I've never used one, but did get a good look at one at the Game Fair at Shane's Castle last year.  Of course it's going to be too heavy and bulky for most backpackers, but there is an interesting lightweight alternative called the mKettle.  It's a bit pricey, but it's all made right here in the UK and seems like a quality piece of kit.  Would be interested to see one in action!

They're pretty cool but quite heavy.

My kayaking pals introduced me to the kettle a few years ago. I think they are great and have been watching for one on EBay for a while hoping the price might go down. Go for it!!

Did a bit of comparison between the kettle and the trangia 27

Trangia 27-1 UL

Nr 140271 Ultralight Aluminium.
Stove with 2 1.0 litre saucepans, graded and ungraded, 1 frypan, 18 cm. Weight 720g.

Kellykettle

Product Dimensions:
Kettle Height .......27cm / 10.6 inches (packed)
Kettle Diameter....14cm / 5.5 inches
Kettle Capacity.....20oz (UK) / 0.57ltr
Pot Capacity........ 15oz (UK) / 0.43ltr
Kit Weight............1.63lb / 0.76kg

When you consider that you wont need to carry fuel, the kettle seems a good enough yoke, the pots smaller obviously, but I like the idea that you could cook and boil water at the same time! Im seriously considering getting one of these!

The 27-L is for two people and comes with 2 pots and a frying pan plus pot grabber etc so you defo get more for your weight.

I hope my friend Val doesn't mind me reposting her picture, but she went on a camping meet last weekend and one of the guys turned up with an M kettle.

I've got one and a half kelly kettles.

I got one a few years ago and used it camping (car or canoe; it's a bit big for a day hike)
They say it's expected to leak the first couple of times, and then it seals itself.  mine kept leaking so much it was putting out the fire no matter how much I used it.  When I sent an email telling the manufacturers, they sent me a replacement main kettle part straight away. 

That was the winter before last, and I'm afraid haven't tried it since.  I'll probably dig it out and fire it up this summer.

I have a kelly kettle and i love it, it comes with me on all my canoe trips and it has even replaced the aul trangie, its a great piece of kit

Ive a kelly kettle and I love it I like the way you can gather fuel as you go although I use cotton wool balls and vaseline as tinder lights really quickly

Im definitely gonna save up and get one of these, maybe not for trekking purposes, but for the old car camping it would be ideal I feel, especially the price that gas is getting, I think you could get away with using a small frying pan on it too, for those essential fry ups!!
