Blackie: I'm glad to see you finally get around the Kelly Kettle. I've been using the KK for nearly twenty years, and I love it (I use the smaller Trekker model, which is more compact and practical for solo use. To avoid burning your hand when picking the kettle up, use two hands - one on each side of the bail - holding the bail horizontally to lift it off the fire bowl. Then use the stopper and chain to pour it.

[@ecttreker9816]

Exactly what I came here to say. 👍👍

[@kevingibbins3702]

The stand you showed off can also be placed on the top of the kettle so you can cook food in a pan or grill at the same time as boiling water.

[@kittenkiller10]

The pot stand can also be used on the top of the KK for intense cooking. When lifting the KK keep the handle at 90 degrees from the KK using two hands - don’t lift it directly upwards with your hand above the chimney. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@neilcastell6951]

had one a decade or so back ... great piece of kit, although i sold it because it was too bulky for hiking. As i recall they come from Scotland and Ireland ... were used by shepards, gamekeepers and ghillies as a quick way to brew up even in bad weather conditions ... the royal family were seen using them regular while fishing/shooting,

[@ahabstar]

I had a great uncle that had one and showed it to me back in the 70’s. As a kid I thought it was pretty neat as a small fire setup. Then he showed me how a canteen, enamel cups and some stakes made for a far easier setup and carry. I want to like the Kelly Kettle, but there is always a lighter, cheaper option. But if sticks were a rare commodity in a grassland, desert or bog environment then most definitely worth the carry. But the old Esbit stove handle twig fires just fine and is both cheaper and more packable.

[@100BearPaw]

It’s so massive, I couldn’t imagine using it for anything other than a shop where it was never needed to be carried.

[@fidel-3470]

I own the base camp Kelly Kettle - it works great, I LOVE the size because I've got plenty of water for cooking and cleaning in the morning, me and the lady and usually plenty of left over. I'm really looking at getting the smaller one (trekker) as well. I listened to an interview of a guy who brought one to combat in Ukraine, he said it was the most useful tool he brought, and that making tea after an artillery strike was the most important morale booster. I wanted it ever since I saw Nutnfancy's review years ago, and have now used mine for 2 years. In my experience, this is without a doubt the easiest water boiling system to use. I'm in western Oregon and you can imagine the weather gets wet, but the first time I used it and tested it was in a middle of a December rain storm, about 35 degrees, terrible rain, high winds. All it took was a couple cotton ball fire starters and wet twigs, and boy that water boiled. Most of the time you just need a couple twigs and 2 pine cones, you can keep adding fuel if you want a faster burn, you can also give it a nice boost of airflow on the bottom by blowing into it. It takes way less fuel than you'd expect. Disadvantage is of course weight - but it's also VERY dirty on the inside where the flame burns. This simply means you have to store it in the case/sleeve it comes in. Of course this means you've also got plenty of room for cotton balls and a bic lighter. One "hack" with this is that you can get a plug at an autoparts store to replace the whistle plug, this allows you to store water inside of the kettle on the move. This could be handy depending on your situation.

[@PopPop-pl8yn]

Makes a nice stealthy fire.

[@by_Wayne]

Hi Blackie, Glad to see my favorite base camp stove in action. One feature missed is the pot support stand when assembled also fits on top of the chimney to allow you to heat up a pot of beans or boil your hotdogs while you heat the water for your coffee. Most efficient use of fuel and quickest prep time. Another fuel source besides the pencil size sticks and pine cones is to use your trangia or other "Altoids" type alcohol stove inside the fire pot for zero smoke smell or chance of sparks. I've used this method during total fire bans (Trangia is not considered open flame, rates in with Propane stoves) in our parks and even on a picnic table in a city park for a quick lunch where there were no fire pits allowed. Keep up the great videos.

[@dthomas5281]

I’ve got the small one and so far it’s pretty impressive. Quality piece of kit. 👍👍

[@dananorth895]

Been thinking about the small kit for hiking, canoeing.

[@dthomas5281]

@@dananorth895 I think it would be great for canoeing. They can be a little heavy and bulky for hiking in my opinion. 👍👍

[@erikcornog9479]

I found an unused aluminum kelley kettle trekker at the flea mkt for 7 bucks and i love it. Its amazing how fast it boils the water. I ordered one of the hobo stoves for it and that also works very well.

