camping stove?

[AxlFoley]

Im possibly on the look out for a new camping stove, i curently have a two burner hob with a small gass bottle that has served me well, but i will be using the gas bottle for my Propex heater, so i have been looking at the smaller cookers the ones with the gas bottle in the side.

Has any one used one? and what do you think about them? are they any good?

Thanks

works out expensive on the gas....

tee off the bottle and gas to both

I was thinking that, I filled my gas bottle about 5 years ago for £12 and its still half full.

I was thinking of having a T piece, and a long length of pipe, that I could run from in the van to the cooker, the only problem with that is that it would limit where i could cook,not that i guess thats a problem!

decisions desicions!

I have one of these for easy tea making - my main stove is a colemans dual burner petrol job and this is imo the best stove you can get , but it can be a faff just to boil a kettle (think pumping pressure, filling with petrol, loss of eyebrows on lighting!) - as posted above they can be expensive on gas but are convienient - they take an age to boil a kettle though compared to a petrol stove, you pay for that in the gas canisters and amount it takes to bring water to a boil - so handy to have for tea/coffee but I don't use it as a main cooking stove

Should add though that the gas canisters also fit into a nice portable gas heater which is handy
