Testimonial - Desert Hiking

"I do a lot of desert hiking searching for deer antler sheds and in the summer, amateur fossil hunting. 
I live in a semi-arid pine forest foothills area, so pine-needles, pine cones, dead yucca and tumbleweeds are my usual fuel.
All I can say is !!HOLY FRACK THAT THING IS FAST!!  BIG WINNER, HANDS DOWN!
I used to carry an alcohol stove to limit weight.  That cut short my field time a lot.  I've added stove weight due to the kettle, but when I cut out fuel, I've cut my total stove/fuel pack weight IN HALF!  Now the only limit I have is how much food I can carry.

Excellent product, well done.  Many thanks."

Testimonial - Camper Van & the Kelly Kettle!

"Last summer me and my dad went to Alaska to do some gold panning in Chicken. We stayed in his pop up camper and used the Kelly Kettle every day!
Whether we were boiling water for tea, or making top ramen, the Kelly Kettle is what we used to cook pretty much everything.
Here is our Kelly Kettle action shot!   Thanks"

Testimonial

I received my Kelly Kettle today. Being the skeptic I am I took it out of the box and immediately fired it up to see if it worked as good as advertised.  I was not disappointed too say the least. The temp outside was -5F with about a 10 mph wind. I used birch paper (bark) as tinder and broke off twigs from some spruce and birch trees. The water boiled with just a handful of twigs within five minutes. The Jet Boil will be a thing of the past I am thinking. I am going to lend the kettle it out to all the guys I hunt with. I along with them are very critical of new gear because it is not a matter of if you are going to get stuck in the bush but when. I think people sometimes overlook the fact that simplicity can also work exceptionally well.

Thanks

Testimonial - Fantastic International Service

"Fantastic service, prompt delivery and a truly superb piece of kit for camping trips......thanks to all at the Kelly Kettle Co."

Testimonial - Great Service

Many Thanks for your prompt service. Even the atrocious weather did not delay my Base Camp Kettle arriving in 3 days. The first attempt at using it I re-cycled the box for fuel and within 4 mins had enough water for 6 mugs of coffee FANTASTIC. I can't wait to get out and use it while camping.  No more hanging about for a brew while trying to shield the gas stove and how much money will it save me and more importantly better for the environment.

Thank You once again for my belated Christmas Present from Santa .

Testimonial - In the Woods

Good afternoon;
We received our Kelly Kettle (1.5L Stainless steel base-camp model) a couple of days ago (mid December 2011) and I've been chomping at the bit to try it out. I worked with it today and it was amazing how easily it boiled two complete pots of water in under 15 minutes.  I found that paper from a phone book worked real well to get the fire started.  I will never carry a thermos into the woods again and plan on using the Kelly Kettle.

Having a piping hot cup of herb tea in the woods was a new and great experience!

"Just a quick note to thank you for your prompt and efficient service. From Ireland to Australia in 8 days is fantastic.
We took our kettle camping this weekend and had great fun mastering the fine art of the right amount of fire and fuel."

Testimonial - Forest Schools

"Dear Kelly Kettle Co.,

Your Kettle has arrived and the children love it... when I ask them what's the best thing about forest schools they all say 'Hot Chocolate and the Kelly kettle' - its made such a difference and given us a real focus for each session"

Testimonial - wonderful service!

"I ordered my kettle on Sunday 16th and it came today.  I would just like to thank you for such a wonderful service.  Price is right, delivery time was right, and the kettle is awesome.  Me and daughter did our first burn tonight for hot vimto and very quickly had the neighbours around seeing what the 'woos' and 'aaahhhs' were all about.  We are off camping soon and now wont have to take all the cooking stuff we usually take.
Once again thank you guys."

Testimonial - Animal dung!

"Hi guys,
A few mates recently help me christen my new KK on a Nile-side camping trip in the Sahara, where we experimented with a range of animal dungs. Classes included heat and durability, smoke and stink (before and after), and a special prize for anyone who could get one of the girls to handle the poo without realising.

Overall Winner? Camel. Cow had to be broken up by hand (too yuck), Goat burned well but too fast. Cow also smoked a lot - maybe it wasn't quite dry enough...
Keep up the good work - I'm certainly getting a cook set next time I'm home!"

Testimonial - Bushcraft

"Just wanted to offer up my thanks for this truly amazing item you produce. Being a long practicing Bushcraft fanatic I have spent a lot of time boiling pots over the camp fire, or spending money on gas for stoves.  But, the addition of the Kelly Kettle to my pack has made my pack lighter and my camp truly more comfortable. Thank you!!"

"Hello Kelly Kettle.
I’ve just done a review of you Kettle on my blog at http://irishbackwoods.blogspot.com/. We have no immersion heater or electric kettle in our house, so the kettle gets used most days of the year, in the summer many times every day. Your kettle stood up to 5 years of this very heavy use and we now on our second. Anyway the story is on my blog.

Regards"

Testimonial -well travelled kettle!

"Hello Kelly family, we´ve had our kettle now for 12 years or so and it´s been a trusty companion in West Africa, the Yorkshire Dales, many parts of Spain, and ít´s off again in a week or so to France.  It really is an essential item for any traveller/camper, and I am always amazed when people have never heard of it.  If I ever get to go on Desert Island discs, it will be my luxury item.  Cheers and good luck."

Testimonial - Outdoor Activities

"Dear Patrick & Seamus,

Just got the little 0.57l stainless Kelly Kettle delivered a few days ago. It works like a charm. This really is one of the best products I ever bought. Also the manufacturing quality is exceptional. I am absolutely enthusiastic about the whole product, your friendly and helpful advice I got before ordering and also the quick delivery.

Even in rainy and windy weather (what we have a lot of here in Switzerland) it works as intended and really does not need a lot of natural fuel to bring the water to boil.

As soon as the large stainless version will be available again, I'll buy (at least) one.

Kelly Kettles are here in Switzerland mostly unknown although outdoor sport activities (camping, hiking, climbing, fishing, boating, skiing, to just name a few) are very popular and also lots of sporting goods stores and chains do exist. That's a pity.

Again, many thanks and keep up the good work you are doing!"
