I am amazed there is another "Kelly" out there. The Thermette is sold locally for me, so I may check it out sometime. I would be curious about the copper version, but overall I think that I like the Storm or Kelly configuration a bit better.

Once you pick up a Kelly like a bucket with it burning you very quickly discover a better way. The bail is heavy wire so that you can actually pick up the kettle with the bail horizontal to the chimney until you swing iy away from the fire pan. This is easy to do, but if you do not, you will never forget this lesson.

Hope that the Popular works PresumedLost. I think I am adding the largest Storm to my Christmas list, but I may change this after seeing the Thermette. I want one for my home kit.

My chimney is black from burning wood or cones. I am not sure it increased the boiling efficiency, but next time I am using it I will precisely time it. Using this indoors now would probably scent up the kitchen a might.....not a bad thing altogether really.
