This Sirram thread is really interesting. Ive had a Kelly Kettle for nearly 40 years, but just acquired a Sirram for what I feel was a good price £20. It has the steel base and Flask (I had to fink a cork for that). Its embossed on the top. Just wondering on its age would you say post 1950’s. Got to say I like it a lot.
I’m taking a guess at the diameter but I suspect that the Kelly Hobo stove would fit it and with a bit of luck pack into the fire base. It weighs practically nothing and packed away it takes up no significant space. i regularly cook meals on mine and I’ve used it to make yeast bread. It can be so much more than a kettle if you let it You can’t blame the Kelly marketing people but I’m always amused that their kit is bright and shiny while it’s cooking. Mine has not looked like that since sixty seconds after the first time that I used it. Your Marris can be a great piece of kit for water AND for cooking.
Thanks for the replies guys. I like the design of this like how the base is held by the body. And the internal fitting spare flask. It measures opprox 12” tall (without the base) and about 6” dia. Looking forward to using this. Only downside has been the spare flask covered with limescale. Im slowly getting there cleaning with washes of Coca-cola, I dont want to wreck the anodised finish.
