You would first have to make an iron hook out of a bar of iron and attach it to the stove. Then the iron kettle could be put on and removed by clicking it on the stove like you do with the pots to the fireplace. Have the kettle take 3 to 5 bars to make hold 10l of water and have at least 9 or possible 12 slots. Could be used to boil all the standard things except possible Birch bark. It would also have some of its own recipes that would require the kettle like stews and soups.

I agree with everything except it having 6 slots, a copper pot has 9, i think a kettle would have more.

My bad I have not used a copper pot since pre-wipe when it only had 4 spots will change it.

A kettle is not a pot, kettles hold only liquids and are meant for boiling water that can then be poured out for other uses. Presently water dose not have a temperature, rather the vessel it is in has the status of being hot or not so mechanically their is no ability to boil water in one container and transfer it.

If you want to boil something at your stove, just allow clay and copper pots to be placed in the stove, their is no need for a new item.

I would be fine with the clay or copper pots being used on the stove. I was going for the more traditional metal use which would have been iron for most homes. A cauldron is also a type of kettle but I used the name kettle to distinguish it from the bigger iron cauldron already in game. The more modern use for kettle would be like the tea kettle which is for water but stew and other such food would have been cooked in cauldrons (kettles) traditionally.

Edit: Just remembered a more modern usage of kettle for cooking a food. Kettle corn which is popcorn cooked in oil with sugar and salt and cooked traditionally in a large iron kettle.
