Our editorial approach
Charred Kettle is an independent publication about food, fire, coffee and the practical pleasures around them. We aim to make useful, specific content and to explain the basis of our advice.
Experience and research
We distinguish first-hand testing from researched guidance. We do not claim to have cooked a recipe, owned a product or visited a place unless that is true. Development recipes are identified, and indicative timings are not presented as tested results.
Photographs and concepts
The opening edition uses licensed editorial photography. These photographs are not presented as documentation of our own cooks. The concept collection uses AI-generated brand visualisations, clearly labelled as concepts.
Affiliate relationships
There are currently no affiliate purchase links on this site. If that changes, affected articles will explain that we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Gifted equipment, paid collaborations and other material relationships will be identified where relevant.
Conservation
Our conservation ambition is described on Wild Places. Thousand Year Trust is a prospective beneficiary, not an established partner. No active donation promise is being made.
