Boil, Fry, Bake in the Wild with this Perfect Kettle Kit from the 1890's - The KELLY KETTLE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2022
- From their website: The first kettle dates back to the 1890's to a small farm on the shores of Lough Conn, County Mayo, Ireland, when a young Patrick Kelly (Great grand-father of the current Co. Directors), a small farmer and fisherman, developed his first kettle from Tin after a cold winter of tinkering and experimenting in a shed.
Patricks son, Jim became a famous angler & boatman/ghillie on Lough Conn. Renowned for his speed at boiling water in the kettle, Jim always had a kettle with him when fishing. The Kelly Kettle has now become popular with fishermen in the west of Ireland where the speedy kettle produces boiling water for hot drinks on wet & windy days.

So quick note.. I know it is the first time of you using the kettle, but I would like to offer a bit of help. I only watched half the video thus far but I would like to take a moment with the two pieces of metal that make a stand. Once they are slid together put them in the top of the kettle. It is designed to fit into the top of the stack. This way you are able to boil water and cook at the same time. I personally don't have one but today is possible the day I order one. Thank you and God bless.
Rly?!
That sounds very efficient
It doesn't work that well that way. Easier to cook without kettle . From personal experience
@@thequietherbalist1741 It's good for things that need high heat for a short period. For things that need a lower consistent heat, better to use the hobo stove attachment.
When starting your fire and it gets split face the hole the way the wind is coming to it it was designed for windy weather in Ireland it's a very good stove some people just don't like it which is okay if you think about it you getting water boiling and a fire going at the same time a lot of hobo stoves won't do that it's just a preference I like it and it's all compact saves a lot of money I'm buying other stuff what they already have in the Kelly kettle do the math it's a lot cheaper to buy the Kelly kettle the ones who are negative about it are trying to sell something different this was an ingenious thing made it'll be in my backpack every time and small kindling about the size of a q-tip is what makes it work quick and fast that was the point that they were shooting for where this was invented because it was cold and windy when it breaks down if someone had to rely on something like that in the situation the Kelly kettle would come through all the time 100% and little limbs about the size of q-tip are always dry on the trees and they burn fast common sense love your video keep up the great work
I was going to say the same thing. It would work great to heat leftovers while your water boils without wasting all of that escaping heat! Glad someone else thinks like me😊
Thanks for posting this. Never saw a kelly kettle before. Having been caught in blizzards in the Colorado Rockies before, when driving for work, I keep a rocket stove and a single burner backpack stove with basic utensils, pots, cups, and a couple days worth of food in my truck. I'm thinking one of their Scout kettle sets would make a great replacement for that setup as instead of having all these separate bags, I could have it packed into one sack. Would still have the backpack stove as it's possible to get caught in a blizzard on the plains where there's no wood source. Plus, the chimney up the center would allow it to heat up faster. One time I took a back road as the main highway was getting clogged. 5 minutes after I got off the highway, traffic came to a stop because of accidents. Some people were stuck for 30 hours and the national guard had to come out and bring food and water to the stranded motorists. This is why I travel prepared (also carry snowshoes, a sleeping bag, and some other supplies)
WOW!! You’re One Prepared Guy!!! Thanks for “inspiring us!!”..😍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Smart
I have a small ziplock with a piece of fatwood, some folded up tinfoil, and a lighter. I used to carry a small bag with a few homemade fire starters made from soaking dryer lint with paraffin wax in cardboard egg trays (each 1-egg section will burn like an emergency candle for 20-30 minutes). I have a small first aid kit, a water filter, an emergency blanket, and spare rain gear in my truck. I don't live where it gets cold any more, so no worries there. When I used to live in the desert, I always had water in my vehicle.
It is always good to be prepared, and it is way more fun to be the guy who shares some help than the guy who hopes for some.
Smart boy only the strong will survive. One with spirit
Don't park your truck in my town or all that neat stuff in your truck will disappear within seconds after you lock the door and walk away.
Maybe even the truck too!
I love my kelly kettle. I respect the fact that it is an "old" technology, tried and true. I am trying to rely less and less on new technology which I feel is making us weak, less skilled, and dependent. So glad you love the kettle too.❤
I entirely agree, Victoria!
I am the same - trying to find the old tested and truly amazing inventions that our forefathers had in their day! I want no more of the 'new' technology!
