Kelly Kettle – Cook and Boil Water with Minimal Fuel

What's a Kelly Kettle?

The Kelly Kettle makes it quick and easy to boil water with minimal fuel in about 3 to 5 minutes. With the items in these kits, you can also use the Kelly Kettles for cooking and grilling. The Kelly Kettle was developed by the Kelly family in Ireland over 100 years ago, so they have some experience building these handy items.

Any natural fuel can be used – from pine cones and sticks to dried dung (although I'd probably skip grilling over the dung…). Just build a fire in the base, put kettle in place, light it up, and in a matter of minutes you have boiling water. They work great in extreme weather conditions because the fire is protected by the Kelly Kettle.

No fuel to carry, light and compact, this is a great piece of gear for:

• Campers
• Back Packers and Hikers
• Kayakers
• Scouts
• Fisherman and Hunters

And of course – Emergency Preparedness and Survival Use.

You can check out the Kelly Kettle in action in the video below. With the compact size and small amount of fuel used, I bet my brother could even use this in his hunting blind during deer season.
