As there is no need to carry fuel, this kit will keep your pack light and save you money at the same time - never worry about running out of fuel again!
The durable steel fire base and cook set invert up into the bottom of the kettle to make the unit as compact as possible for transport and storage.
There are a couple of cooking options with the kit.
1) Use the pot-support to cook fast items like noodles, soup, popcorn, etc over the chimney of the kettle as the water comes to the boil.
2) Once the kettle has boiled, remove the kettle and drop the 2 piece grill set onto the fire base to grill chops, steak, sausages, chicken, etc. Or place a pot on the grill to do some simple cooking. Refuel the base with sticks etc, and cook for as long as you need!
Cost FREE to run! Simply gather deadwood, twigs, dry grass, pine cones or whatever natural fuel you find lying around in the area and you can bring 6 cups of water to the boil within a matter of minutes while at the same time (and using the same fuel) cook small amounts of food over the chimney (using the pot on the support) as the kettle boils. Hence, a very small amount of fuel will both boil your water for hot drinks, washing up, personal hygiene, etc. and cook your meal at the same time! This kit works in ALL weather conditions.
For more details on how best to use the Pot-Support and Cook set, please go to our Frequently asked Questions page. This kettle will easily and quickly boil water for a large group of people. If more than 1.6ltrs of water is required, simply refill the kettle with water, place it back on the fire base, re-fuel the chimney and your kettle will boil again within minutes.
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.
