I always pour a little water down the chimney once the water is boiling to extinguish, or at least subdue, the fire before lifting the kettle off the base. This avoids flames shooting up one's arm, the grass catching fire, or other such dramas 🙂
I don't think you have to use that much fuel….. good video
what type of water is the best :)) ?
Hey, you should not lift the Kelly's Kettle off the flaming base that way, the handle designed to lift up in right angle from the side, it is possible to lift safely with two hands and not that heavy to lift properly.. please retake the scene again..
I would love to see you look at the camera, don't be shy, you are better looking than Ray Mears XX XX xx Xx
@bontromium
Any kind of clear water, from tap, lake, pond, stream can be used. Do not use water from the sea.

One advantage of Kelly's Kettle is you can use twigs, sticks or dried dung for lighting the fire to boil water.. Be warn, last camping trip, a friend did not check if there are trees on the island in the lough, I had to share the sticks I took with me until we found few drifted woods. Fortunately someone brought an axe in his kayak.
Muttley is right… lifting the kettle that way is dangerous as you're placing your hand directly over the mental-hot chimney. Check out the kelly kettle website for instructions on how to lift it safely and please re-do that section. Rest is good though… more vids please! 🙂
@n1saie Dont forget it also doubles as a water carrier, and a stove with the optional pan stand that fits in the top of the chimney
The smaller scout version takes up the same space as a stove, gas canister pot and kettle, and can boil water and cook at the same time, Weighs about the same if you store some fuel in the chimney too.
In practice .they seem to boil up much quicker than this video..with only a few twigs or combustible debris ..More for carrying in a car than a rucksack ,'though .
@kingbleah There's a stainless steel version
