Hi there

as you can see I am a total newbie to all of this & have about a million & one questions

I was just wondering what peoples views were about the different fuel types? what experiences have you had & is there a general 'better' one ??

many thanks

Gas is what most folk use, you just turn it on & light it. I really wouldn't bother with a dual fuel stove, whats the point when gas is easily available?

It is each to there own, we use a coleman multi fuel for all our cooking but we also use a Suncamp single ring for brewing up.I dont like lugging around a big gas bottle just for the cooker.Although we are looking at getting a 3way fridge for net season so we might go all gas.   
I'm sure that has cleared everything up for you.lol

Like pj72 said, each to their own - but he's thinking of going all gas because he may buy a fridge.

We're pretty much the same - we take all petrol if we leave the fridge behind. But if the fridge makes it into the car, then we go all gas. But I do resent having to cart around a gas bottle.

Petrol is a lot cheaper than gas. Big bottles of gas are cheaper than little disposable canisters. But little canisters are easier to manage than either a gas bottle or petrol.

What I couldn't be bothered with is an electric this, and a gas that and a petrol the next thing.

Now, if I could only find a petrol fridge ??!!

We love our coleman dualfuel stove! 

Fantastic heat, cheap and convenient to fill, petrol is readily available, stove is compact and easy to use (once you have read the instructions).
