{"title":"Outdoor Cooking \u0026 Fire","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeing able to boil water with no gas and no electricity is one of those capabilities you only appreciate at the exact moment you need it. Kelly kettles, camping stoves, fire steels and stormproof matches cover the brew-ups, the camp dinners and the power cuts — the same kit does weekend duty and emergency duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Kelly kettle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKelly kettle\u003c\/strong\u003e boils water in a few minutes on twigs, pinecones and whatever the garden offers — no fuel to buy, store or run out of. It's the single most useful piece of no-grid kit a household can own, which is why it anchors this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStoves, fire steels and stormproof matches\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCamping stoves\u003c\/strong\u003e bring controllable heat for actual cooking. \u003cstrong\u003eFire steels\u003c\/strong\u003e throw sparks at any temperature, soaked or frozen, for thousands of strikes; \u003cstrong\u003estormproof matches\u003c\/strong\u003e relight themselves in wind and rain. One of each lives happily in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/emergency-kits\"\u003ekit\u003c\/a\u003e. Important: all of this is outdoor kit — never use stoves or fuel burners indoors, and pair them with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/home-safety\"\u003eCO alarm\u003c\/a\u003e at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOutdoor cooking FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does a Kelly kettle boil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround 3–5 minutes for the family sizes with dry twigs — faster than most hobs, on free fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a camping stove indoors in a power cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — stoves and fuel burners produce carbon monoxide.
