cup of coffee in about 1 minute.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Sometimes it just becomes more trouble than its worth. I would just drink water.

    Not sure how efficient they are but you can buy Coffee cups with a USB outlet to
    keep your coffee warm/hot. Maybe pre make the coffee and just drive till its hot.
    Then you can plan your stops, depending how long it takes to heat your coffee

    There is no issue using a jetboil on a Total fire ban day in WA, You can use gas bbq's with some restrictions as per this link. https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/totalfire...CantIDo.aspx#1

    I can't remember what they're called or where they come from, but it's coffee in a can. You just shake it a few times, and it comes out really hot.

    From memory a few years ago it was $4-$5 a can
    Winner of 'Best 4 x 4 ' at the 2017 Albany Agricultural Society Inc - Town n Country Ute Muster.

    You could buy one of the red devil water to water heat exchangers and have a hot water supply without the use of gas or electricity? They are a variant of the glind shower I believe and will heat 500ml or 1 litre from memory as you drive along, so pull up, open the tap and hot water, that is provided you fill it up first before starting. Guy in the Landcruiser club had one and it was magic.

    there should be a thread on them I brought some back after a fishing trip
    up the Murray, Yes your oricing is right about $4 a can you can also get hot chocolate
    and a mushroom soup from memory. I thought it was good value for money

    Well Safeway dont sell coffee in a can, I normally buy one one the way to
    the Murray in a little servo south of Shep. It may be more regional
