I was recently trying to decide what to take, when I weighed our camping electric kettle set up (with one pan and a spare gaz cartridge) against a couple of ½l thermos flasks, and was surprised to fine that the weighed exactly the same i.e.: 1.83 kg. So we have decided to use the kettle. Most B & B have a plug somewhere were one can boil a kettle.
