David Sparkes Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'd always considered a Kelly Kettle to be a 'natural fuel' stove, twigs and sticks, possibly pre-prepared, and therefore a bit of a pain. What I've got from some comments in this thread is that I could consider the KK to be a diesel fuel stove, and the only preparation is a newspaper, diesel being my engine fuel of choice. Is 'a diesel fuelled stove' a reasonable description? Because that sounds more my style. What about soot? Just to be more awkward, what's it like for doing cooking a little more complicated than burning water? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Without the diesel, it's carbon-neutral... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Just to be more awkward, what's it like for doing cooking a little more complicated than burning water? Mine is great for cooking pot noodles, instant mash and the like. Once the kettle is boiled you get some nice hot embers in the bottom which will continue to burn like a BBQ for some while. This will allow you to cook something simple, frying bacon for example, or perhaps more if you added a few lumps of lumpwood charcoal to keep it running.

honitonhobbit Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Those of you that know Big Andy (or Glassbolt as he is known on ORRP) will know he can cook a meal for five with a kelly kettle, whilst using the smoke from it to deter biting, flying things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
