Great video, im building a similar sized one using spruce poles and cladding it in slab wood scraps from milling. Curious why you didnt add an inner wall liner to help with an up draft?

I just got a Kelly Kettle Scout but have been using a Solo Stove Lite or a FireBox Gen 2 titanium stoves when using wood as a fuel. Making a Swedish torch I do it differential. I split the solid piece into 4 pieces. Then turn the cut sections towards the out side with the rounded pieces facing inward. ( Think of a square box and it's 4 outside corners , the sharp section of the 4 pieces are facing each corner of that imaginary box.) This forms a natural ( central ) hole between the 4 pieces to light. What can say , I'm basically lazy and hate to constantly be feeding sticks into the stoves when cooking. With the Solo Stove , Lite or the Gen 2 firebox the wood is even with ( or just below ) the top of the burn chamber. Not sure about the height of the wood for the Kelly Kettle since I just got it and haven't used it.

Enjoyed your video! I have a grinder just like that and used it for the 1st time this year to break down some chunks - I found it amazing how it "smokes" out some powder when you remove the lid. I like how you wrapped the big Chaga chunk and broke it down into smaller chunks. That is something I will take away for my future Chaga harvests. Thank you for sharing your process.

As camper/prepper I've been looking at Kelly Kettle many years now, long before they have been more known in US. Haven't gotten one yet. But after seeing your video, I am encouraged that it is multiuseful in ever more practical ways. I was concerned cookingwise it would be either way too hot or not enough heat and not much good cooking time in between. But in seeing this video with the chunk of wood strategically used I feel more hopeful to own one. I own a larger rocket style stove and thinking this same technique can be used for that also, but larger piece of wood. Thank you so much for sharing! I learned so much and maybe I will buy the Kelly Kettle at last!!!

If you want to control the burn while using the Kelly Kettle, simply turn the air intake hole away from the direction of the wind. You can adjust it to whatever level you want it to burn by reducing the air intake that way.

I’m not sure why you’d do this with the Kelly Kettle as it will need to be full of water constantly to avoid melting. I will use this technique for the fire base as a grill though.

@AFamilyOutdoors3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment, the control module has to be kept warm or it will not take a charge. I'm also in west central Canada. This would work well if you took the module back and forth with you to your cabin (I assume you are using wood heat and the cabin would not be warm when you are gone) make sure to top it off before you head out and it will do the job. If you plan on leaving the control module there with no heat sadly it won't preform to your liking
