KELLY KETTLE®

This totally amazing piece of camp kitchen gear will boil water in 3 to 5 minutes using small, dry wood chips, twigs or even dry grass and pine cones to make a quick, hot fire that boils water fast. Dave says "The Kelly Kettle has been around for about 100 years and is used a lot in New Zealand where I first saw it. Our guides used it every day to make hot tea for us on the river. This is my 32nd year using my Kelly Kettle and I wouldn't go anywhere without it."

The Kelly Kettle is a dry fuel fired water boiler that is light and compact. The Kelly Kettle is available in three sizes. The large Aluminum unit holds 54 fl ounces of water and will bring it to a boil in 3 to 5 minutes or less.
Dave says "I recommend the large unit for every camping situation except for solo backpackers.. The large unit will boil enough water to make coffee or soup for 4 to 6 people, depending on how big your mugs or bowls are."

Add our Pot-Support & Cook set to cook small amounts of food (Noodles, Rice, Oatmeal, Re-hydrated food, Soup, etc.) over the kettle while your water boils.

DINK'S TIPS:
I frequently eat Mountain House meals on my Water Strider raft river float trips. With the insulated cup system I just place a freeze dried meal in the large 34 ounce cup, add boiling water from the Kelly Kettle, stir and snap the lid on. In about 30 minutes I stir again and have a wonderful hot meal. Eat well and have fun! - Dave
 
Food Safe ROPE and PULLEY If you are camping in bear country you should stow all your food at least 15 feet about the ground, preferably between two small trees.  Use this rope and pulley system for raising your food cache high and out of reach of the most persistent bear or other camp invading critter.

DINK'S TIPS:
To get a fast hot fire in the Kelly Kettle use your Water Strider raft foot pump to pump air through the air vent at the bottom of the fire box. Just put the hose adapter by the hole (not to close though cause you don't want to melt the adapter). Hold it in place with a rock and gently pump air through the air hole and presto; you will have a roaring hot fire and boiling water very fast. This is a great method on rainy days or with poor, wet fuel that won't easily burn. - Dave
