Base Camp Stove Kettle 1.6L - Stainless Steel

The Kelly Kettle is a very clever and very effective combination of wood stove and kettle.

It is made up of two parts: the base, which serves as the firebox, and a double-walled kettle with a chimney running up through the middle.
Once the fire is going in the base, you simply set the kettle on top; the flames then pass up the chimney and very quickly heat the water held in the kettle.
To feed it, you just drop wood in through the top of the chimney.

You will be impressed by how quickly it comes to the boil! A few minutes are enough to boil 1.6 L of water, which makes the Kelly Kettle Base Camp very handy for a group.
And if there are a lot of you, you simply refill the kettle with water, put it back on the fire and you will very quickly have boiling water again.

Very welcome advantage of the Kelly Kettle: the soot stays in the chimney, so this system does not need cleaning after every use.

Two other sizes of Kelly Kettle exist:
The Kelly Kettle Scout 1.2L stainless steel, valued for its in-between size.
And a small version, the Kelly Kettle Trekker 0.6L stainless steel.

For more versatility the Kelly Kettle Base Camp 1.6L stainless steel stove-kettle can be combined with the following accessories:
- Cook Set Large, a cook set that stows inside the kettle
- Pot Support, a stand that lets you do a little cooking.
- Hobo Stove Large, turns the firebox into a small wood stove
- Cup Set, a pair of cups that stow inside the firebox
- Camping Plates, a pair of plates that stow inside the firebox

Worth noting: to work, the Kelly Kettle must always contain water.
The new green stoppers have a whistle that warns you when the water boils (the old orange or cork stoppers must always be removed while heating!).

The Kelly Kettle Base Camp 1.6L stainless steel will be much appreciated for camping, picnics, canoe trips, winter camps...

Olivier of Carnets d'Aventures has written a detailed review of the stainless steel Kelly Kettle Trekker. Please note that the model in that review (Trekker) is smaller (0.6L capacity).
