If you do a lot of camping, and you want hot water fast, and like the idea of heating with a few dry sticks, a ghillie kettle is just the thing:
It works.
Try to find one that has a stainless steel liner for the water chamber. Aluminum isn’t ideal.

If you are handy, you can make a functional one with a few metal cans, snips and pliers:
Portable.
Fire.
More functional, not so much style. Then again, I’d never want a gas or a wood fire to burn unvented indoors. @Grey_Devil has it exactly right. Can’t see it, can’t smell it, can’t taste it, but you’re still dosing yourself with something deadly.
Looks all clever and hip, that briefcase fireplace, until the carbon monoxide sets in. I imagine all those too clever by half hipsters in ancient Rome thinking they really were on to something, heating their wine in those big pewter vats over a big fire.
ETA:
This kettle looks like it’s steel but isn’t welded into one piece, making it harder to haul around during use.
