A highly efficient Stainless Steel Outdoor camp Kettle (the fire base is also stainless steel) which is suitable for Trekkers, Hikers, Kayakers, Backpackers, Bikers, and all outdoors enthusiasts who need to keep their pack light. Also suitable for Car Camping and Wilderness Survival Kits / Disaster Kits.
This lightweight kettle fits neatly into a Rucksack or Backpack.
As there is no need to carry fuel, these kettles will keep your pack light and save you money at the same time - never worry about running out of fuel again! Using any naturally occuring solid fuel (sticks, pine cones, dry camel dung! etc.) this kettle will operate perfectly well, even in a storm and will bring 2 Mugs of water to a rolling boil within a matter of minutes. If more hot water is required (this kettle will easily boil water quickly for a party of 4-6 people), simply refill the kettle and place it back on the fire base and refuel the chimney again. The kettle will be boiled again within a matter of minutes where water can be used for more hot drinks, boil-in-the-bag, bathing, washing up, etc. A wonderful piece of camping equipment.
Note: Add our Pot-Support & Cook set to prepare small amounts of food (Noodles, Rice, Oatmeal, hydrate food, etc) over the kettle while your water boils. Boil and cook at the same time using only a handful of fuel! Or better still, add our Hobo Stove accessory to turn the fire base of your kettle into a stand-alone wood fuelled Camping Stove. See our Accessories Category for these products.
Fire Base & Drawstring carrying bag are included as standard with each Kelly Kettle. The durable steel fire base inverts up into the bottom of our kettles to make the unit as compact as possible for transport and storage.
Please note: The Kettle has been designed to boil water extremely fast in all weather conditions using very little fuel. When filled with water, the Kelly Kettle should always be carried upright to avoid any spillage/leakage from the water spout or chimney top.
Older Kettles may have an Orange Rubber or Cork Stopper. These MUST ALWAYS be removed before using the kettle. The Kettle must never be boiled with these older stoppers in the spout.

The Kelly Kettle Trekker works as promised. Kekotin likes thin sticks, finger-thick ones start to produce smoke over time. An experiment in -20 degree heat showed the need for a funnel to more conveniently pour snow from the opening to be melted. It quickly made 600ml of boiling water out of snow (estimated 10 min, I didn't look at the clock), but with a more efficient filling, that time would have been shortened considerably. The draw in the fire pit is amazing and if you get the fire started, it will burn happily as long as there is something to burn. And with transitions, the following fuels can fit inside the pipe, when you have to collect more than you need during the previous burning. The dish cools down very quickly after burning for packaging.

Smart widget. The world's fastest way to boil water; at least with the aluminum version. It otherwise requires really little wood to boil half a liter of water! And the bet is impossible because of the round and long “barrel”. These new versions have a viscous cap that doesn't explode like the old reds .. however, I removed the cap myself before use.
Alunen then heats up seriously so don't burn the table tops.
Personally, I hate gas cookers because of their draft and the sensitivity of the frost, as well as the small, fast-empty disposable cartridges.
the riser / boiler combination works, of course, but nowhere near the original heather invention!
