## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this kettle fit over a 3" stove flue? If it does, I will buy one and fit a small tap at the bottom for hot water on demand.**
A: The 1.6 Ltd one will.fit over a 3 inch flue easily, in fact it would fit over a 5 inch pipe.
They boil pretty quick , (using the conventional 
method of sticks etc ) so you'd have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil dry.
Shame to drill a hole in it for a tap, when all you got to do is lift it off to pour, that would be like drilling a hole and fitting a tap in an electric kettle,

**Q: Are you allowed to use this in the many places in the UK that say no fires or no barbecues?**
A: No. Sorry!  Not only is it due to heat transference but also sparks can easily fly out once you’ve lifted the kettle to pour your water; the bowl of fire at the bottom is completely open! It can blow over in the wind as well - once the weight of the kettle is removed! We had a similar thing with ours in our own garden! Queue smouldering leaves! Argh!

**Q: Can you fill it with water at home before you leave or do you need to bring a separate flask?**
A: No, the Kettles are now fitted with the Green Whistle Cap, as standard, and will leak water unless a filled kettle remains upright. The superceded Orange Caps, which were water tight, can still be purchased from the Manufacturer.

**Q: Base camp' kelly kettle® 1.6 ltr (stainless steel) what material is the fire-base made of.**
A: Same as the kettle- stainless steel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product
*by B***N on 14 February 2013*

For many years I have been after the stainless steel version. Most others are aluminium. Unfortunately the company sent me the smaller size, as I needed to use it they refunded the price difference. The kettle boils very quickly and is easy to use. Great for a brew out in the fields. Would recommend very well built and easy to clean.
