Well a simple tin can will do the job.

Of all the times I've been in Ikea I've never, ever, seen a line of homeless people coming in to buy the cutlery strainers so they can make fire in it...

Tin can, awl and tin snips. Job done. K.I.S.S

Boiling 2 litres of water on a hobo stove *will* take ages! How big's your kettle??? Mine's 1.7 litres and that takes about 7 or 8 minutes to boil when you turn it on. If you want to boil that amount of water then you're going to need gas, or a proper fire. A hobo-stove won't cut it!
