How To Choose A Kettle For A Wood-burning Stove
Stovetop kettles are not only beloved for nostalgic reasons, but they are also prized for their versatility and durability. Unlike their electric counterparts, which rely on components that can wear out over time, a stovetop kettle is built to last. With proper care, they can withstand years of use, becoming treasured heirlooms passed down from one generation to the next.
In an age of rapid technological advancement, kettles for wood burning stoves stand as a symbol of simplicity, craftsmanship, and tradition. They invite us to slow down, to reconnect with the past, and to find the joy in using an everyday item.
At Salamander Stoves, we stock a carefully curated collection of stove top kettles from the iconic Italian designer, Alessi, all exquisitely crafted to combine beauty with practicality.
Each kettle has been specifically chosen to work effectively on a stove top. The kettles have a broad, flat base to maximise the surface area which comes into contact with the stove, ensuring even heat distribution and a faster boil time.
The Conico Alessi features the strong, geometric lines familiar to fans of the designer, while the more compact Little Bird has, as its name suggests, a distinctive bird-shaped whistle.
Available in black and white, The Little Bird is one of the best-selling kettles for wood burning stoves in the world.
The Pito Alessi Stovetop is a truly remarkable kettle, with its handle and whistle fashioned in mahogany to resemble two darting fishes.
As a charming addition, the whistle recreates the sound of whale song – making any tea break a calming experience.
The Sapper 9091 was inspired by designer Richard Sapper’s childhood memories of hearing boat on the Rhine. The kettle has a melodic whistle made of brass, which can be used on a wide range of small stoves or on an induction hob.
The Tea Rex is made of high-quality stainless steel, giving it a lovely mirror finish.
To mark the 30th anniversary of this style, the kettle has been given a makeover and the whistle has been re-designed as a mythical creature.
All our kettles combine fun and practicality and add a wonderful centerpiece to your living space.
In today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification is the norm, stovetop kettles remind us of the value of slowing down and savoring life’s simple pleasures. Whether it is enjoying a leisurely cup of tea with loved ones or taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of a well-crafted kettle, these timeless companions encourage us to embrace a more mindful way of living.
