Our old cooker has finally given up on us (after around 25 years!) and we need to replace.  We need two burners, grill and built in windshield.  Which do you recommend?  I have seen the Coleman ones, and like the look of them, but are they any good?

If we hadn't had a kitchen unit with the trailer tent then this is the one I would of gone for.

Have seen these in Asda.

Hi Pip
My coleman 424 is fantastic but it doesn't have a grill. For toast, we use one of those wire mesh things you use on top of the hob, which works well.

You can see them on ebay as well as many other places although it would pay to shop around first.

what brand is it? and what model?  I can't see anything on your post except for

      "If we hadn't had a kitchen unit with the trailer tent then this is the one I would of gone for. Have seen these in Asda."

Cheers

We have this, and can highly recommend it.

To be honest though, we don't use the legs or any part of the stand, just plonk it on a table.

Hi folks,

as just the two of us most of the time, we've got a calor lagon 2 ring burner with a built in windshield and a separate gas ring thingy (the ones that run on canister gas) so I can get the water boiling while I'm doing the fry-up and beans at breakfast time!

We only started camping last year and we went for the Coleman after reading a lot of stuff on here.

It was absolutely the right decision, it worked perfectly.

If you do buy one have a practice run in the garden before you go away, it is slightly more effort than gas, but well worth the effort.

Much cheaper to run than gas too, and you don't have to lug the huge gas bottle around with you. I found a web site that detailed how to rebuild a Coleman too,which looked about 25 years old, they seem to have quite a following.

We're now looking to get a Coleman lamp.
