I have the small (one pint, 20 oz) version of the Kelly Kettle. It is a very nicely made and efficient boiler.

I have posted a combined review at OldJimbos site

Overall, for emergency use (coffee making after a hurricane <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) I would recommend the larger kettle over the smaller. I am going to buy the larger one someday. I really like the small fire, poor fuels, quick boiling aspects of these kettles. They are not cheap, but worth the money IMO for their unique operation.

Here were the only US outlets I could find at the beginning of the summer. Lee Valley best price on the small, Garrett Wade best for the large.

Make sure you note that some of these are the one pint (small) version and some are 2.5 pint (large) versions.

I think the Garret Wade large with accessory kit is the best value I have found in the US. Lee Valleys small is the best value for that model. UK prices, shipping and VAT etc would be a good alternative to research.
