Kelly Kettles

We now stock and sell the Kelly Kettle, also known as the Volcano Kettle, which has been an essential piece of kit for Irish fishermen for generations. Quickly boiling water using virtually any fuel, the Kelly Kettle lets you enjoy a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee in minutes rather than the stale version you can look forward to from a flask.

How it Works

A Kelly Kettle will boil water in 3 to 5 minutes depending on the fuel you're using. Made from aluminum it is essentially a double-walled chimney with the water contained in the chimney wall. Once the kettle is filled with water, simply start a very small fire in the base, set the kettle on the base and drop additional fuel (twigs, leaves, grass, paper, etc.) down the chimney.

The large internal surface area of the chimney heats the water very quickly. When the water boils, hold the Handle at an angle of 90° to the Kettle - then lift the Kettle clear of the base. To pour, lift it by the handle and tilt it using the cork chain.

How to Use It

The Kelly Kettle is easy to use. We recommend that you follow the following five steps when using your Kettle:
Remove base from the bottom of the kettle and place the base on level ground – flat side down. Fill base with combustible material such as newspaper, dry grass or very small tinder.
Remove protective cork from kettle and fill kettle with water. Do not replace the cork. Then place the kettle securely on the base.
Light fire through the hole(s) in side of the base and face into wind for extra draught.
Insert additional fuel through the chimney (use small twigs for best results).
When the water boils, hold the handle at a 90° angle to the body of the Kettle – then lift Kettle clear of the base. Use handle and chain for pouring.

NOTE:
Never hold the handle above the chimney when the kettle is lit.
Always keep children away from the kettle when in use.
Use surplus water to extinguish fire
