The Ghillie Kettle has produced camping kettles for centuries and they are still being handmade in Birmingham the age old traditional way.

 

Our kettles have one unique feature; all of our Ghillie Kettles come complete with their own whistle. This makes for a safer product as you know exactly when the kettle reaches boiling point.

 

All of our Kettles are delivered in their own carry sack with shoulder straps and are supplied with full instructions.

The Ghillie Kettle is ideal for camping, fishing, hiking and any outdoor activity as they are perfect for use in harsh conditions, even when it's wet and windy. It is quick to boil, durable and simple to use with no need for gas or artificial fuel; you can simply use twigs, fir cones, dry leaves, news paper etc.

​

We offer 2 types of Ghillie Kettle; Aluminium and Anodised. So what is anodising?

 

Our Anodised Kettles are semi hard anodised; this means that they are more durable and more resistant to  corrosion and wear. The process of semi hard anodosing sees the aluminium cleaned and prepared before undergoing submersion in an acidic electrolytic solution where an electrical current is passed through the solution with a cathode mounted on the interior of the tank, whilst the submerged kettle serves as the anode. This forms an oxide layer on the kettle. This aluminium oxide is not attached to the surface, it is fully integrated with the underlying aluminium substrate. Finally the anodised kettle is sealed to prevent any contamination and enhance corrosion resistance. 

​

The semi hard anodising process is ideal for our kettles as it makes them more resistant to abrasions and corrosion and it preserves the metals metallic look in contrast to other metallic finishes.

​

The Ghillie Kettle is handmade from start to finish by a small team of local craftsmen in the heart of Birmingham, not too far away from the original George Marris & Co factory!
