Wow, someone else who has one of those little stoved. Also got mine years ago on the 'net. Still use it now and then. RE Kelly Kettle -- a friend has one. Ostensibly developed by & for Irish fishing guides to supply a hot cuppa to their clients during lulls in the fishing. It's good for wet stuff like tea, soup, or stew. You can't fry eggs in it. Nonetheless he very often carries it along on trips...
