- harlanlewis 2y agoDid the article change, or was this a very strange quote edit? Here’s the current line in the article, emphasis mine: >> The Thermette, a simple and effective device for boiling water outdoors over an enclosed fire, was designed by Manawatū plumber John Hart in 1929 *based on similar products in Ireland and England.* He patented the Thermette in 1931.
