Where abouts were you? So few places round here allow you to have a fire. ☹️

I have a little pump (came of one of the kids toys) that I use with mine brilliant for getting it going and reviving it when the fires died down. 👍

Mine just arrived in the mail. Got the basecamp model "ultimate" kit, so it has the hobo stove, the cooking grate, pot, plates, cups, etc. I probably don't need all that for myself if I'm using my mess kit with the kettle, but I figured it would be good if I went camping with friends.

Thanks, great video. I've been using Kelly Kettles for years. Have a few of them. One tip is to stuff the chimney full of sticks (fallen birch twigs fallen are best), then add water and place on the base with a small bit of tinder burning. Gives you some time to take in the lovely scenery.

I purchased a Ghillie kettle last year just before the winter price hike with the intention of using it if we had power and gas cuts which never happened thank the heavens ( mind you I did have my portable gas stove with enough gas canisters to last the whole winter my meths trangiant stoves again with enough fuel to last quite a while and my Mk 2 Swedish paraffin stove with a couple of gallon of paraffin) I think I had enough to survive 😀. I can't wait to try out my Ghillie kettle hopefully this year . Your carry handle lugs if you wish you could streathen them by getting some stainless steel folks or spoons from the charity shop 10 P upwards cut drill and bend them in to shape and then solder them in to place with a specialist rod you can obtain of ebay or Amazon the only other bit of kit you need is a blow torch up 1100 f Jobs a good en .

So what happens with the burning material down the centre of the Kettle Ant? Just falls out the bottom? I always thought it a bit cumbersome to carry about and weighty though in a canoe I suppose that's not an issue unless you need to portage. I need to get back up the highlands soon.
