Cool little kettle
Lyle
Member since
Perfect for making a couple cups of coffee,tea, broth, oatmeal... you name it.
Spout pours nice and clean. I wouldn't put anything but water in it as it'd be hard for me to fit my hand in to clean it. Not everyone would have a problem with that.
Perfect Size for Two

Light high quality. Perfect size for two people.

I was wondering if this kettle will fit in the Trangia-25 cook set?
Thanks

I just received my GSI Kettle today. To my question, Yes, it fits well in a Trangia - 25 but not in the Trangia - 27 though. It's to big.
Sweet kettle
Sherpa Dad

Sweet kettle. Wide base provides for faster boil times and great stability. I stash the handle and the rest of a kit for two, not including canister, in the kettle. Cork in the spout reduces slop, improves capacity and keeps sharp edge of spout from cutting other items in or body of pack itself. GSI makes a 14oz nesting, lidded mug/bowl set that fits inside well. They don't sell it commonly, focusing on the 20oz set, but should be available when calling GSI Outdoors directly at 800.704.4474. Can also swap a 14oz mug/bowl from a smaller GSI set such as Micro Dualist into kettle for fast and light kit. A wide rubber band keeps the lid in place in transit. Great for boiling and re-hydrating. Not as uber-light as titanium or a beer can pot but use some common sense and this kettle is bomb proof.
Highly recommend this as well as GSI Ketalist to Boy Scouts or others new to the trail acquiring gear for backpacking.
Sweet kettle!

This kettle was easily my best gear purchase of 2011! Overall, I am very happy with this product. I use the Ketalist primarily for boiling water or brewing up cowboy coffee over my Trangia stove, which nests neatly inside the kettle (along with the Trangia windscreen, a sea to summit collapsible cup, bandana/rag, and a few other small items). Having previously carried a small cookset, I was ready to trim a few ounces off my pack weight and this has served me very well. I removed the rubberized handle and lid grips as soon as I got it, so have no idea how they would have held up. I assume they would melt quite easily. Quick tip for those who care: Trim down a cork to fit the spout and your water will boil approx. 2 minutes faster!
Killer gear

I have the nested soloist 'ketalist' kit and love it! Absolutely the best all around water boiler I've used, and a great system of cup/bowl. This kettle has elevated to 'instant replace' status should anything happen. My only wish is to have a whistling spout cover--it is a kettle after all.
Does GSI make a cup or bowl that nests...

Does GSI make a cup or bowl that nests inside the 32oz kettle like it does for the larger version?

Not that I have seen, but this is a great kettle

The GSI Halulite Ketalist Cookset comes with this particular kettle and two special bowls that will nest inside of it.

Great lightweight tea kettle

Rugged, boils water very fast and lightweight enough to take along. Holds enough water for even the largest freeze dried package meals.
Excellent Kettle
T.D.
Member since
This thing is fantastic! Bought it last year and it's been great. Very light, durable and with the added accessories very versatile. Cheaper than Titanium, but most all the benefits of the more expensive metal. I would buy it again and won't take a trip without it! Highly recommend it!

Time to boil dinner...

Here I am using the kettle with my Original WBS. They are a great combo! The wide base on the kettle makes heating water very quick.
Good Kettle/ Poor Lid
Dwayne Vincent
Member since
A good kettle but the lid does not like to stay on during pouring, and even the little rubber part at the top, heats up pretty quickly
Dwayne Vincent
Member since
Flames dont lap over the sides of mine either. I use a Brunton Raptor mainly. It is a great kettle, but using a different material for the top tab, would solve issues. I probably use the kettle more than you do, more than most people. My wife and I are coffee addicts, so cooler wet weather, it is being used almost non stop
how many liters can the kettle contain?

how many liters can the kettle contain?

The one US quart capacity is equal to 950ml.
Mike Milfer

1 US quart is actually 0.95l professor not ml.

I get two full xlarge travel mugs full of coffee per kettle
Chad Poindexter
Member since
I can pour 4 cups of water into the kettle, but when I do this the water is sitting at the very tip of the spout so as soon as it starts to boil, water starts shooting out of the spout!
tyrel bassett
Member since
950ml is .95 liters "professor"
Great Product
Mark Payne
Member since
This little tea kettle works great. It is just the right size for my wife and I yet small and lite enough for use to take it anywhere. Even when we go car camping with the rest of the family we will take it with a back packing stove with us. When we wake up in the morning we will put it on just outside of the tent and then start getting ready. By the time we are ready to leave the tent the water is boiling and ready for a hot cup of tea. Perfect for those cold mornings. It is also lite enough to take back packing and small enough to not take up to much valuable space.
GSI Kettle with Alcohol Stove

This Kettle is the perfect size to use with Alcohol stoves - especially the Super Cat (www.supercatstove.com).
Using it the old fashion way

The orange handle turned a little black and the bottom was slightly discolored but it worked great other than that.
Perfect for Quick Meals
Brian Reyman
Member since
Great product. It boils water fast, weighs almost nothing and is durable enough to take a beating. It's all that is needed for 1-2 people for food rehydration and hot drinks. What's not to like?
Great, But Wish There Was a Bigger Version
Merebea Danforth
Member since
This kettle is impressively light, and I know it will be perfect for short overnight backpacking trips for which I just want a bit of hot water. I do wish GSI made a bigger version for when I'm car camping with a bigger group of people or for river trips, but I guess I could also pick up an old kettle at the local thrift store. I definitely recommend this kettle for those looking for a lightweight kettle at a good price.

Backcountry doesn't carry them, but there is a larger kettle available, (1.5L) by Primus, of the same material.