[@johnacord6224]

Nice to meet you last week at the fairgrounds

[@jeffrichards5106]

I have seen the Kelly Kettles, nice system. Maybe one day I'll get one. 👍🏻

[@outdoor-suedost]

Hi Blackie! I love the kelly Kettle, I got in two sizes: the trekker and the Base Camp. They work very well and you can boil water really very quick. I think you missed the second use of the pot stand, because if you flip it over you can set it on the chimney so you are able to put the pot on it for cooking!! Thank you for sharing and all the best from Austria, Bernd 🇦🇹🤠👍🏕🔥

[@outbackowl3040]

Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos. They come in two different sizes, get the large one, they are verry good. Put a small Trangie in the bottom, just a thought.

[@kevchard5214]

I bought mine about 15 years ago and for short day trips on a ATV or walking or kayaking this the bees knees. Its a little to bulky for back packing but great when you are hunting Morels and need coffee or a freeze dried lunch.

[@jimkieninger8097]

Once again, a great video, Thank you Blackie!

[@Seamus3051]

Thanks for a very clear demo. Kelly kettles really aren't for backpackers, but are fine for car or canoe camping____ Cheers.

[@Idrivthetrain]

Love mine. Lots of canoe trips and camps with one.

[@terryszczudlik6466]

You can also use it to purify water.

[@DamianBloodstone]

I got the KK a few years back now. I purchased the stainless steel base camp because with it I got everything including plates and cups. I got it because I have no way to cook in a power outage except this device. the Trangia 27 kit or the solo stove I purchased later. If you purchase a fire screen cone, you can use it without the chance of sparks out the top. On the other side of this thinking, if you get the circle vents to control the heat escaping (like on most grills) you can even use a Trangia burner to heat the kettle, somewhat longer though. Take Care and Stay Safe, my friends.

[@jessemasonoutdoors]

After watching your video i may hafto pick one of those up and try it out!

[@MichaelR58]

Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

[@rickw9008]

Love the concept but it’s always seemed to take up too much space. I’ll stick with a collapsible Firebox stove and a Billy pot that I can stuff with additional things and it fits nicely in a small pack or haversack.

[@edwardknudsen4806]

Awesome piece of gear

[@user-eg7uw9ls4o]

😀👍

[@johnny56g]

BT this is the first time I’ve seen your legs 😊 I think from now on I’m going to call you “Ghost”. You know that i mean it as a term of endearment.

[@aaazzz5431]

Thank you once again Sir! Great piece of gear! Never seen or heard of one before and will get one now.

[@JBCaudillKnives]

They should put that handle on the side. Stationary.

[@ecolivelihoods]

The original Thermette has a handle on the side....a

[@MrAvidOutdoorsman]

Nice! You can feed tt through the pans hole too im guessing?

[@Arcahnslight]

Awesome! 👍

[@jeremiahyoder2259]

Have a good day blacky

[@smoothvern165]

Thanks for the nice demo of the Kelly Kettle. First time I’ve ever seen it in use!👍

[@bretjohnson6188]

First time for me, too! Fantastic idea, that kettle, but since most of my camping requires miles with a backpack, I will have to leave this to the car campers....

[@kimberlyschuhs5903]

Off topic, I was able to purchase remington #10 caps at Bass pro council bluffs IA today.(05/20/24). Hopefully this means caps are coming back into the market.

[@ecolivelihoods]

Blackie the origins of the Volcano Kettle is linked to the development of the Thermette in New Zealand prior to the Second World War. The Thermette predates the Kelly Kettle in manufacture. "The thermette, patented by Auckland electrical engineer John Hart in 1929, provided a quick and easy way to boil water outdoors. It comprises a cylinder surrounding a conical chimney on a stand that contains a fire plate. The cylinder holds water, and the tapered chimney heats the water to boiling point very fast. The contained fire allows the thermette to be used in all kinds of conditions. When the Second World War broke out in 1939 the New Zealand army asked Hart to waive the patent so it could make its own thermettes. He agreed, and the device became standard issue to units; soldiers dubbed it the 'Benghazi boiler'. Although the thermette is often used as an example of original New Zealand design, its concept was similar to 'volcano kettles', made by Irish gypsy tinsmiths since the mid-19th century." The NZ Army continues to use the Thermette. I have two original copper Thermettes which I have used for thirty years - I always have one behind my Land Rover seat when in the bush.

