I have had a few gas ones the last one being the hi gear one from go outdoors and this is probably the worst one we have had.Deffinetly wouldnt use one in a tent.
In windy weather they struggle when used outside.
this season i bought an electric hot plate (£12 off ebay bargain) but I tend to use it outside on a cooking stand as they do get very hot and stay hot for ages when switched off, and obviously dont use it outside if its raining. but we caravan so can put it in the awning.
Aldi or Lidls (not sure which one) have an induction one on sale for about £40 plus the new pans if you havent got any to suit. these are safer as they dont actualley heat up.
It depends on your setup, ei. how big is you tent, will you use it on a stand, do you have kiddies etc

Topic: Single ring stove
, using pans that were too large so that they deflected heat down towards the cannister and faulty cheap gas cannisters. There is also the risk of a faulty piece of equipment, but that can effect any type of equipment. I must admit that given that they appear so easy to use, there is a real risk that people don't bother to read the instructions or keep them maintained. The stoves are not all made to the same specification either, just studying them will reveal the differences. We have certainly found the aerosol type gas cannisters to perform very differently so only use Campingaz ones now in combination with a Campingaz stove.
