Kelly Kettle Hobo Stove Kit - Large

This works great, boiling water in minutes in my billy pot. Packs small because you can fit things in it as well.

Received this product from Tim in a very timely and professional manner, so first off happy about that. Thanks Tim.
The Hobo Stove itself is a great Backpacker and Canoeist stove. So far used it on 2 trips, worked great. The stove nests inside the base, and my GSI Stainless Dualist fits inside the stove. Very compact.Stainless steel so it will last. Thanks again Canadian Outdoor Equipment

I love these little stick stoves, work great and they are easy to clean and store.

Used this to bring along with a firebox and an MSR stove for a 35 day canoe trip in NWT. We had it as a backup for area in the tundra when we might not have access to much wood. It definitely worked, but you really need a lot of twigs to get a post boiling (I can see the actual Kettle being much faster and more useful for getting water to boil). That being said we did do tea on it sometimes and at one point boiled pasta. Wind conditions are certainly a consideration with it as any open flame cooking. We probably didn't use it as much as we could have because we were often cooking something larger on the stove or fire. It would be really nice in the fall to take along on a hike to have a hot drink though.

Improved air flow would really take this stove to the next level. With that said great price for a tough dependable stove.

I just received my hobo stove today and am thrill with it :) I have used several stick stoves over the years, both purchased as well as home made and NONE are equal to this little guy :) First off, the stainless steel is thick enough that I can already tell its not going to warp, but still quick light and LOVE the way it packs away into the fire base. BUT the best feature I believe is something that no other product on the market offers. By removing the stoves cooking top, the fire base works perfectly as a little campfire, offering maximum campfire enjoyment. Simply pile the sticks on to build up a nice big fire, offering plenty of light and warmth. The fat rim on the outside allows to really make a decent fire, crossing good size pieces of wood right across. Then after enjoying a large fire and as the fire burns down into hot coals, place the cooking top on the fire base and get cooking. Then after cooking, pull the top off and stoke it up into another nice 12-18 in high campfire again, offering tons of open warm and light :) NO OTHER STOVE ON THE MARKET offers this versatility !!!!!! - I LOVE IT !!!!! I am so happy with this stove I am going to order the small version very soon so I have the versatility of a daypack stove to just heat a cup of tea on the go. Thank you Canadian Outdoor Equipment for the wonderful quick service and the super great stick stove at a very competitive price :) - LOVE IT !
