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!

"Dear Kelly Kettle Co.,

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!"

Testimonial - Backpack/Rucksack

"Dear Kelly Kettle,

My Kettle arrived this afternoon! Thank you very much. This afternoon I boiled several kettlefuls of water and made a cuppa tea. I was very much impressed with the efficiency of the kettle. Even if I let the fire burn down to embers with no visible flames, the kettle was easy to start up again. I boiled my first quantity of water in about three minutes. I used birch bark and lint from a clothes dryer as tinder....

At the moment I have the kettle packed into my backback (rucksack) and find the kettle doesn't take much room at all.

I will using the Kettle as much as I can over the next weeks to gain experience. I also intend on cooking on it as well, although I'm not a very good cook even at home!

I noticed on your Facebook page that you were testing a "HOBO" cooker with the Kettle. If you are developing a HOBO cooker for my size of Kettle (The Trekker) I would like to order one for my Kettle.

Thank you very much Kelly Kettle! "

Testimonial - Living off the Grid!

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I am really pleased with the Kelly Kettle.  I bought a 2 pint kettle a few years ago, and it has been a great thing to have around. I live in the forest in Norway and live without electricity. I have a woodstove which I use for heating and cooking. In the summer, I don't need to use the stove for heating the house, and then the kettle really comes into its own. When I need some hot water, I only have to use the kettle. This saves enormously on firewood, and is a quick way to make that all important cup of morning tea.

I thought you might like to get some positive feedback.

Kind regards,

Jacintha Veul, Norway

Testimonial - Camping Equipment

"I just tried my new Base Camp Kelly Kettle. It works EXACTLY as promised. From the time I put match to tinder until just under a half gallon of water was at a rolling boil took 6 minutes ( I timed it). I will be recommending the Kelly Kettle to everyone I know. At 52 years old, I have spent many happy times hiking, camping and canoeing around the upper Midwest. My only regret is that I hadn't heard about Kelly Kettles 30 years ago. It will be an essential part of my gear from now on."

Thank You So Much !!!
