CANOE TRIP with Kelly Kettle

"Hello Patrick,
I’m writing to share with you my experience using a Kelly Kettle. My son and I spent 10 days canoeing in and around Isle Royale National Park. If you aren’t familiar with the park, it’s a very isolated island in Lake Superior and is approximately 60 miles from the mainland of Michigan.
I began by storing the kettle in the stern of my canoe with a bungee cord. Due to the minimal weight of the kettle, I was able to keep it secured in the canoe during our portages, which were many.  Due to the relatively large size of the kettle, the ability to store it in the canoe at all times was important.  As far as the performance of the kettle…it was fantastic.  The “firing up” of the kettle soon became an anticipated part of our daily routine.  I should mention that “open” fires are not allowed on Isle Royale but twig fires are acceptable.  With the exception of cooking fish in a frying pan, I had no need for my propane stove.  I will be taking my Kelly Kettle on all future trips!  If I may offer one suggestion, it would not be with the kettle itself but rather the carrying bag, by the end of the trip it had failed at the bottom seam.

I thought I would share with you some photos of my kettle in action (please see attachments).  Speaking of photos, I feel the image of a Kelly Kettle in action is as a very powerful image. Aside from the great design, I think it was all of the images on your old site that sold me.
Again, thanks for a great product and one that generates a lot of interest wherever I take it.

Regards, 
Gary"

P.S. If you look closely at the image of the canoe you can see the kettle inverted and secured in the stern area.

Testimonial

Two years ago I moved from Ontario to Newfoundland to enjoy the outdoors of life.  Soon after I was at a meeting of a few good freinds, down by a river that opens to the mouth of the ocean, when a friend pulls out this kettle type thing.  Right away after seing it, I knew I had to have one.  This one had been in the family and passed down a generation and still worked like a charm, I couldnt believe it !
I asked what is it ?? with a reply of a KELLY KETTLE !
I ordered one from you right away, and have been using it ever since, outings in the bush, by the water, on the ice fishing .. just stop and have a coffee anywhere !!!
I LUV IT and would tell anyone who loves the outdoors to get one, you will never ever regret it !

Thanks again !

"Dear Kelly Kettle Comapny,

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your product.  I ordered the large kit instead of the medium one, due to availability, but I am glad that I did.  Although a little large for backpacking, it's very light and I was able to store a few additional items inside the chimney.

I was able to boil 50 US fluid ounces of water fater than my friends gas stove could boil 16 and there was enough water for a couple MRE's or a bunch of coffees.  The quality is also amazing.  Each seam is well made and the bottom is pressed together about an inch up make certain it won't leak.

Thanks for your great product and quick answers to my questions.  I will likely be buying the small kettle as well for future backpacking trips.

Thanks again."

 "Dear Patrick & Seamus,

I wanted to take a moment to express my total satisfaction with  the 'Kelly Kettle'.  I, along with five others took and eight day adventure ride on motorcycles and we all raved over the kettle.  It was very convenient even though it was alittle larger than the gas fuel type stoves that the other had brought, I didn't have to pack extra fuel.  The advantage of being able to cook on top at the same time as maintain a steady supply of hot water was outstanding!  Thanks again for the quick shipping."

"Hi Kelly Kettle Co.'

 I thought you might like to know that your kettles are truly amazing.  Not only do they work superbly, and entertain the crowds that gather when we use it in public, but they can stand up to some pretty tough problems! .......

"Dear Kelly kettle Co.

This morning there was a large explosion and we didn't have electricity.  Lucky for me your Kelly Kettle came and I was able to make a fine cup of coffee on my patio with twigs that fell from my trees.  We are taking it on our camping trip thsi week where we never seem to have enough hot water.  

Thanks for making a great product.  It was worth the wait.  I love it."