😅 Technology doesn’t make you weak unless you are already weak … tools are only as good as the user using them … use what feels natural to you, be more discriminating in what you use and you won’t have to blame other things for the gaps in your self confidence
As a child I remember the Fishermen on Lough Ennell in Ireland use them to make some tea! I bought one this time last year and was so sad to discover that they aren't made in Mayo, Ireland like they used to be. If you see any recordings of WW1 you'll see a Kelly Kettle steaming up the battlefield as they were used extensively in that conflict.
The Australian army used a similar item during the Pacific campaigns to brew up a cuppa :-)
I work all over the South Western parts of the UK providing safe areas for the people working in the roads. My Kelly Kettles get a lot of use. These kettles are amongst the best bits of kit I have ever bought. A FANTASTIC bit of kit!!
Yes! What Brian O'Connell says is probably the BIGGEST advantage of the Kelly Kettle Kit over most other small camp stoves. You can begin cooking bring your water to a boil AT THE SAME TIME.
Hai hai what a big surprise. I saw your video about the Kelly kettle but when you finished you pray the gospel. Amazing. Ian from Holland and I know Jesus He is my life and saviour. Thank you for your blessings also for you
My absolute FAVORITE verse! Thank you! May our Heavenly Father keep you in His loving arms!
Christa, this is the first time I have seen your video, and I have to say that I'm impressed. Being of Irish descent, I wanted to see you with the Kelly Kettle. My grandmother's maiden name was Kelley. I love the outdoors, especially the woods and mountains, and food just tastes better when it's cooked over an open fire. But you put the icing on the cake when you ended with a scripture. That touched me spiritually. May God richly bless you.
The Kelly Kettle is a capable piece of kit that permits boiling of water and cooking where there’s no gas or other fuels. Feeding and sustaining the flame is the challenge but it’s a good bit of kit.
My husband bought me a Kelly kettle a while back. We put it away and haven’t used it yet, we’ll, after watching this I’m going to bring it out and put it to use now that the weather has cooled down. Thank you for the scriptures you share, it’s always something I look forward to.
Be careful,it’s addictive fun!
Good to keep in case of emergency black outs.
Hey there, I’ve seen a few others comment but wanted to clarify also.
Firstly, leave the “whistle” bung in until you’ve lifted the kettle from the base pan. When lifting hold the bail handle at 90 degrees to the top with both hands. That way you avoid burning your hands or the kettle tipping. Many other vids on YT showing this being done.
Second, the metal supports can be used on top of the stove to allow for heating other things whilst boiling water. I’m guessing you have the newer version so those supports can also be used as legs under the base pan to avoid scorching the ground, useful in dry areas.
And a minor last point, the grill is intended to go directly on the base pan. Let the fire burn down to coals and then place it on there.
Really hope you enjoy using the Kelly kettle, I know I have.
I thought you used the bung to hold and balance the entire kettle (along with the handle)?
I tried to buy the whistling bung plug from Kelly Kettle. The wanted $6.99, $5.50 shipping and an unknown Tax. My phone #, adddress, credit card info. Even before I could know my total to pay. I told them what to do with it ! Pay Pal stinks too. Don't use them, ripping people off !
Nice demonstration. The first time I used mine, I put my Fancee Feast alcohol stove under it. It increased the fuel efficiency so much. It is truly an awesome and versatile "kettle".
IIRC, the two interlocking pieces that you show at 8:50 are meant to be assembled and inserted into the top of the kettle. You can use it as another cooking surface.
And they you would cook on a real rocket stove. That's what I thought though I've never seen this contraption before.
Alternatively, you can put it on the ground, and place the base on top. It will keep snow and ice from stealing too much heat from your fire
You can do that or use it as a base.
And I think that once the two pieces are put together, they can be flipped over either way to get different size notches / ledges.
That cross will actually work on a Solo stove so you could build a campfire and then boil something
Their lawyers might disagree
FYI: The New Stanley Adventure 2 & 4 person Cook Sets work amazingly well with the Kelly Kettles, plus the 2 person pot fits inside the 4 person pot & the Stanley cups, bowls & spoons fit right inside them. They add another layer to your outdoor cooking on the kettle along with adding some suitable utensils.
I've got one and love it,Annie! Thanks for suggesting using them together!
I added a KA-BAR Spork to my kit. It is a Fork, Spoon & knife all in one. Very rugged too. Could be carried as a self- defense weapon if need be. It looks very docile till you pull it apart. Exposing a rugged knife! I bought one for each of my family and put them in our stockings for Christmas.
