Default Stoves?

I would reccomend against the Trangia myself as meths is diffficult to

burn
when it is cold (unless you get the gas conversion). I personally prefer
petrol stoves as you can always fill them up! However the new
propane/butane mix gas stoves with fuel pre-heaters are also very good


Some don't like petrol stoves as they 'feel' the smell may contaminate food
and bait.

The comments re propane/butane mix are spot on though. With Butane you can
have trouble in relatively mild weather (4 C) but the 'mix' works well to
very low temperatures.

I am an 'all year' caravanner also and use propane in that for the same
reason.
