Anyone ever used a Kelly kettle? I know it is heavy and bulky and I would never take on a hunt or serious scouting trip, but for some reason it strikes my interest for winter camping and car camping? Anyone have any experience with one?

I haven't seen the Kelly kettle, but I have the back country boiler. I used it for 6 days on spring bear this year. Weight is around 7 ounces. I think any wood burner shares the same problems. 1 they stink and that could be a problem archery hunting. 2 I'd be real nervous about using a wood burner during archery season when it's peak fire season.Other than that mine worked great except for one evening we were bivyed out at tree line and we had a hard thunder and hail storm. Everything was wet. I had a heck of a time finding dry kindling to boil water. Everyone else just fired up their jet boils and had instant water. It took me around 15 minutes and a lot of fire starter.
