Best place to get a Kelly Kettle?

[Hellz]

Ok, I've read quite a bit about this item for quite some time now and with birthday money in hand I've decided to go for one!

Now, I've looked at the pictures and reckon the 2.5 pint one is a little on the bulky side for putting in a pack so the 1 pint version looks the ticket. I've found several places that stock them but wondered if anyone had any recommendations?

I'm quite excited

Cheers,
Hellz

I would personly go for this one
It is sized between the 2 kelly ones and comes with the cooking kit aswell . For £35.25 it is cheaper . I have made good use of mine and had no problems .

Pumbaa, how does the handle work on that one?

 

[pumbaa]

The handle is very similar to a trangia one , which holds onto the chimney . Not the best design as it gets hot . I have picked up a couple of giant jubilie clips and fashoned a handle (i will get round to fitting it one day !!!).

Cheers. I thought it was a bit strange when I saw it ....... I knew something was missing but couldn't figure out what! The triangia type handle does look a bit difficult to use.

Personally I've a soft spot for the Eydon 'popular' storm kettle available here.

O its not hard to do grad handle then chain pick up at angle. Now did you see my two for one deal i do not use wood yet i use jiffy heat one like a trangia i tried the trangia it not as hi flame as my jiffy i think it needs more air holes in the bottom dish yep they work i been heating water out side with cold water takes about 5 min. to get 145F on 1/12 oz. fuel the 1/12 oz of will burn 7 min. plus if look at my post on kelly kettle the 2 for 1 deal o i got the small one love it

it might be wise to hold off buying one at the moment.
i'm trying to set up a group buy at the moment (just waiting to hear back from the company)

Got mine from Anchor Surplus - ex Camel Trophy equipment. A bit battered but works fine.

Okay, I'm interested I've been eyeing these up since using one of the large sized ones during the summer. It was just *so* good.
