They are a cool design, thanks for sharing.

The design is brilliant! With the thinnest area of the chamber closest to the hottest part of the fire, and tapering out as it rises, it's no wonder that boiling happens so fast.

Always fun to get out and fire up and enjoy some good 'ol fresh air! Very nice indeed!

The weather has cleared a bit from the constant rain we've had recently. It was indeed nice to get outside and away from the work bench.

Hello from Denmark. I've had a Kelly Kettle for more than 10 years and take it with me on long drives to boil water for a cup of coffee. I bring a bag of wood wool, some sawdust and some dry pencil-thick/long pieces of firewood for kindling. I light the fire bowl and when the fire is going, I put the kettle with water on and fire through the chimney of the kettle, so that the flames extend up over the kettle. On tent trips, where there is more time, it is ok to use dry branches from nature. The Kelly Kettle is impressively efficient at boiling water. It is also excellent for frying a fried egg and bacon or roasting a sausage, but for more time-consuming preparations I take the kettle off and place the grates on the roasting dish and fire into the side of the dish. A trick to pack everything together in the bag can be to turn the boiler upside down and place the fire bowl with pot and pan at the bottom of the boiler, place the grates on the pan and pull the bag halfway on, turn the boiler over, let the handle hang down, pull the bag all the way on, place the cross plates between the tap and the boiler. Then it takes up the least amount of space. A cloth to wrap around the grid prevents holes in the bag.

@perkirkgaardlemming720 Thanks for the great tips on packing the kettle! The design is certainly genius for boiling efficiency. Thanks for watching!
