Basically it's a pot that's built like a donut. Smoke and flame go up the middle, additional fuel goes down. The liquid is in a ring, kinda like a bundt cake pan or an angel food cake pan.

hi mate i bought one of these about 3 yrs ago after using a thermos flask for years, the water only takes about 3 mins to come to the boil, they are light and small enough to stick into a backpack, buy one and you will never regret it :thumbs:

Was lucky enough to be given one of these as a kid and took it everywhere. (Except School).

Lit it once and carried on with other things. After 2 mins turned around to check it and found a small heap of molten aluminium..... Yes forgot to put any water in it!

 

Lesson learned. Was given another one recently, as a Christmas present. Smaller than the last one. But brilliant.

 

I work as a riverkeeper, and take it everywhere. We were building a small pedestrian bridge once, and my colleague decided to have a cuppa with the cork stopper in place.

Having not read the warnings on the side regarding this. Unfortunately the cork blew off, even removing itself from the chain, that secures it.

He just watched it, floating off down stream.....

Luckly I had waders on and managed to catch up!

 

The bridge is now known as Kelly's Bridge!

Never heard of one before, sounds good to me. I know if you want a kellys kettle, YOU WANT a kellys kettle, but I have always used a 'jet boil' looks a fair bit smaller and runs off gas, fill it up and you can get 2 brews in about 3 minutes, clean and no messing about, just a thought lads and it might save you some space
