I have a friend who lives in Thailand nearby the Thai/Burma border. There are several refugee camps in the area and he visits them often to donate supplies to families and gives candy to the kids too. He got me to send him a Kelly Kettle a while ago to use in the jungle trekking or fishing. He noticed that the kids were often treated to cheap ice creams by the adults and decided to start a little project. He gets the kids to collect all the old lolly sticks they can find and pays thm a small amount for them. He said that they are ideal fuel to use in his KK. He also uses toilet tissue to get his fire started as its cheap and burns easily. He said that the standard size of KK is taller than the trekker and is not as stable, so he prefers the largest camp size as its base is wider and more stable.

Whenever I'm able to go to my favorite sushi restaurant, I always save the disposable bamboo chopsticks 🥢and break them in half. They make awesome fuel for the Kelly and so do the disposable bamboo coffee stirrers at Manhattan Bagel. Bamboo is better than most hardwoods because its high density gives you a longer and hotter burn. Toilet tissue does make good tinder, but saturating it with Vaseline makes it even better. The hobo stove bottom is a pretty decent design that allows you to start a fire in all but the worst weather conditions. Patrick Kelly had some serious gray matter to invent something like this in the late Victorian Era!

So funny, at the beginning I thought you were dropping sticks into your water. I have never seen one of these before. Thanks for the great video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music while you're talking.

Thanks for posting this. Never saw a kelly kettle before. Having been caught in blizzards in the Colorado Rockies before, when driving for work, I keep a rocket stove and a single burner backpack stove with basic utensils, pots, cups, and a couple days worth of food in my truck. I'm thinking one of their Scout kettle sets would make a great replacement for that setup as instead of having all these separate bags, I could have it packed into one sack. Would still have the backpack stove as it's possible to get caught in a blizzard on the plains where there's no wood source. Plus, the chimney up the center would allow it to heat up faster. One time I took a back road as the main highway was getting clogged. 5 minutes after I got off the highway, traffic came to a stop because of accidents. Some people were stuck for 30 hours and the national guard had to come out and bring food and water to the stranded motorists. This is why I travel prepared (also carry snowshoes, a sleeping bag, and some other supplies)

Very good review. I like the fact that you have used it over the past year before doing a review. It means much more than when someone just takes a new piece of gear out of the box and declares that it is a great bit of gear without any testing or use. I like the idea of the Kelly Kettle and it works fast in all types of weather but for my style of hiking and camping it would be a little too bulky for me. My friend has one he keeps in the box of his ATV. He loves it and I have seen it in use. For him it is ideal. Thanks for your honest review.....Take care, Bluefin.

I’ve had & used all 3 sizes of the Kelly Kettle over a number of years. They have always worked well & I still have & use all 3. Always reliable. Unfortunately, the last one I purchased ( the stainless Scout model) a year & a half ago for my son, split & began to leak at the inner seam. Years ago I had purchased him the stainless Trekker model which is still working beautifully. I had been purchasing the larger ultimate kit systems for family members as emergency systems until now. He was disappointed & so was I. These Used to be our most reliable & easy to use, go to systems. When they aren’t defective these were awesome & very reliable emergency or camping cook systems. We were recommending them to friends & family for years.

Sorry to hear about your bas experience. I hope it is not an indication of declining quality. I know Kelly Kettle has been great about responding to my queries. I would think they will make things right for you

Hi Mark, great video and well presented. Many thanks. I have the stainless steel Trekker model also. Yes, the hobo stove can be fiddly as it appears not to breath properly. Remove the pan and the fire will quite often then pick up. Like you say, the fire tends to give a lower heat output when used like this. However, to bring the fire back up, just put the kettle back on the base. One point, any water used for a meal is first heated up in the kettle, then poured into the pot. This gives your stew or whatever a head start, especially if the pot has a lid. Like you say, it does not use a great deal of wood to boil and cook with this, which must be a plus, but sticks the diameter of a pencil or thinner seem the ideal fuel. Thicker sticks can be used, but do not seem to burn so well. It could be due to the small size of the fire box. They work fine in my base kettle model. Thanks for the video Mark, ATB.

Mark, i’m a little late to the game, but I thoroughly enjoyed your Kelly kettle review. I also viewed your Petromax video, and was in quite a quandary until I realized that the hobo stove for the Kelly kettle really allows someone to take the water kettle off, while still being able to cook with a skillet on the hobo stove. I tend to think that using the flame coming out of the top of either kettle is a bit top-heavy, and somewhat dangerous looking. I would even feed sticks through the vent holes in the fire base rather than through the top of the kettle, both for safety sake, and to make sure that no pieces of wood fall out to create a fire hazard when the kettle is lifted off the fire base. I have just placed an order with Kelly Kettle for the Scout, pot stand, and hobo stove, and have you to thank for that! Happy trails!

