I live in a country where people are tea-crazy. A very traditional way for making tea is using the "semaver."
http://www.friendsofmerzifon.org/Day16/pages/Picture0668_2.htmlSemaver is a boiler with a pot on it. You burn your fuel under the semaver in the part with holes all around. A semaver is usually made of copper or tin.
The picture on the link is a sophisticated one. I was not able to find a single picture for a more simple one.
A little bit bulky but the easiest to use around the house or the garden. It has a tap on the boiler <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
