The Scout is the medium size Kelly Kettle. The 41 oz Kettle, Cook Set and Pot Support fit neatly together into their own drawstring carrying bag which can be put into or carried hanging from a rucksack or backpack.
The Kelly Kettle Scout Basic Kit is a highly efficient outdoor camping kit suitable for car camping, family picnics, scouts, kayaking, caravan camping and outdoor education. Even though the Scout is technically the ‘middle’ size kettle, it is still a large stainless steel kettle which holds 41 fluid ounces and is a vital piece of gear for wilderness survival kits / disaster kits.
A green whistle has replaced the orange stopper on the Kettles and will sound a nice loud whistle to let you know when the water has boiled. Older Kelly Kettles may have an Orange Rubber or Cork Stopper. These MUST ALWAYS be removed before using the kettle. The Kettle must never be boiled with the older stoppers in the spout, but the new GREEN camping kettle with whistle can be left in while the water is boiling.
All Kelly Kettle products are the best kettle for camping as they work extremely well in stormy weather conditions. They are a vital piece of camping equipment for any outdoor adventure. Extremely dependable as they have no moving parts to fail or break.
Never pack fuel again and save money. Kelly Kettles are cost free to run and eco-friendly, as they use all natural fuel such as twigs, dry grass, heather, birch bark, pine cones, dry animal dung, etc. Remember: The Kettle has been designed to boil water extremely fast in all weather conditions using very little fuel. When filled with water, the Kelly Kettle should always be carried upright to avoid any spillage/leakage from the water spout or chimney top.
Kelly Kettle users have described their kettles as the “Greatest Invention of all Time”.
Ultimate Kits are absolutely the best value when purchasing Kelly Kettle products!
Note: The fire bases invert partially up into the bottom of our Kelly Kettles to make the unit as compact as possible for transporting and storage. Normally, the fire base will not invert fully up into the kettle. This is particularly evident with the Medium size Kelly Kettle. Never force the inverted base up into the Kelly Kettle to try and achieve a “Perfect Fit.” This may cause damage to your Kelly Kettle or result in the base becoming stuck within the kettle.

Works fine, but don’t bother with the pot on top of the chimney as a means for cooking. I bought this so that we could boil water for coffee and heat up hot chocolate with milk at the same time without taking up a burner on our camp stove that we need to cook breakfast, and without using more propane. The positives: it’s easy to get a fire going, and once the fire is going, the water boils quickly. We did find that we needed to keep feeding the fire for the first several minutes or it burned out quickly before heating the water. But, it was easy for my elementary-aged son to start the fire and keep it going. The pot that comes with easily fit enough cocoa for two mugs, and the kettle boiled enough water for two good-sized cups of coffee and a little water left over for putting out the fire. It was very convenient to use the little twigs and leaves on our campsite as fuel. The negatives: First, this is bulky. This is NOT a piece of backpacking equipment. When we tried to heat the cocoa using the potholder in the chimney, it snuffed out the fire and we had to take everything off to restart the fire. Even after we got the fire going again, we could not get it hot enough to heat the cocoa and ended up waiting until the water boiled, then putting the grate on top of the firebase and heating it directly that way. Definitely not the convenient one-stop cooking unit I was hoping for. I did not buy the hobo stove, but now that I know how this really works, I think I will add that to my kit for a better cooking surface than the grill. Tips: Use a fire starter (I used lint inside a paper toilet paper roll wrapped in newspaper) and keep feeding the fire for several minutes; get the hobo stove and don’t try to use the chimney for cooking, get the whistle stopper to keep the boiling water from spilling, pack a hot pad.

Only one problem! I even let the small ones add tinder (pine needles and small sticks) to keep the tea water hot and boiling. I had to place a strategic rock to keep the “littles” from adding pine needles to the water by accident. Once I’d done that, all was well. God bless the Irishman for inventing this kettle. Excellent, easily carried, addition to my pack. I love the Scout.

Great camp stove. Good product, chain that holds to cap is substandard. Other than that, great camping product for day hikes, boondocking, or car camping. Items nest together for travel and storage, heats the water quickly and you can cook food on the top of the stove at the same time.