Mark, thank you for the review. Seasons greetings and Happy New Year to you and your family. I’ve had an aluminum Trekker for several years and it is one of two stoves I use in windy, inclemment weather. The other being my Trangia Duossal 25 kit. I’ve had good success with found combustible matter, even rolled up cardboard to boil water. I do plan on experiencing charcoal briquettes or lump coal as well as wood pellets. The wood pellets I will probably use with a mesh wire enclosure as I think that these will need some air between the pellets and the sides of the fire base. I have replaced the aluminum base with the stainless steel base as I’ve heard of aluminum bases melting with more intense fires. Still learning and being creative cooking with my Trekker.

One daily newspaper torn and twisted into tight pieces and packed inside the funnel when lit will boil a full kettle of water in 5 or 6 minutes. They will burn most anything in an emergency any weather. Almost any inflammable liquid in the bottom container will do the same,though may be a little messy.

If you can overcome your resistance to the size and weight, it will become an invaluable asset on the trail or in an SHTF-style emergency.

Having two regular portable rocket stoves and two full sized Kelly Kettles, I can say that the Kelly Kettle is probably the best compromise of multi functions of boiling water, cooking using the frying pan on the pot stand and the efficiency of running on small twigs and tinder. I stuff things like the knife, fire starter cubes, vaseline, lighters, etc inside the chimney. Now if they could only whip up some foldable coffee filter into another cup, that would be the ultimate.

Totally agree! I have an update video on the Trekker coming and I am now working with the Base Camp model. Love it. Thanks for commenting

I have the Scout (the medium one) and absolutely love it. I wouldn’t necessarily be lugging it on long hikes but for short ones and car camping it’s perfect!

Using the base camp model, I found transitioning from kettle to hobo stove would result in the some difficulty, especially if my sticks fed through the top were too long, now I just boil the kettle with the stove inside ready. Also, when my hobo stove has trouble with non perfect wood, I add the kettle (with water) on the top to give it a one minute kickstart. Great review, I purchased the trekker prior to your well thought out video because I know how good these things are. What is more versatile than a whole kitchen you can power with found-biomass? Glad your video and more importantly your experience was able to confirm my decision to purchase a second model. Thank you and God bless you.

Hi Mark, a new subscriber here. A thoughtful review and great delivery. I just purchased a trekker model and am anxious to try it out ice fishing. Thank you for your effort. Regards, Wayne

Thank you so much for subscribing. I really like using the Trekker in winter conditions. I will suggest insulating the base off the ice as it will affect the fire in the base. It will also melt into the ice and may tip the kettle. Thanks for commenting

I've just got one. They are excellent. Boils as quick as my home electric kettle.

A superb invention. You can shorten the packed height by around 2 inches by inverting the firebase and inserting it up inside the kettle. Took me months of use to work that one out !

Thanks for the great demo. I am hoping to hike the AT in April 2023. I am still weighing my equipment options both literally and figuratively. The practicality of this stove providing hot water to either sterilize questionable water or reconstitute dried food is a real bonus. I think if the Kelly company people were to come out with a titanium model, long-distant hikers might catch onto its utility.

Weight is everything on a through hike. KK did tell me they were considering a hard anodized aluminum version. That would be worth considering. I have also been able to to carry water in the KK with the plug. This makes it a bit double-duty and less bulky. Thanks for commenting

As always i enjoyed the video, your review pretty much confirms what i was thinking when deciding to buy this item, mine arrives in anout 5 days. This has been in my buy later list for some time looking forward to doing some hikes with it. I doubt I'll use the grate and the pot i think ill use to hold dehydrated veggies for quick soups, it should hold enough for 2-3 portions of the dehydrated stuff. I love the old style thats lasted the test of time, and i love that it's a rocket that turns into a hobo stove.

I’ve just received a Kelly kettle ( the largest- there’s 4 adults here) and accessories to keep as an emergency aid at home and am pleased with how robust it appears. I need to actually try it out and get used to it so an emergency isn’t the first time I try it out! Especially regarding lifting and pouring the kettle. Thank you.

Thank you for a great review, my wife just gave me a kelly kettle for Christmas the Base camp model 1.6 liter I wanted the bigger size, I travel by kayak, and canoe so the size and weight, is not a big deal for what it can do.

Great Christmas gift. The larger Base Camp makes a lot of sense when you have a canoe or other way of transporting it. Thanks for commenting

I use the base model in my camper van for fast repetitive boiling, 1.5 litres of water at a time from free twigs, for generating large quantities of hot water for washing up greasy dishes pots and pans, rather than hitting the on board butane, boiling water is one of the biggest consumer of your onboard gas. Top tips ... small piece of cotton wool 'tinder' with your ferro rod of choice for igniting, tiny bottle of diesel .. sprinkle a little on your dry kindling for rapid initial burn, this will get locally sourced damp twigs' going on a wet wintery day. Only if using the stainless steel model .. can use one, briquet or one, piece of charcoal if you're doing repetitive heating of water just to keep one 'hot coal' going in the base, cos this kettle will rip through your free fuel and leave you with nothing left burning in the base, if not fed. And finally the ferro rod fire starter and tinder are a source of fascination, and useful occupation for the kids, collecting twigs of just the right size and dryness. In our world of throwaway gadgets ... something that lasts ...
