hi am going on our first camping trip in couple of weeks for weekend and wondered if two rings on a cooker are enough or do some of you use an extra ring too.going to a quiet camp so not too many facilities if cooking doesnt go to plan.dont think kids will live on bacon butties (shame) : )

For a weekend, our 3 lived on toast, coco pops (boy! do they take some getting out of sleeping bags), ham sandwiches, cooked chicken and salad. We only used the stove for tea and toast.

If you need an extra ring, the bistro stoves are £7.99 at Netto.

You should be fine with 2 rings. Just plan your meals well. 3 rings just allows you be a little bit less 'frantic'.

Preparation is everything!

Hi Shaziebutt

We went away for the first time recently (family of 4) and managed fine with 2 rings. I did plan ahead what we would be eating, so cookered a curry on one night with boil in bag rice, spag bol the next etc. Somewhere on here is a link to lots of camping recipes...one pot stuff, I have seen it but can't remember where it is...have a search around or ask.
