The history of the Kelly Kettle®The
tradition of using the kettle as a method of boiling water at
lunchtime, goes back to the 1890's in the West Coast of Ireland and the
design has changed little since it was first introduced.Lough
Conn is famous for its free rising brown trout and fresh run Salmon from
the River Moy system. The lake provided (and still provides) ample fuel
for use in the kettle, where washed up twigs, sticks and dried grass
were easily available. On wet & stormy days, the local angling
guides would keep watch for the small pillar of smoke on the lake shore
which indicated that a colleague already had a 'brew' on! A hot cup of
tea or soup awaited anyone who landed and the Kettle would be repeatedly
boiled as additional boats laden with anglers arrived. Tradition
dictates that both the angling guide (Ghillie) and his guests (usually 2
anglers to his boat) together would gather dry tinder for the kettle
from the lake shore. Then, the Ghillie will set about boiling up the
kettle which always amazed guests as it works even in the height of a
storm! The Anglers will then be offered their fresh tea from the Kelly
Kettle and in return for his hospitality, the Ghillie received lunch and
perhaps a drop of whiskey from the anglers. The Kelly family
still provide a Boat Hire & Ghillie service on Lough Conn. Visiting
anglers are as intrigued today as they were some hundred years ago with
the speed at which the water can be boiled and through word of mouth,
these anglers have spread word about the kettles worldwide. To this day,
the Kelly-Kettle / Volcano-Kettle is still the centerpiece in any
campsite. If you have seen one in action, you will understand why! ![](http://www.kellykettleusa.com/skin/frontend/KellyKettle/Kelly/images/product-history.jpg)

Features
The Kelly Kettle Base Camp stainless steel camp kettle
boils approximately 54 oz of water at a time – that’s nine 6 oz. mugs
of water for camp coffee, tea or hot cocoa. The Kettle will bring water
to a boil within a matter of minutes. Suitable for use at your ‘base
camp’, car camping, scout camps, picnics, hunting, outfitters outposts.
The kettles are ideal for emergency preparedness kits, humanitarian aid
stations, or anyone working in the forests or the great outdoors.
Fire base and drawstring carrying bag
are included with each Kelly Kettle. The durable stainless steel fire
base inverts up into the bottom of the kettle to make the unit as
compact as possible for transport and storage.
The Green Whistle will
sound a nice loud whistle to let you know when the water has boiled.
Older Kelly 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, but the new camping kettle with whistle can be left in while the water is boiling.
Best Camping Kettle in Bad Weather
All Kelly Kettle products are the best kettle for camping
as they work extremely well in all weather conditions. They are a vital
piece of camping equipment for any outdoor adventure. Extremely
dependable as they have no moving parts to fail or break.
Burn All Natural Fuel
Never pack fuel again and save money.
The Kelly Kettles are cost free to run and eco-friendly as they use all
natural fuel such as twigs, dry grass, heather, birch bark, pine cones,
dry animal dung, etc. such as sticks, twigs. Add the Kelly Kettle Pot Support and Cook Set
to your gear and prepare small amounts of food like noodles, rice,
oatmeal, eggs, and hydrate food over the kettle while your water boils.
Boil water and cook food at the same time using only a handful of fuel!
Better yet, grab a Kelly Kettle Hobo Stove accessory and turn the fire base of your kettle into a stand-alone wood fueled camping stove. Be sure to check out our Kelly Kettle Ultimate Kit offerings for the best value on Kelly Kettles and all the accessories.
Remember: 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.
Kelly Kettle users have described their kettles as the “Greatest Invention of all Time”.
