Thats a niffty little kitchen !

We have one of these, you can see it in our pics, it is fantastic, its easy to put together, our only recommendation after 2 years of using it is don't bother putting the shelf in with the stupid wing nuts provided, they are horrendous to put get in place, and can it can take longer putting these in place than putting the whole tent up... we invested in a bag of cable ties and use these to put the shelf up then just cut them  off when it's time to take the kitchen down. It's great as a storage place, we leave tea bag, coffee and jars and cutlery in ours and we leave it outside all the time, well under the canopy. The griddle provided is brilliant for burgers, kebabs etc, and its easy to keep clean.

We got ours from Outdoor Megastore in Bootle (our local shop) and paid £40 3 years ago, it had been a shop display model so that's a good price you've got it for.

Spideygirl yes you do need a regulator

Thanks for the link Alanm, I'm just starting out and so far have tent plus coleman northstar lamp so I think this will be my 3rd buy!

What is a regulator btw?

pootleflump a regulator converts the gas pressure in the bottle to that required by the cooker.

I am hoping to buy one of these cookers.  I like the fact that the cupboard is all in one with the cooker.

Taek 1 the best thing is that the cupboard is also the bag that it is carried in, just folded up and then inside out, and it does always fit back into the bag, the legs attach to the bottom on the "case" via velcro straps and everything else fits inside.  Definately a good buy at the price shown, we wouldn't change ours for anything else.

Shed63, your welcome to the tip, it took us 2 years to work it out and it was only when I went away on my own with the kids and gave up with the fiddly things  that I thought of the cable ties, originally thought of string and then brought it up to date a bit better, bags of ties cost £'s in B&Q etc and you get hundreds in a bag defo the way to do this.

Wow!

Why didn't i think of that. Spent ages last camping trip trying to get those screws through fabric and legs!! Frustration levels were at an all time high after getting tent put up with other half, blowing up airbeds and then trying to get the cooker together before the kettle can be put on!!!

Other than that we love this cooker. I would really recommend it particularly if you don't have an enormous tent or if you have dogs as you can sttore a lot of stuff in the cupboard. We can also move ours in and out even with the cupboard full.

The cooker also comes with the rubber tube you need to connect to gas and the clips, however, you will require a regulator and gas bottle. It tells you on the box i think which is needed otherwise the people at the shop should be able to tell you.

meeks you just need to be genius   !!!!  or down right against anything fiddly like I am,  my OH has done this with the wingnuts for 3 trips, yes he did cuss and faf, but he got it done, whilst me and the kids did everything else. I went for 5 days on my own with kids and thought "S*d that" for a game of soldiers  (after 10 minutes) where's the nearest B&Q for some string.
