Stoves?

Hi, any recommendations on cooking stoves?

Gas seems to be the tidiest, but I am open to suggestions, as I have
absolutely no idea what to look for in a stove.

All I want it for is basic cooking. IE/ Eggs, bacon, water for coffee/pot
noodles, etc.

Cheers.

Go to one of these camping shops and buy youself a Trangier. Three bowls in
one, a kettle with enough water to shave and have breakfast, cook all your
breakfeast and coffee. Extra water into the flask for coffee.

Yes, you'll get the best choice in a camping shop but, if there isn't one
nearby, Milletts do small gas stoves + pot & pan combos.

I've got me caravan so full gas stove for hot
fridge for COLD beer (and Vodka)
Heating for cold nights
spare ice box for maggots

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.

Sounds good! And the look on the bailiffs face would be hilarious when I
park a caravan on the peg. ;-)))

You won't go wrong with a coleman sportster 533 dual fuel. They run on
unleaded petrol and are mighty powerful. Even in cold, wet and windy
conditions they boil a kettle in no time. I have used one for years and
found them very hard wearing and reliable.

i use a sportster as well and keep a lenth of tubing with a in line filter
fitted in my car for refilling
but these stoves have been known to clog up
i put a dash of redex in and have had no probs up to now
the cheapest is the campig gas stove i think it is a 206
the cartridges for these can be had for a quid a time and last a good while
i tend to use one of these mostly
because they are light and cheap to run

Do you 'taste' the fuel in your cooking?
