What a posh kettle you have! Our kitchen is a bit like yours, so I can't fit 2 suitcase stoves side by side, one has to be turned 90degrees to fit,
our very posh kettle was a present from an american friend whose husband melted our similar looking elecric kettle, at home, by putting it on the gas stove! 
I forgot to pack it, last time we went to a festival so another friend got me the cute one with blue handles that we used last week.
It's a shame those camp kitchen thingies don't come wide enough for two suitcase cookers the right way round. :(
our second cooker packed up altogether last week (it must be at least 10 years old) so we really were 'challenged' in our latest kitchen. We'd left the camp kitchen stand behind as it was a bit bent, after two weeks on that slope last year and anyway we would have had to have sacrificed something else to fit it in. we just took the shield bit, which worked fine on the ground when the weather was a bit more reasonable.
I do love the dorset slopes but they are a bit more challenging weather wise than the New Forest. At least you don't have to guard everything from the horses!
do not buy your cannisters in halfords. I went without rather than pay their price last year (although i think they have seen sense and dropped it a bit) but luckily found some for reasonable money in a campsite shop at Osmington Mills.
but do buy a stove top barbecue  , from lakeland (do they still do it ?) it does lovely croissants too :)
