A coffee boiler is just any pot that you can boil water and add the coffee grounds sometimes referred to as cowboy coffee or boy scout coffee. The longer you boil it the stronger it tastes. What I do when camping with lot of people is after the grounds and water come to a boil is to stir the grounds with a lighted hickory stick the charcoal of the stick adds a nice flavor to the coffee. This is just poured through a metal strainer before serving.
Isn't there also something about throwing a "handful" (1/4 cup maybe?) of cold water into the coffee pot when it is done to help settle the floating coffee grounds?
I've never done Cowboy Coffee.
