Coleman is fantastic but gets a bit of getting used to.

Much better than gas as it's hotter and quicker , also you can put any unused petrol back into the car !!

Sorry scrap that!! I just found a supplier on line. - at £5.29 for HALF A LITRE. Im afraid im sticking to my more dangerous, but a lot cheaper unleaded petrol. Its not caused me any problems in the past, so until it does im sticking to it.

Around £5 per half litre is a typical price for Coleman Fuel.  Aspen 4T is equaly as good and I paid around £12 for 5 litres last time I bought some.

How much cook time would you estimate from 5 litres of Aspen????

As a novice camper would the coleman cause me too many problems on my first family camping trip??

Can anyone source a coleman for less than £89.99 at present?

we used a  dual fuel for lightweight & backpacking on unleaded with no problems , prior to that we had a coleman peak feather442 which clogged up on unleaded although they were supposed to run on it. We always cooked in the front of the tent or outside & kept a knife handy to cut thro the tent walls if trapped inside, but having seen a tent go up when a gas cartridge was changed next to a lit stove by leaving the valve open I doubt if we would have got out in time. I have also set myself on fire by changing a cartridge incorrectly on a gaz bluet stove.

Not certain if I should get a duel fuel stove as have a habit of blowing half the garden up with my bonfires.

        am veering between a gas or duel fuel for my first stove, the fact that gas containers are not easily disposable is a big factor for me.

       We will be camping using a couple of recumbent trikes so weight is an issue but not the deciding factor.

        All this has been very informative and any comments to help would be welcome.