[@stewartrv]

According to the Keely Kettle company: "The first kettle dates back to the 1890's to a small farm on the shores of Lough Conn, County Mayo, Ireland, when a young Patrick Kelly (Great grand-father of the current Co. Directors), a small farmer and fisherman, developed his first kettle from Tin after a cold winter of tinkering and experimenting in a shed." So probably an Irishman went to NZ where it got patented some time after that... Of course it could all be a load of "Blarney" too 🤣 The UK has the Gillie kettle - very similar stainless steel that was a bit better quality (I had the Kelly Kettle stainless basecamp several years before I found one)

[@philippowell155]

Thanks for the additional information. The UK's original volcano kettle was made by a company called Sirram the manufacturers of high end picnic-ware and the wonderful alcohol burner roadside kettle systems and later electric car kettles. The unique feature of the Sirram volcano kettle (they reputedly worked closely with John Hart) was the conical water flask that fits inside the conical cavity of the Sirram volcano kettles to carry water into the field. Their kettles were originally copper (a superior material for boiling water) but soon converted to aluminium. They are beautifully made items of vintage camping equipment. They were and remain hugely popular with canoeists for cooking up a brew on a sandspit!

[@davidglazener7921]

You didn't actually video pouring in the water. Is there a mark showing how much to pour in? Good video.

[@kellydiver]

I have one of those, but I’ve never used it. I try to pack as light as possible, and I’ve never seen the point of carrying something that only boils water. I carry a pot that has multiple uses.

[@marcberg1260]

Nice, nice!!!!! 🙂

[@tjfm59]

here's a crazy thought from left field, take those activated charcoal hand warmers. put 2 -3 -4 in the fire bowl for a overnight heating of the water. so in the morning you got a pot of hot water waiting. how practical this is???? don't know.

[@scottcatchot1598]

Saw stuff on Kelly kettle yearsago, but never got arouhd to getting one

[@JeganBedpal]

From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Kerrie Farrell, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.....

Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience....

I rather invest my money on crypto. Bitcoin trading is great unlike the stock market and other financial markets, bitcoin has no centralized location , since it operates 24hrs in different parts of the world...

The fact that i got to learn and earn from her program is everything to me think about it, it's a win win for both ways...

[@peetsnort]

People are lazy or just dont have skills to make their own equipment. I made this little fire holder thats very versatile. The handle stays cool because of the low conductivity of khantal wire. This is key to moving the fire around. The rest is just air control. Raise up for hot burning and flat on the sand for simmer. Here's what it looks like. kzbin.infog_m2LNOg5zA?feature=shared. When you've finished with the fire or charcoal you can just bury the whole thing in a hole in the ground to snuff it for re use. Its such a simple thing yet ive had massive success with it. At home i light the charcoal with gas and can cook a steak in 15 minutes from scratch. I even take it to Greece on holiday for hassle free BBQ.

[@reneschaap8091]

goedenavond Blackie !!👍

[@rendezvous5784]

How much water does it hold?

[@Peter-od7op]

What the price

[@JohnDoe-qw4gc]

Blackie, for someone who spends as much outdoors as you, you sure have some white legs, lol.

[@teddahrable]

As nice a video as this was, you missed some pretty good tips that make this the great piece of kit. You did what most everyone I've ever seen use this do. Forgot the pot stand in the chimney, great way to cook, and there is no need for the tent stakes ... It's obvious you haven't used this much. And ... the part on the back that you said is a heat stand-off, where the chain is hooked? THAT'S where you hook the stopper instead of tossing it in the dirt or on your truck hood. I watch your videos and generally find them to be informative, but, sorry, this one looks like you really didn't prepare for a review, and I guess that's why you called it an unveiling. Neither you nor the owner have used this kit enough to rate being able to demo it. If you had, the first thing you would have said is, "This is NOT for hiking or backpacking!". I've had the basecamp model for nearly 10 years. It is an EXCELLENT piece of gear for canoing, skiing, car camping, sledding, basically anything that involves not carrying it, but BUT for taking with you when your wife wants to go for a walk on Sunday afternoon and, "Why don't you bring that kettle I gave you?". Thanks for the video, Blackie. Reminds me that i need to take mine out again.

[@Rando-user-zm1fx]
