Boil water in 5 minutes with the Kelly Kettle

The Kelly Kettle was invented by an Irish fisherman to boil water for lunch in unfavorable windy and wet conditions.  It is by far, the best  and fastest way to boil water in harsh conditions that I've used yet.

It comes in 2 sections.  The bottom pan is a burner, where you can put your fine tinder and small sticks to start your fire.  The top section is basically a chimney, with double walls all around that hold water.  So when you start your fire, and drop small sticks down the top, the flames run up the inside, and heat up the water quickly in the sides.

You then grab it by the handle, and pull the chain to pour.  Works like a charm.

Takes about 5 minutes to boil 54 ounces (the large Base Camp model).

It'll burn any kind of wood, dry grass, pinecones, etc.

Note:  The Kelly Kettle will work better elevated a bit, and with the base airhole facing into the wind.

Here's a very short video of the Kelly Kettle at work.
