Kelly Kettle Mod

[K.NYPH]

Hi All,
A number of you saw my Kelly Kettle mod at the moot,but for those of you that didn't I thought I would post some pics.It stops you burning your knuckles,kills the fire while you refill with water ,flip it open and the fire will reignite .If you have finished boiling water close the lid and the fire will go out leaving charcoal for easy start next time.
Please feel free to copy my design,you dont need to use brass I was just being a flash git.
I've just found a better way for you all to see the pics.

nice m8...

Tidy mod that. Will the fire really go out when you close the lid? How long does that take?

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

The fire will die back as it will only get air from the in hole in the base plate. A good idea.

Nice workmanship......and a clever idea.

I shall be sorting something for my Eco Kettle along the same lines...

Cheers K.NYPH.

A little OT but what advantages does a kelly kettle have over a wood burning pocket stove and a standard camp kettle?

 

[smoggy]

I find it boils a fir amount of water very quikly..............you can also cook atop the kettle or on the base..........Mines a medium size kettle and I think that if you compare the weight of my kit to a comparable size woodstove/kettle/pan and lid then I recon the Eco would work out lighter unless you are using exotics like titanium. All the bits fit within the kettle itself which reduces the bulk and it all lives in a handy drwstring bag.

RE : how long does it take to put out the fire.
Depends on the size of fire and size of wood on the fire normally 10s should do it but its one of these suck it and see jobs .
My first flip lid I made was out of an old aluminum sauspan and a couple of rivets and tube for the hinge it worked great untill my wife asked where her favorite old pan was.:yikes:

Really cool idea that John.
I did notice it when i was sat talking to you at the moot.
Did mean to have a closer look but forgot.
Thanks for reminding me by posting it here

1. You can prevent burns to your hands by lifting the kettle off with the handle held perpendicular to the ground.
2. Why would you want to kill the fire while you refill the kettle?
3. Putting an empty kettle back on the fire tray could damage it.

Sorry, but in my opinion, that's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
