brown dog Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Looks very interesting; confusing (to me!) website though; which bit are you thinking of? Intrigued by this one: http://biolitestove.com/products/biolite-kettlecharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauser3006 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looks brilliant. Quite expensive however at over £100. But if you were out and about for a few days somewhere you could get a phone signal, it would be invaluable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Apart from re-charging your mobile, is a kelly kettle a good alternative? Always fancied one or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauser3006 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Apart from re-charging your mobile, is a kelly kettle a good alternative? Always fancied one or something similar. I bought a Kelly Kettle last year and have used it a few times. The conclusion I have come to is that it is definitely brilliant for boiling water quickly, efficiently and keeping the ash out of it. However it is very large (although not heavy). So for walking into somewhere it takes up a ridiculously large amount of space in your pack, but if you were vehicle mounted then it would be great. But if you were vehicle mounted, then why not just have a gas hob? It's a tricky one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixpointfive Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I have a Kelly kettle gathering dust, can't bear to get rid, just in casey. ??? , I normally filled the base / tube up with fuel ready to rock and roll, if it's damp it's a little tricky sometimes with damp fuel I've gone back to vehicle bound double ring gas, I can have a cook up and boil the tea at the same time, it's solid, I've made a folding aluminium wind shelter, boils and cooks up in minutes 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intrigued by this one: http://biolitestove.com/products/biolite-kettlecharge I watched the film clip there,the sound on my lappy is awful. It sounded like "a pordable keddle for boiling wader" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
