    Nice review I have a big Kelly Kettle and love it. I think though I might be wrong the Kelly Kettle is only marketed to temporally carry water from water source to heat only. Being a canoeist I’ve never had a need to carry water in the kettle so just use it for heating. There’s something very pleasing about making a hot drink in the wild with these kettles whatever one you get. I love it especially when the wife carry’s the kettle Its nice to see a company not take teh hump at a review which points out a point lol

    I love my Kelly too. It's not right for every occasion but when there's a crowd it's great for getting lots of bews done.

    To throw another kettle into the mix, I use the storm f1 kettle. British made, spout, more stable base than the mkettle IMO.

    I've used it with twigs, pine cones, sticks and the trangia. :thumbup:

    Hi all, I added a comment earlier in this thread and prompted by someones comment that you can cook over a kelly,
    I found a universal trivett (easily made) which fits loads of stoves and you can pop on a pot or frying pan, it fits trangia & tatonka meths stoves, the top or the bowl of the Mkettle, the kelly and Ghillie top (too small for the bowl) probably others which I don't own.
    It's a nice light useful addition Name:  Trivett.jpg

    PS. I made one from aluminium first but had forgotten the anealing process, after a couple of uses it still worked fine but became very very bendy and easily damaged.