I’m so glad I watched this. I have a kettle and haven’t used it yet so your instructions were really healthful. It’s funny I got it over a year ago cause somethIng (🙏🏻) was telling me to do it. It’s so cool that when we listen we hear. I’m sure you get the same ideas from our instructor as long as we pay attention. He’s telling us what to do. Be well and god bless. ❤️👍🏻🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
I also purchased this for my prep inventory, same with sun oven. This video has inspired me to test both.
I felt the same way. Glad I got it when I did.
Glad you like my kettle. 🤣
40 years ago I was reading about the nomads of the desert 🏜of the Middle East. They had kettles made out of copper/bass with chimneys that went up the center theirs were open pans to make soup or sauce, so they could dip their bread in the soup in a group. If I could draw you a picture,it would be easier to explain. The Kelly Kettle is new and improvement on a very old idea.
Hello how are you doing?
Something like a bundt pan or a tube pan for angel food cake?
A tangine?
It was made over a hundred years ago,hardly new.The American Army had a version slight change in design years later
Your videos are super helpful. I love how clever and practical your tips are. And you are such a lovely person! You are helping the world stay informed.
I’ve had my Kelly for quite a while, and am a firm believer in its versatility and uniqueness. I use it for canoe, boat camping etc. it is also always in my hunting camp, and my 4x4 for off road excursions. A great piece of kit for sure! 🙏🏻👍🏻
A western version of the Samovar, in other words. However, a long vertical tube is usually placed as an extension on top of the Samovar to prevent the flames from coming out into the open (as they do with the Kelly Kettle), thereby preventing accidents or fires.
The Irish Traveler community in the old day's used to have a Samovar that probably influenced the Kelly Kettle
My Kelly Kettle ultimate base camp was just delivered and I am so excited to open it and check it out! A little strange maybe, but I asked my husband for it as a 30th wedding anniversary gift 😊. I haven’t done much camping, but am trying to build up the tools I need to take care of my family in case of emergencies…and maybe we’ll be inspired to do some more camping now that we have this Kelly Kettle 😁. Thank you for the great intro to it! I do hope you will do more videos with it, and with traditional rocket stoves as well.
Wow, that's really cool, the company should send you the other 2 sizes to test for us! I want one! Would like to see the other sizes!
I have never heard of this until now. It's pretty cool. I like that it works with wood-which you can find pretty much everywhere(for free). Ingenious; thanks for posting this!
What a great kit! This will be the next addition to my prep supplies.
I’ve had my Kelly kettle for a couple of years now put away as a prep but you have inspired me to get it out and use it on our next camping trip. Thank you for this video.
I have one too! I’m getting mine out and start using it too! I did use it once, then cleaned it up and stored away for emergencies. It’s great!!
Seems like it would be a pain to clean?
@@cbass2755 how hard is it to clean. My worry is cleaning g it if grid is down and water shortages
@@cbass2755
I’ve bought four but the misses doesn’t know yet,she thinks there’s one.Boy am I in for it 🫣
@@stevescuba1978
You don’t clean them,no need.
Food , nature, and beautiful lady. Nothing better. Thank you.
I've never seen this kit, so thank you for the demonstration. The price is pretty reasonable also. God Bless you always. ❤
Note, you have a choice of 3 sizes and 2 materials (aluminium and stainless steel).
I recommend the base camp stainless steel complete kit for home use and the trekker aluminium for travel.
I recently bought a stainless steel Base camp model . I live inNE Arizona. Windy days can blow 25-45mph steady with 65mph gusts in my area. I figure if this can work in a storm I should be able to use it when the winds pick up. Sheltered of course. Sure will say on the propane.👍🏼
OH Christy you are such a brownie, God loves you and so do we!!!
Christa I am SO GLAD too see this video, not only do I love and anxiously await new videos but I've had this on my list for awhile and watching you use it makes me sure I want to pull the trigger asap.
As far as videos I would love to see you cover two things: how to handle security as a woman, especially around the home and homestead, and what to do and how to handle a 2to 3 week long power outage. Best ways to cook, light, do laundry, etc. I respect you and your content and perspective so much and I know others would gain as much knowledge from these videos as well as I would!! Hugs!!
That gonna be worth it’s weight in gold soon
Exactly.I bought four! ((Don’t tell the misses!
Never heard of this but wow, what an amazing invention!
