The Kelly Kettle is not available in the US, or a least nothing on the web
comes up when I search. I found several in Europe, most in the UK. They have
several names: The Storm Kettle from www.blackwolf4x4.com , The Volcano
Kettle from some Y2K supply, www.safariquip.com, and a German site that I
could not read, and the Kelly Kettle from www.farlows.co.uk. The Volcano was
1.5 litters and weighed 965 grams. The Storm and Kelly kettles came in 1 and
2 pint sizes and appeared to be identical, The kelly kettle price on the web
page was a little cheaper and included a value added tax that I was exempt
from (being outside the UK) so it became a lot cheaper. Shipping the kelly
kettle 17 sterling pounds where the storm kettle would be shipped COD. I got
the kelly kettle from Farlows of Pall Mall, they do not have a secure web
site so I also would have to add the in price of the phone call to order,
but I had the kettle in a week. I have been making tea in my fire place, and
have been pleased with how fast it boils water. I will get to try it out
next weekend.
Thanks again for all your help. I am glad I had a chance to meet you, even
if briefly. May be I will see you on the AT again sometime. I will be doing
a section for 2 weeks this summer with my father-in-law. I got him Ray
Jardines new book for his 77th birthday and he is ready to try going
ultralight.
God Bless,
