Had the opportunity to try out the sun kettles and they do indeed work if you have a need for hot water.

Good catch. I did not realize it during this use. The contact I had at the company pointed it out but thought it was cool that it worked well with it on...lol. It has since been removed..duh

I was just about to point out the same thing.. Lol. Oh, without the reflectors, the dark tube will get hot in its own. The reflectors just make it hotter, quicker. You should redue the test again with the blue film off.

This guy isn't very good advertiser for the company. He had no idea what he was doing. Plus this test, was it done at the hottest time of the day?? Plus what was the temp outside when they did the test?? I guess without Sun you aren't going eat a warm meal, or does it work early and late in the day, or how about when it's cloudy out????

Thanks for reaching out... I am not an advertiser for the company...just an average dude trying something out. It does need the sun so clouds and the lack of the sun would prevent it from heating water. I did this in the late morning but I do live in SoCal so sun is not an issue early. The water does stay hot for a while but it is hot water...not boiling water so I have discovered if you need boiling water you need a flame.

The first temperature reading on the small one is in accurate. Pouring the water into the measuring cup immediately dropped the temperature of the water. If measure directly inside the Sun kettle, the temperature would read hotter. The second measurement after leaving them closed for a while was correct.

This is just another in a long line of gadgets that only fools buy. If a person can't find something to burn, and if they don't know how to start a friction fire, they aren't going to survive anyway. Unless you're in the desert or Antarctica, you can always find something to burn to heat water.

Per the packaging (07:16), I'd be curious to know how it boils water, since that occurs at 212°F. The max temperature it indicates it can achieve is well below that (02:50).

No disrespect intended, good to hear you have that. 👍 I personally gave up on "filtering" water, distilling yields the purest form of water one can get. It has the highest negative charge as well to pull the positively charged garbage (inorganic minerals) outta our bodies.

I got up to 212 degrees F. I used a toothpick as a shadow sundial to angle it to the sun. When it boiled the white inner rubber stopper came off the inside lid and stuck inside the tube and after that it no longer stays in the inside of lid since the circle diameter size of the white rubber piece seemed to have got bigger deformed size and is now loose and keeps falling off

I have my small sun kettle sitting outside now. It's 76 in ohio today. I want to see how long it will take to boil water in March. I didn't know they made a bigger one. I just ordered another one with my patriot food i just bought. I'm sure it's the 16oz I've got coming. I also have 2 sidekicks. Mini solar generators. Those work. I'm ready for an emergency/disaster. As ready as i can get. It's 3:37 right now. My kettle has been out there almost an hour.