I have had one for years and it is my favourite cooker. Mine is the smallest model. ( the Traveller ) The two pieces of metal are used as a pot holder on top of the kettle which can be a bit of a pain if you want some hot water as you will have to temporarily take you fry pan or pot off the top of the kettle so you can pour it.if you are eating freeze dried food this is not an issue as kettle is only used for boiling. A great product.
Very interesting.
Great video. Thank you for showing how versatile this system is. We have all 3 sizes of this kettle & have been using them for years. They work amazingly well.
Wow...this is fantastic. You present things so beautifully and I thank
you for all of your work. At one point I thought it was going to take off!!!!
Bless.
Thank you, Lawrie!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and "maiden voyage" experience with this clever invention :) I've been considering adding one of these to my kit for quite awhile ... Lord Willing, I'll invest in the stainless version, myself. You've blessed my day, Christa! God Bless you as well
Awesome set up
Totally inventive!
Goes on my wishlist with all my other pipedreams
Yes, me too.
Me too..I'm gonna ask Santa for one this Christmas.
I’m still waiting for my young temptress! Oh well Santas a busy guy.
These are great and I've got a few versions, both from Kelly Kettle and other options. I keep one in my car for emergencies, one at camp, and one at home. Heck of a piece of kit.
I love this little stove! Thank you, I'm going to look into buying one.
I’d get the base camp stainless steel complete kit 1.6 litre)For travel try the aluminium Trekker.
@@redpillnibbler4423 What brand is the stainless steel kit?
If you had to survive in post apocalyptic woodlands, doing so would be a whole lot more endurable with a Kelly Kettle and the company of this delightfully charming lady.
Nice vid.
If you don’t have that thing to cook over, you can use a small grill. That’s what I do. This Kettle I’d so cool! I love mine!
Constant Comment!!!! Yea! My English nanny hooked me on it when she raised me when we lived in England…only tea I drink! Kindred Spirit good to meet you!!!
Unrelated except in name,but please pray for my Mom Kelly. She is in the hospital on life support and is most likely brain dead. We are asking God for a miracle, but above all that his will would be done,thanks and God bless.
Praying for your Mom
I have prayed for her and you both, that your faith would be deepened as you wait for God to work His best will, Kebert. Thank you for sharing your burden with us all. I hope it is a little lighter knowing you are being lifted in prayer today!
Thank you guys. She ended up passing.
@@kebertxela941 I'm so sorry for your loss.
Did she take the covid vaccine?
I never heard of this tool. Amazing! Thank you for the information...I want one also!
Nice to see another video from you Krista👍
How clever! I love stainless steel and glass. I also love the Kelly Kettle...thank you for sharing the how-to! Perhaps I will purchase the large one next month. God bless you.💕💓💕💚🕊💚
Love your work. We have Kelly Products here in Australia and Love them. God Speed. This is End Times.
😮 God Bless you for sharing 🙏 this is perfect to add to my prepping stash ☺️ hoping I can get it to Australia 🙏
I have a Kelly kettle that I`ve had for 9 or 10 years or so. I don`t have the kit you have with yours, but I`ll get one. For now my dutch oven and Kelly kettle are most of my outdoor cooking.
I have been curious about these for a long time, so THANK YOU for your wonderful demonstration! I really enjoyed every minute of it! 👍👍
First time here and I've got to say, WOW! What a great item, gonna get one! 💖🙌😺
Keep your light shining bright
This is the Irish version of the Russian samovar. Fabulous.
Hello how are you doing?
Putin did it! 😅
What a blessing you are💖
WOW, what a wonderful device!!
Best video on Kelly Kettle I have ever seen! Thank you!
I was very intrigued by this. Something I hadn't heard of. Thanks Christa!
Thanks for your comment, Jeff! I love it. :)
😲
Love this.
Definitely an essential thing to have!♥️
Thank you for posting this video, you did awesome!
THANK U WOW IM LIKE SPEECHLESS NEVER HEARD OF THESE BEFORE
Great video Christa !!! Thank you and God bless you
I have one and it works well, the only thing is when Be VERY careful about the heat coming from the top. It is VERY HOT! But you can boil water and cook at the same time.
It is very useful.l.
Great video! I have discovered that kit thanks to you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I saw your video and ordered my Kelly Kettle Scout- I love it!!!!
Nice kit! Very "real" experience to watch you learning at the same time you're sharing, because it shows us realistic expectations on the learning curve. Well done!
