Eydon Kettle Original STORM™ Kettle
Camping and Outdoors October 6, 2025
Each year, me and my partner go camping. To keep things easy, we take food that just needs hot water adding to it to be edible such as powdered mash, porridge or noodles in a pot. So, our kettle and camping stove are essential. And, inevitably, every year we scurry about like headless chickens checking how much gas we have left in the tins we have and panic-buying to make sure we don’t run out ending up with loads of half-used gas containers. Then we get there and find out the lid is missing for the kettle…
This thing then, is a god-send and I can’t believe I’ve never found it before. Quite simply you pour the water in through the nozzle where the cork resides, start up a fire using paper and kindling in the base of the kettle and let it do its thing. The chimney heats the water very effectively and in no time you have up to 2 ½ pints of hot water. Oh, don’t ever leave the cork in as it’s boiling! If the fire starts to die down, you can add more fuel in the top (twigs, more kindling, sensitive documents…). Once boiled, you have a handle and the chain the cork is attached to allowing you to safely pour without risk of scalding yourself. The fire base detaches allowing you to easily clean it out of debris once done.
The STORM™ Kettle doesn’t just boil water however, it’s more versatile than that. You can additionally purchase a kit that allows you to use it as a cooking fire with a platform for a pan so, if you do get fed up of re-hydrated meals, you’ve got other options too. All-in-all a very efficient and useful bit of kit that takes up far less space than a traditional kettle and stove and is a lot less faff! RRP £65.99
- Lightweight (1Lb, 13 oz’s)
- Only 12 inches long when not in use so packs taking up minimal space
- Boils quickly
- No additional fuel other than natural sources
- If you want to use it as a stove too, it costs extra for the equipment and is one pan at a time – don’t expect gourmet meals!
