| 1450811 | 2018-06-22 03:56:00 | Our family had one in the 50s. We went for a trip from Wellington up to Cape Reinga and back in the 50s (a long trip in those days) and we used it a few times each day. It was very easy to find fuel as it boiled well on just a handful of twigs. | Roscoe (6288) | ||

| 1450817 | 2018-06-23 09:52:00 | In the 1950s we had a thermette which I remember being used at picnics usually beside a river. Today I was in E Hayes which is a hardware store in Invercargill. They sell a thermette that you can put an attachment on the top to allow a frying pan or pot to be placed so that it can be used for cooking as well as for boiling water. This is a Tin Thermette costing NZ$187.00, prices since the 1950s have gone up. It brings back a lot of memories. |
