Submit Your TestimonialBonjour. What truly impressed me is the versatility and durability. It performed flawlessly, even after a full day of outdoor activities. We used it to prepare hot drinks, soups, and even rehydrate some camping meals. It became a talking point among fellow campers, who were curious about our kettle and I am sure you got some new customers. If you're an outdoor enthusiast who loves camping, fishing or hiking, this beast is the ultimate gear you didn’t know you needed! HansSeptember 21, 2024
Whether we were boiling water for morning coffee or heating up soup after a long day of hiking, it delivered stellar performance every time. The clever designs make the kit easy to pack and along with the customer service it has been one of my best camping purchases. Thank you. Eric, VancouverMarch 14, 2024
I wholeheartedly recommend the Kelly Kettle to any outdoors enthusiast—it's a game-changer that will elevate your camping and hiking experiences to a whole new level!November 27, 2023
Hi, We recently had the pleasure of taking our Kelly Kettle kit on a week-long camping trip and I can have to say it transformed our outdoor experience! From the moment we set up camp, the kettle became the centerpiece of our adventures. Its compact design made it easy to pack, and within minutes of lighting the fire, we had boiling water for our morning coffee and could easily make instant meals. Whether we were fishing by the lake or hiking through the woods, it was a perfect companion. Martin & Tess Harkin, Happy Campers, Canada!August 23, 2023
"The Kelly Kettle has been part of my family life for as long as I can remember. My late father was a huge fan and it was he who sparked the passion in all of us. It seemed magic that the kettle would start anywhere, in a field, on a windswept beach (sometimes burning dried seaweed) then provide us with a very welcome boiling hot cup of tea - apparently in moments! The whole process was a source of deep fascination to us as children, the ritual of finding a few dry twigs, the first match followed by a roaring volcano (which smelt so sweet) and finally the thrilling boiling steamy water. As a family we now have regular Kelly Kettle parties, with 4 or more kettles all on the go at once providing hot drinks then vegetarian sausages and beans. Kettle parties are held in woods, on beaches, in gardens, anywhere we can get the family to gather. A kelly kettle is given as a gift almost as a rite of passage as our children grow up. My wife and I keep the kettle with us when gardening so we can stop for a fresh cuppa when we need refreshment. I am now teaching my latest son Sam (aged 2) the hidden arts of kelly kettling. Thank you Kelly Kettle for providing us with so much pleasure over the years!"June 30, 2022
To the Kelly Kettle folks. Im in the bush alot fishing and have been using a small alcohol burner for quite sometime. I had a pretty bad incident last year and spilt the burning stove all down one leg. I got burnt pretty severely. So i decided i needed to look for something different for my coffee breaks and cooking of meals that you just pour hot water on.I found out about the Kelly Kettle on a UK camping/fishing site via the net. I ended up purchasing a small one from a dealer of yours (Lee Valley Tools) here in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I am so impressed with this little unit. It goes everywhere i go now. I love the idea that a company can be over a 100 years old and still family run. Especially with a simple but effective product. I'm most impressed. David D., CanadaJuly 1, 2019
Please see attached 2 photos, that show your product performing fantastically in -5 degC. The fuel I used was recovered from the woods around the frozen lake; A bit of crunched up news paper, some leaves and plenty of recovered twigs and small branches. Ironically the gas and meths stoves that I carry in my car as back ups would not ignite. The water still boiled inside five minutes. Your Kelly kettle is without doubt one of the most efficient and practical stoves I have owned in over 30 years of outdoor living, thank you. Regards Kevin AmairaJuly 12, 2018
"An outfitter introduced me to the Kelly Kettle while I was canoe tripping in northern Scotland a few years back. I got a quick boil going during a very soggy downpour. I fell in love with this stove then and there and haven't looked back since. I pack the smaller Trekker model on most canoe trips I do in Canada and use the Base Camp model for trips when there will be less need for packing and portaging, especially winter trekking. The Hobo Stove also goes with me on every trip. It's one of the best stick stoves around, adding incredible versatility to my cook system."July 3, 2018
I'm really impressed that Kelly Kettle doesn't require you to bring fuel and that you never run out of it. Just to go picking some more sticks and you have a solution that works indefinitely. It's therefore also very environment friendly. Love it!July 5, 2017
I love my Kelly Kettle!August 14, 2016
