it should run ok using Calor Gas, as long as you purchase an appropriate regulator.

difficult to say how long it would last, but I would say you should get a weeks holiday out of a smallish bottle, if not more - but please don't hold me to that.

I think I am correct in saying that it will also run on a 904 bottle which is smaller. I know ours does. It has lasted us a week no problems.

You will of course need the correct regulator for the bottle and type of gas.

gas bottle seems expensive at first but once you have bought it you just pay to re-fill it (exchange it for a full one). We got ours May last year and still haven't replaced it - although I'm not sure it will last long this weekend!?! lol.

Thanks guys. I think I'll take a trip to the tip and see if I can get a Calor gas bottle, are they all the same size? Sorry to sound like a total idiot but where can you buy a regulator suitable for a calor bottle from?

Hi Debbie,we have just bought that cooker,it comes with a camping gaz regulator.We use a 4.5kg butane gas bottle which lasts ages.Get a butane regulator but save the camping gaz one in case you go abroad as butane is not available in europe.I think Go-Outdoors are selling 4.5kg re-fills for £11.95.

I'd want the smallest possible. I've only just got the Mrs to agree to camping and even then it's only weekends as that is how long she can go without a shower.

why would she have to go without a shower? campsites have these!
