Kelly Kettle 'Base Camp 1.6ltr: Anodised Aluminium Kettle | Boil Water Fast Outdoors | Lightweight | Simply Fuel with Sticks | No Gas | Camping, Fishing, Scouts, Picnics | Weight 1.8lb / 0.8kg

This kelly kettle can hold enough water for about 6 big mugs of tea.Mine has only been used in the garden.I bought it for a back up when the electricity goes down as we have been left kettleless a couple of time before for that reason.It consists of a double walled chimney with a separate base for fuel.To use it, you first need to fill the inner chamber which is the whole outer body of the kettle, with water.Then you must set a fire going in the base pan and sit the kettle on top of it.The base pan has a hole to allow air in and can be moved around to get the best draught.Anything can be used as fuel providing it will burn . Dried leaves and grass work but can be a bit smokey. Sticks and waste paper make a good fire.Once the fire is going and the kettle on top, you can drop things down the chimney to add more fuel.There is a cork that fits the water filling hole. It is only for use when carrying or storing the kettle.When boiling water, it should hang on its chain .The handle is stiff wire and when the kettle is boiled, holding both sides of the handle and carefully lifting it off the fire is the safest way .It needs a bit of practice with a cold kettle .It takes about 3 minutes to get boiling water once the fire is set in.There is a further cooking accessory that can be bought to make use of the heat rising out of the kettle which makes it more useful and one can cook on just the base part by adding a grid to sit pans on.

Easy to use and very fast to boil. Will be ideal on our fishing trips

This is my 4th purchase of the ever faithful Kelly kettle! I'm a forest school leader and this is valuable price of my kit!You'll turn heads at any campsite. Easy to use but I suggest looking on YouTube for your own safety as easy mistakes can be made! It's fire at the end of the day and you don't get second chances!Quality of build is excellent... Can't recommend this enough. Packs away nice and easy too... Don't bother cleaning it.. Smells better in its burnt state! I find small dry pine cones are a good fuel and also ideal for when you allow younger ones to get involve by dropping in through the top.

I first heard & saw one of these kettles from a couple of friends of mine who produce firewood from a wood they own. I was impressed as to how easy it was to use,any old scraps of timber or dried grass will do & a match & away you go. Very quick as well, no messing about with stoves any more, less to carry. All you have to remember is to take some water with you. They have been around for about 100 years so it must be good. Isaw a documentry about the Royal family & I noticed they had one on a picnic at Balmoral.

Great portable kettle, it was a gift for my husband as he's always wanted one for fishing. He was over the moon.Easy to use, wonderful product. Fast delivery and really made my husbands day.Thank you. 👌

Had seen these from friends and relatives and always wanted one and then it was my wife's birthday! What do you get for the most wonderful person in the world who has just about everything else? Yep, a Kelly Kettle!Tea brewing whilst we are BBQing in the garden is wonderful. Has burnt paper, old plywood, cardboard, sticks, cuttings from the garden, all sorts just stuffed down the top.Works very well and am looking forward to using it in the summer whilst camping etc.Cheers!

I am a fisherman so wanted something to use on the bank and also take away camping. The Kelly kettle really takes you back to basics and gives you a sense of the great outdoors! It is simple to use but very effective and when the flames are going and the water starts to boil it looks great! Really we'll made and think it will last forever!

Broke after using it a few times, notified company but never got a reply back.

This is the perfect kettle for camping and fishing in the back woods. Everything is included other than the water and twigs. Highly recommended

アルミ製は水の味が変わるので敬遠していました。ステンレス製は高すぎる気がして買えませんでした。結局アルミ製を購入したのですが重曹を使用して臭いがしなくなりました。自己責任で使用して下さい。松ぼっくりとか枯れ草とか使用済割り箸とか適当に燃やすと10分ぐらいで沸騰します。素晴らしい製品です。火皿の穴を風上に向けるのが最初わからなくて苦労しましたが、今は快適に沸かすことができるようになりました。

recu rapidement, et directement essayer dans le jardin, se place tres facilement, jai fait bouillir mon eau en 4min montre en main , et l achemine marche super bien des qu'il fera a nouveau beau je ferai une video sur la kelly et l'hobo stove je la mettre sur ma chaine you tube n'hesiter pas a venir c'est le berry vous salut

Weil ich viel drausen zum Wandern, Klettern, Campen usw. bin, war ich auf der Suche nach einem praktischen Wasserkocher. Bei Gaskochern habe ich gerade bei Wind immer das Problem, dass die Hitze nicht gut genutzt wird und es sehr lange dauert Wasser zum Kochen zu bringen. Außerdem muss man immer einen Vorrat an Gaskatuschen mit führen und ist aufgeschmissen, wenn diese verbraucht sind. Dinge, über die ich mir mit diesem Kocher keine Gedanken mehr machen muss. Er schluckt wirklich alles, was irgendwie brennbar ist und davon ist ja in der Regel immer reichlich vorhanden (kleine Stöckchen, Rinde, dürres Gras usw.). Es ist auch keine Lüge, wenn hier mit heißem Wasser innerhalb von 5 Min. geworben wird - ich war selbst skeptisch, aber es funktioniert tatsächlich wahnsinnig schnell und das auch mit einem minimalen Einsatz von Brennstoff!Nachteile: Der Kocher ist sehr groß und wer allein unterwegs ist, sollte vielleicht doch ehr zu einer kleineren Variante greifen. Außerdem muss er nach jeder Anwendung gereinigt werden.Trotzdem ist er für seine Größe ausgesprochen leicht und sollte daher auch bei längeren Wanderungen kein Gewichtsproblem darstellen.Für mich ideal und eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

I wanted a much smaller one this is very easy to knock over! That said, it works very well, boils water very fast!
