It isn't your problem for not having a way to measure the water, but i think the company who makes meals for outdoors should assume most people don't and instead instruct to fill the pouch up "about half way" or "almost to the top". I think I will order the Kelly Kettle, simply because I can't find these in stock anywhere.. the must be a hit!
Thanks for sharing! From what I've seen/read, you do want to aim your firepan hole into the wind, which by the direction of the smoke looks to be about 11:00 from the camera view, though I think that rule of thumb may apply more the windier it is. Also, I'm surmising from the jet-stream of boiling water at 12:32 (along with your commentary) that pouring through the whistle is not the recommended method. I just ordered my .75L version from Lehman's Hardware last night (10-2-24), with a carry bag, and even with a 10% discount set me back $132 ($109 for the kettle & bag, ~$10 tax & $24! for standard shipping!).
@@IAMSatisfied the more I use it… the more I enjoy it.. especially in a camp environment. Now a long trek alone… might be a little bulky.. but it boils fast and I am impressed! Let me know how you like yours!

I got this one four months ago, and haven’t seen any anywhere for sale. So they must be good sellers. I will say, it boils water quickly!

I’d like to see more videos on these and also of what you originally wanted to do, cook on the top.
@@Meme-qd2oj coming soon!!! What would you like to see made?
Nice review! I really like storm kettles,the handles and build in legs are a big plus. I have one arriving in a couple of days.
I have really come to enjoy mine. Worth every penny, especially in base camp.
Ps thank you for the kind words!
Not a clue...
