No running costs.
No open fire: the fire is contained within the kettle itself.
Extremely efficient boiler that works in all weather conditions.

The addition of the ‘Cook Set’ and 'Pot Support’ has greatly enhanced the appeal of the Kelly Kettle to all users. The Kettle has now become a one-stop kitchen for all outdoor enthusiasts. Extend the usability of your Kelly Kettle with the additional of the cook set.

The cook set can be used in two ways:

1. When the Kelly Kettle boils, remove the kettle from fire base and place the 2 grill pieces onto the fire base. Then simply place your pot or pan on the grill pieces for cooking, adding additional fuel to the fire base as required. Fuel can be inserted through the air hole in the side of the base.

2. Using the pot support certain foods can be cooked quickly over the chimney of the Kelly Kettle as it boils, thus ensuring maximum fuel and time efficiency. Note: as the heat is intense, you will need to stir your food regularly.

During transport, the cook set can be stored neatly inside your 2.5 pint Kelly Kettle ensuring maximum space saving.

The pack includes:
2 Piece Grill Set
Saucepan
Frying Pan & Handle
Weight: 0.57 lb / 0.258 KG


Cook set comprises of 1 shallow pan (frying pan), 1 deeper pan, handle, and grill set (suitable for toast).

The pot support goes onto the kelly kettle and the pans sit on the support.

A Kelly Kettle will boil water in 3 to 5 minutes depending on the fuel you're using. It's made from aluminum and it is essentially a double-walled chimney with the water contained in the chimney wall. Once the kettle is filled with water, simply start a very small fire in the base, set the kettle on the base and drop additional fuel (twigs, leaves, grass, paper, etc.) down the chimney.

The large internal surface area of the chimney heats the water very quickly. When the water boils, hold the Handle at an angle of 90° to the Kettle - then lift the Kettle clear of the base. To pour, lift it by the handle and tilt it using the cork chain.
The Kelly Kettle is easy to use. We recommend that you follow the following five steps when using your Kettle:
Remove base from the bottom of the kettle and place the base on level ground – flat side down. Fill base with combustible material such as newspaper, dry grass or very small tinder.

Remove protective cork from kettle and fill kettle with water. Do not replace the cork. Then place the kettle securely on the base.

Light fire through the hole(s) in side of the base and face into wind for extra draught.
Insert additional fuel through the chimney (use small twigs for best results).

When the water boils, hold the handle at a 90° angle to the body of the Kettle – then lift Kettle clear of the base. Use handle and chain for pouring.



NOTE:
Never hold the handle above the chimney when the kettle is lit.
Always keep children away from the kettle when in use.
Use surplus water to extinguish fire
