    Kelly Kettles are the finest invention of the Irish nation in the last century. Personally, I favour the aluminum version- conducts heat far better than stainless steel. But they're so efficient it might not matter too much.

    Cause the exchange rate sucks so bad right now the Stainless Base Camp will be around $97ish and the Stainless Scout will be around $92ish.

    The Hobo stove will be around $15ish

    Those are just the Stainless larger kettles.

    The smallest Aluminum one will be around $69. It holds 17ozs of water.

    So I happened across these stoves through a Bushcraft Canada fb page and I started researching. Neat little stoves, and great for emergency situations etc. The Ghillie stove (made at same place as the Kelly) seems to be be a bit better as they have a whistle instead of just a plug, and they now come in black alu. I would like to get one but when would it be used? If camping why not just build a normal fire that can be used for boiling AND cooking? These seem A LOT Better, cheaper, and not as gimmicky as the Biolite. I have been searching videos for two days now and have yet to see anyone cook ON the top...that's where I start to wain. If I am carrying a kettle and a hobo stove, why not just use a campfire? Enlighten and teach me...Santa left a couple of dollars in my pocket and I want to make sure it's well spent
    Thanks...Mark

    True Mark, I have seen very few people cook on the top (one video where the guy was cooking a grilled cheese on top), and other videos they were using the Hobo stove attachment. But cooking is not really the intended purpose, nor really for use as your primary fire if out camping. Think "on the move". I am looking for one to have when I go on a kayak trip down the Trent River next year with my wife and maybe my brother and his wife (in a canoe) and we like coffee. It would be easy to just pop to the side of the river boil up some water and break camp in less then 15 minutes. Also, as these are a contained "fire pit" I believe there is no need for a fire permit whereas if you stop and build a traditional fire and a CO, or LEO comes by and asks for my permit that was only valid in North Kawartha, but I'm now just outside Campbellford... I could be looking at a fine.
