tina, have a look at the coleman perfect flow double burner,it has 2 big gas burners that will take 2 good size pans,we decided on it to eliminate some of safety reasons people have mentioned above,works just as good as our gas hob at home,would link you to one but don't know how to.

I considered one of them, I like the look of it. I tried to justify it but it is more expensive with more expensive gas, and not as convenient as two seperate suitcase stoves. Have I missed something?

I have just come back from a trip having bought an outwell single burner portable stove. I was very impressed with it. It does however need screening well from the wind as the safety device cuts the gas off. Because of the weather I cooked just inside the door of the tent where a single canister cooked four main meals and around ten kettle boils. because they are so cheap and efficient I will definately be getting another one for next year.

We use a couple of compact folding windshields from such as Gelert to shield our suitcase stove (see below). These have thin poles at the end designed to stick into the ground but we have developed a method that means we can use them on a table. BTW one of these wind shields will fit in our Campingaz Bistro case along with the stove.

Our method - We have a few plastic bulldog clips with small holes in the ends which we use for all sorts of purposes camping (similar to the ones pictured). We clip these to a backpacker table/roll-top table and pop the thin poles of the windshield through the 2 holes in each clip. Holds the windshields nice, firm and upright around the suitcase stove.

BTW - these clips can also be used to secure tablecloths, as clothes pegs, hold a rubbish bag on a windbreak and even a lamp or light coat on an upright pole ... we have 4 and they always seem to be in use for something...
