Kelly Kettles

I can't say enough good things about these things!
I don't actually have one, but I've used them quite a bit.

Pros:
1/ No expensive fuel to carry/run out of...
2/ Will work with pretty much anything that burns...
3/ Can boil water at the same time as you cook...
4/ Good kits with a variety of items in them and all pack inside the kettle...

Cons:
1/ Not exactly lightweight...
2/ Quite bulky...
3/ Not the cheapest thing around (but is made up for by the lack of fuel costs)...

I'd go for the Stainless Steel versions (personally I'm not a great fan of aluminium in my food/tea). For some unknown reason they're a touch less expensive than the aluminium ones (we're going to charge you more for being stupid enough to buy the ones that will slowly poison you!)?!!?
Confused as hell, but at least I know which end of a spanner to hit a nut with!

Whilst not cheap, it's not bad value at all!!
Many thanks for that, I don't/won't/can't camp, but to chuck in the top box on a day out, so I can make coffee and murder a Pot-Noodle, that's going on my Christmas wish list.
Cheers

There you go, brilliant bit of kit and as you said, the stainless one is the best one to go for. It will last the rest of your life even if used daily and often. Good find.  :thumb:

Anyway, it's nearly Christmas.  :text-woo: :thumb:
