I already have the same kettle that is made of halulite. It has been one of my most used pieces of cooking equipment. However, I didn't like cleaning the halulite kettle after it was used over a camp fire. It was very hard to clean. That is why I bought this one, made of stainless steel. Much easier to clean after being used over a camp fire. Now this one is a little heavier than the halulite kettle, so it will be used mainly for base camp operations. The halulite kettle will still questions used, only as my go to kettle for backpacking, should I decide to take one.
