Silly me that other thread was yours <img align="absmiddle" src="forum_images/smiley9.gif" width="17" alt="17"> 'Can you camp in a tent porch' so you'll already be aware of the info regarding suitcase cookers.

"Cook", MOWWD... "Cook in a tent porch", not "Camp in a tent porch"!
You've let that nice new tent of yours addle your brain, haven't you?

I'm quite happy to use a very old Camping Gaz (two words in those days) double-burner-and-grill when I've got space to carry it and the gas cylinder (ie rarely!) and intend staying on the same site for a week or so (equally rarely), but usually take a well-used suitcase stove to which I've occasionally had to make the odd minor adjustment, but nothing a Swiss-Army-type-Knife couldn't fix.

Millerblade, do you actually need two burners?
If not, I suggest you get one suitcase stove - and possibly an Esbit compact folding solid fuel burner for emergencies (like caffeine deprivation when you've used the last gas cartridge) - then buy the larger stove if you find you need it.     The suitcase stove will still have its uses being light enough to carry to the beach, for instance.

We have used a double burner stove and grill for last 10 years and have just bought a campingaz 400 xcelerate after getting a good deal at halfords. The old kit was £60 for cooker, hose, regulator and bottle of gas a 907. The advantage of the 907 is size of bottles.
Know you pay more for a refii but they last ages. I think the current bottle has done 4 weeks of quite a bit of cooking and 2 of those for boiling kettle too, still about a 1/3 left in it.
Last stove was sunncamp and never able to simmer basically on or off no matter what you did with knob.