Christa, you have found the one thing I had never discovered for camping! Yay you! Thanks!
Thanks for all you do!
Great video. Thank you for taking time to show us these items. God bless 🥰💜🙏🙏
Thanks for posting! I love watching your videos, so informational and your spirit is so soothing. God bless.
Just received my kit and this video was good to explain all the features. Thank you.😊
Love constant comment also. I put a bag in my black tea for iced tea its great.
I agree. It makes a delicious iced tea!
This would make a fun and useful gift. Such a great invention! I will have this on my list.
Thanks for all you do
Garry , Raleigh N.C.
You are my blessing today ❤
Thank you. Wonderful product!
Congratulations! I love my Kelly Kettle and you will probably love yours too.
I have been wanting to try one of these. Thank you for the informative video. Blessings!
That is cool! You're always a blessing to me 🙂
Ohhhh LOVE it!!!💫💫🧡🌻🌻😊 Blessings to all who watch this lovely channel!
Good afternoon Krista. Excellent video with spectacular production values. but that's of course to be expected from a strong independent woman such as yourself. That vintage Kelly Kettle looks like the perfect device for brewing up a nice hot pot of coffee on a campfire. Thanks for sharing a look at your camping life in the Great Outdoors.. Take care. 😊😊
Great video, thanks for sharing it . God Bless you and your family.
Thanks for sharing sister! Very versatile product!
Thanks for the intro to a gadget that I had never heard of. Very nice. Blessings upon you as you bless others.
I just found your channel. Love this lady!! Gteeting from North Myrtle Beach
Oh no, now I want one! Thank you for sharing this sweet lady 😁
This is the coolest stove! Thank you for sharing- definitely want one🙏🏽
Had you not made this video, I would have never known of this Kelly kettle. Thank you 😁
Great video/walkthrough dedicated to this pioneer tech. Glad to have rediscovered your channel... you always have interesting tips and present it in your own unique way. Blessings to you, and yours!
Thank you so much, I didn't know anything about this kettle
Thank you Krista. This is a wonderful product, going on my list for sure! God Bless! Have a awesome day! Dawn 😊
Awesome video. Thanks for making it.
That’s my favorite tea also! Thank you for sharing the Kelly Kettle!
I’m a new subscriber! I can’t thank you enough for how helpful and thoughtful you are to show us different off the grid solutions. May God bless you always my sister. 🙏🏽
Been awhile since I've been on line/media sis. So good to see you.. God bless you..I've enjoyed yur demonstration 👍🤠
Thank you Christa , this is a better video on this kettle I have ever seen , I will definitely buy one now. You are a jewel of information, may GOD continue to bless you.
Good demonstration , lots of options , thanks for sharing , God bless !
I may be the only one!!! I have never seen or even heard of, a Kelly kettle. This is the hilarious part. When you showed the kettle and showed that it was hollow and then said you put water in it, yes, I was waiting to see how the water would stay in a bottomless pot. It took me most of the video to figure out that the water must have went into a chamber in the spout!!
You are allowed to laugh!!!
She could have explained that early on.
Are you blonde by any chance?
(Only joking) 😅
Fine Review! All the Functions become much easier with practice, of course! I've bought several of these over the years, so I could share'em with folks. Especially in anticipation of interruptions to power & distribution systems...
One Particular advantage of the system is that this design also protects and conceals the flame thru most of its operation.
Even the smallest version does the job, and as you pointed out, the KIT allows you to pack and carry a surprising amount of fuel and gear. I particularly recommend becoming proficient with a _*ferrocerium spark-generating rod*-that you can use with any number of square-edged steel items to employ as a "striker."
You show much wisdom in carrying a supply of FATWOOD sticks. Those are especially valuable as fire STARTERS, and I recommend that folk SAVE them for that purpose rather than relying on them for fuel if you can gather dry twigs and small branches. EVEN LEAVES AND DRY GRASS can fuel your cooking.
That ability to use the humblest fuel can be a life saver.
You made some great points, @anim8torfiddler871. Thank you for your comment!
I used this to cook in a driving rain a big dutch oven full of stew. The big lidded pan acted as an umbrella for the hobo stove. My fellow campers were amazed dinner was cooked while the rain poured.
I love the Kelly Kettle, I've been watching your videos for a while, and you are an amazing woman. You have so much common sense, your abilities to do things is amazing. May God bless you continuously.
I have been looking at getting something like this! Perfect timing before I ordered something else!!!
