I have a kelly kettle (ie similar but no whistle) and very happy with it for boiling water.

Based on my experience, I'd say things to watch out for/be aware of (in addition to Ged's comments on safety) are:

• This type of kettle can be unstable when full of (possibly boiling) water. Maybe it's just mine but the base tends to get a bit deformed and less stable as it gets older. So some kind of support like the one on the Ghillie site (or a home made equivalent) is a good idea. I haven't seen this before so if anyone does a home made - but simple - version it would be valuable for everyone to see it
• I'm not convinced on the usefulness of the base on its own for cooking as it is a bit of a faff adding extra fuel - can be done but not a method of choice
• in the video the boiling kettle is removed with the spout TOWARDS the person removing it - I think it would be safer to remove it with the spout AWAY from the user as it is possible to catch the kettle on the base or otherwise tip the kettle - and so pouring out boiling water - when removing it

[wicca]

Wells fargo on the way with money..

 

[sandbag47]

Thanks I have all payments..I will send them off this weekend

 

[Mesquite]

I was tempted in getting one then I just had an email from my local bushcraft store saying they've got a sale on Ghillie Kettles and it works out that I can buy a coated kettle for the same price as the plain kettle including P&P here.

Good luck with the GB but I'm off today to get my Christmas pressie early

 

[sandbag47]

Mmmmmmmm yes so I see but only with some of the Coated ones and it's only the 2nd class postage that makes the differenence. So I am still continuing with this GB....But thanks for your input Steve

 

[udamiano]

Kettle arrived today will be putting it through its paces this weekend. thanks for the group buy

Hi all, sorry to hijack the thread, I have seen these advertised over the internet quite alot, but my very silly question is are they actually as good as they look? I would be interested in buying one but I would want it to be used for car camping but equally when I eventually get off my bum and find the time to get back out there with my pack in the woods I would want it to be portable!! I do very much like the idea of it as it does seem a very clever idea!! Im very much a person who likes the simple gadgets as there is a lot less to go wrong!!
not so sure I would like to clean the stainless steel pan the bloke uses in the video after he cooked the beans over that roaring fire lol!!
Cheers
Steve

They do work, very well in all weathers

They are bulky and a bit of a one trick pony, I have two though and wouldn't be without one for day hikes and canoe trips, not too practical for multi day hikes though.

 

[sandbag47]

Mine is one of my most used bits of kit. But not great if your travelling light, but if camping buy car you will love it. Like shewie said you can use it in all weathers. And you will never regret getting one of these !!

 

[silentbob]

Missed mine yesterday but picked it up from the Post Office today. Looks like a nice bit of kit, can't wait to give it a try out tomorrow. Thanks for organising it Sandbag.

Been out for three nights in this Springlike weather, only the leaf fall tells the season.. Collected Ghillie kettle from the boatyard office today, thanks SB47...

 

[spiritwalker]

hmm ok sandbag i need a price for the maverick (anadised) with cookset (anadised) but not the complete one basically i dont want the top pan support or the base support wire (if that makes sense) also i would like a cork thrown in but just loose so i can use the whistle. if you can get me a price for that ill see how quick i can arrange the funds...

ta laaaaaaa

 

[sandbag47]

yes it makes sence I just need to get the price for a cork (steve did give me one off the top of his head but I just need to confirm it that is correct with him)
