How it Works:
The Kelly Kettle is essentially a double-walled chimney with the water contained in the chimney wall. For a heat source, it uses all natural fuel such as sticks, twigs, dry grass, pine cones, and bark. Once the camp kettle is filled with water, you simply start a very small fire in the base, set the kettle on the base, and then drop additional fuel (twigs, leaves, grass, paper, etc.) down the chimney. That's it. Once the fire is going, you'll have boiling water in minutes.
The Kelly Kettle originated on the Irish coast, so you better believe that it works well in wind and rain - in fact, it actually works better in wind so there is no need to find shelter when brewing up!

The Advantages of a Kelly Kettle compared to a fuel canister stove:
- No fuel to purchase
- No fuel to carry
- No continued operating costs
- No fuel lines to get plugged or cracked
- No igniters to get bent, broken, or plugged
- Works every time without fail - even in extreme weather
- You can take it with you when you travel on trains and planes
- Boils water in just a few minutes with very little natural fuel (uses a small handful of sticks, twigs, pine cones, bark, etc.)
- Environmental friendly. No canister to dispose of.
- In really bad weather, you can build up a bed of hot embers inside the kettle in a protected environment, out of the wind and rain. These embers can then be used to quickly build the camp fire
