I have actually contacted Kelly Kettle on a few occasions to ask if they would consider making a larger kettle. They told me there was not enough demand in larger kettles to make it cost effective.

Just found a review of one of these. Not good. http://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?9063-Disappointing-Thermette! I'm 90% leaning towards to a kettle mounted on top of a DK Rocket stove.

We're a conservation group in Cardiff. Once upon a time, before anyone can remember, some bright fellow welded a pot stand to a bunsen burner. We did use the triple S storm kettle for about 3 years but then it started to leak water and let smoke into the water chamber. The tea started...

I find the fact it's heavy reassuring. It certainly looks solid enough from the videos. We need something that is simple and solid. Shame that it might not boil a kettle of water quickly. I don't suppose you could boil a litre and let me know how long it takes? :)

That wouldn't always be good for us. The thing is, large open fires are not efficient in terms of wood or time. It's fine when we're coppicing or hedge laying; we generate tonnes of wood then but often we'll be on a mountain side somewhere or a school garden where a wood isn't in abundance or a...

That's the triple S storm kettle. Like I said, we have one of them already. The build quality is awful and now leaks after 3 years of constant use. To be fair, when I contacted the manufacturer the said they would sell us a new one at 25% discount. However, I'd rather spend the money and get...

4 Litres was a rough guess. 4000ml / 16 thirsty volunteers = 250ml each. We did borrow some small storm kettles to try that but to be honest, we found it a bit of a faff when there was 10 people or more. (And there often are.) Keeping multiple little fires going is fiddly. Also, the little...

We do already have a kettle like that, we currently stick it on the bunsen burner. The problem with that is getting an open fire going. It's a lot of work for a quick brew. You need lots of wood and it takes a long time. (Compared to the storm kettle.) We also work in places where open fires...

Wow, they look pretty good. Has anyone here used one? Shame they are in New Zealand though. I don't suppose you know if there are any UK distributors?

Enough hot water for about 12 to 16 mugs of tea. 4 litres would probably be enough plus some extra for washing out. Currently we've got an ancient Bunsen burner welded to a pot stand which is connected to a butane canister. Whilst that works fine it is deafening to be near. It also struggles in...

Hello, I'm part of a conservation group in Cardiff and we're looking around for a way of boiling water in the field using wood. We've tried kelly kettles but they are too small for large groups. We bought the Triple S from Eyedon. The build quality was awful, it dented easily, rusted and...

How much did that cost to buy from New Zealand if you don't mind me asking. Are there any UK websites which stock that?

Since our triple S has been making the tea taste dreadful we've gone back to a kettle mounted on a bunsen burner. It means we have a take a bottle of butane out with us but the tea tastes better. The water is taken from the same tap as always which proves it was the triple S causing the foul...

Hello, Sorry for responding to such an old thread. Having used this large storm kettle weekly with my conservation group for over 3 years I thought I would add some feedback in case anyone else is thinking of getting one. Cardiff Conservation Volunteers bought one of these for their morning...
