Kelly Kettle Stainless Steel Base Camp 1.5 Litre
(Approx $63.1915)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Base Camp is the largest model in the Kelly Kettle range with an impressive 1.6l water capacity. This increased size makes the Base Camp Kelly Kettle suitable for groups and ideal for Forest School classes as well as Bushcraft courses, camping and fishing trips and many more outdoor activities. Despite its large capacity (which is the equivalent of around 6 mugs of water), this large camping kettle weighs just over 1kg so remains highly portable.
Kelly Kettles have zero running costs and boast carbon neutrality, you can use any naturally occurring solid fuel (sticks, dung, dried leaves etc.) to fuel them. This has the additional benefit of ensuring you never run out of fuel while in the wilderness. Where portability is a key consideration (especially when trekking over long distances fuel no longer needs to be carried from site-to-site and can simply be found whenever it is required.
Thanks to the innovative design, Kelly Kettles (which are often referred to as Storm Kettles) can be used in virtually all weather conditions. The burning fuel is protected from strong winds and rain to ensure it keeps burning efficiently and heats water in a matter of minutes. This ensures that a cup of tea is never far away even in the most testing of weather conditions (when it is needed the most!)
Whatever your outdoor activity, whether you are a keen bushcrafter, host forest school classes or simply want a quick and effective outdoor kettle for your camping trip, fishing excursion or picnic then there is a Kelly Kettle to suit you. These latest model stainless steel kettles now boast a rivet free design opting, instead, for an all-welded design which helps improve long-life reliability.
Now comes with whistle which replaces the orange stopper!

Review By david ayers
"This is a beautifully made piece of kit, and a classic design. I have only had it a few days, but I have tested it out on a gas hob, and it worked really quickly. You just need to believe the warnings about it getting very hot all round (repeated all over the packaging & on the kettle) and not think, that somehow that's only for wimps. A burn is a burn. It is as hot on the top of the kettle as if you put your hand in the fire itself. My hand attests to that fact. I noticed in a documentary, that The Queen uses one of these when she picnics. So it can't be shabby. "

"I purchased 2 stainless steel 1.6L Kelly kettles to replace our aging 2.5 pint aluminium ones which were beginning to leak after years of sterling duty. The new ones have a rubber bung as opposed to the old cork ones and they boil in a much quicker time. I have had comments back from my volunteers that the water is hotter than with the aluminium kettles. Great purchase. Great product."
