ViewsKelly KettleFrom GuidesThe Kelly Kettle, also known as the Volcano Kettle, is designed to boil water using whatever fuel is to hand, without having to use an exposed fire. This allows the kettle to be used in all weather conditions. Documented as first being used by Irish fishermen, it can boil 2.5 pints in approximately 3 minutes, faster then many modern stoves! Made from aluminium, the Kelly Kettle is basically a double-walled chimney with the water contained in the chimney wall.
How to use one
How it worksSurface area is the key. The inner wall of the chimney heats up very quickly as it is heated by the fire, this then radiates the heat energy to the water trapped inside the double skin. As there is such a large surface area in relation to actual volume to water, the water is heated very quickly. DiscussionsExternal Links |
