"Hi!
On my many fishing trips I always appreciated having my Kelly Kettle with me. As angling journalist and publisher of the German angling Magazine "Classy Catchers“ (www.classycatchers.de) I know about the cult status your kettle has amongst anglers. Since I used it first time I know why! The Kelly Kettle will never let you down...

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.

"I bought the Stainless Steel Kelly Kettle ® - Complete Series last summer. Delivery was fast 3 days. I tried the kettle off-road use prior to operation. Kelly cook 1.7 liters of water in less than 10min. I used a kelly hunt and fish in the autumn and winter, up to -30 degrees below zero, without any problems. No longer needed to think about how much fuel is needed and to carry around! Highly recommended acquisition for small groups or family! Later will acquired a smaller 1L kelly, if it enters the range of stainless steel."

"With a fist full of crumpled newspaper and a handfull of small pine twigs in the burner pan, I lit the Kettle. Within just less than four minutes the Kettle came to a full rolling boil. What a marvelous little item this really is.

I will be using it on a regular basis on fishing and camping outings.

Thank you."

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 !

"Patrick and Seamus !

This is one piece of equipment I never have regretted buying. The Kelly Kettle has been with me on all of my mountain hikes this summer. At first I thought that it could be a problem finding fuel high up in the mountains but it has never been a problem.

Best Regards"

"Dear All at Kelly Kettle,
I've wanted one of thse since I first saw something very similar on a tiny island lake, more of a big rock really, in SW Ireland whilst stopping for tea during a salmon fishing day with my father. I was given one finally in the mid 90's, since when it has been a constant companion on my many a trip away, and still it shows no sign of ageing, unlike its owner! I live in Dubai now and there is no better way to brew up when fire materials are so limited in the desert, and often the desert wind makes a conventional fire difficult. Recently it accompanied us on an overland trip all the way from Dubai to Salalah in the Dhofari region of Oman, right down near the Yemen border. Stuck in Wadi Darbat in the middle of nowhere, or on the freezing bare rock tops of Jebel Akdar, trying to capture the dawn light on camera, it provided many happy breakfast brews! I have one in UK too for fishing and fowling trips, family members have received them from me, also friends in Australia, and following a recent "tea Party" with Dubai's falconers, I have ordered two as presents for the lads here!

A marvellous tool, long live Kelly Kettle!"

"Kellys Kettle is like a very secret thing, I\'ve used it salmon fishing, pike fishing, camping , turf cutting and just sometimes for its own sake, just for the sheer pleasure of having a brew up in the garden while diggin praties - it is quite simply unsurpassed in its efficiency and sheer fun. I look forward to more Irish ingenuity."

"Dear Kelly Kettle Company,

One of the best gardening gadgets I have bought.
We bought one for use on our allotment earlier in the year, so having used it all summer and into the autumn we now appreciate how well it works. We are saving a fortune on gas cylinders and no longer sufffering lack of gas when the weather gets cold.
Kind regards,"

"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."

"Dear Kelly Kettle Co.

We have used the Large Kelly Kettle every day in the outback for the past 5 weeks. It has been absolutely brilliant - you can imagine that in the Desert there is no shortage of very dry twigs; leaves; grass etc. It boils the water so fast that we had to revise our early morning procedures to cope with the speed! Once again, many thanks. I am now about to order two more for my friends."

"Greetings Kelly Kettle!!

Yesterday I received my Kelly Kettle order sooner than expected. I fired it up on the

stove boiled water and made some fresh coffee. Amazing simple design.

I recently returned from a trip to SW Alaska in which a friend of mine Bob Madeson

talked about his "Volcano Kettle". Being avid flyfishermen Bob and I and friend headed by boat to a remote fishing area. The fishing was great but the weather was nasty. After a fun morning of fishing we headed back to camp.......

"Dear Kelly Kettle Co.,

Just wanted to let you all know that my wife and I are now raving entusiastically about your product after borrowing a new Kelly Kettle from friends & using it constantly during our recent (June 2008) one-week tenting trip into BC's south-western interior, in all variety of weathers courtesy of ongoing global climate change - a real boon especially when our kerosene-fueled camping stove refused to function! .......

"Dear all at the Kelly Kettle Co.

I just got back from my first camping trip of the year in the New Forest. Could not wait to try out my new Kelly Kettle and it did not disappoint. Although I had to take my own fuel with me (Forestry Commission have strict rules/fines about using twigs/wood/cones from the actual forest) worth the effort as it put a smile on my face every time I used it. Also used it to make a brew on milford-on-sea beach in a howling wind. Not sure if my gas cooker would have worked in the conditions as well. It is fantastic! Cannot wait for my next trip. I might just have to make a brew when I am having my next BBQ at home.
Thanks,"

"Hi guys,

After a hard days paddling around the coast of Anglesey it's a real joy to pull up onto a beach

and pull out my kelly kettle to make a brew. A few twigs and some paper and within minutes boiling hot water.

What a great piece of gear. People wandering by are more interested in my Kelly Kettle then they are in my Kayak.........Brilliant!"
