I've had one for several years, and it's the best water boiler there is. Use it in the field every time I go, to be sure it's not a backpacking item; but, at this time, almost an indispensible piece of field equipment. You have no idea how quickly you can have boiling hot water for any small use, the big one only provides a little over a quart, after all. Anyway, this little kettle is great. If you don't have one, make an effort to acquire.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000423065458380753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-5288995836751439972009-12-29T15:37:51.816-06:002009-12-29T15:37:51.816-06:00AFAIK, Kelly Kettle don't make a steel base. ...AFAIK, Kelly Kettle don't make a steel base. But one can surely be improvised if need be. My Thermette has a simple steel base with no bottom -- seems like a "tin" can of the appropriate diameter with holes cut out should be an equivalent replacement.<br /><br />I'm not suggesting that a storm kettle should replace an MSR, and in fact they'll have to pry my almost 20 year old MSR multifuel out of my hot dead fingers.<br /><br />For water discipline though, the kettle is faster and more enjoyable to use. And you can warm or cook something up top as the water readies. And the fuel is inexhaustible. It's also a teaching tool I use with my little boy, getting him to help with starting and feeding the fire.<br /><br />All in all, a storm kettle is a nice little trinket, a reminder of a bygone age before honor and principle were institutionally bred out of our population, and I enjoy it quite a bit. <br /><br />-S<br />IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-67889339772619619112009-12-29T13:45:56.183-06:002009-12-29T13:45:56.183-06:00After looking at the Kelly Kettle home site, I thi...After looking at the Kelly Kettle home site, I think I'll eventually end up getting several of these: one largest for basecamping & EmComm use, one smallest for backpacking, plus several spare bases.
