A wind shield is a must with any camping stove, but cooking in the tent is not to be recommended, except in very extreme circumstances.
Thick layers of black soot would indicate a problem with your burner, you shouldn't have this problem with a properly working paraffin or petrol burning stove.
As already mentioned, the Coleman 424 is a great stove and suitable fuel is available in the form of Aspen 4T, much cleaner and preferable to unleaded.
Don't dismiss the Coleman 424 offhand, you'd be surprised at the performance difference compared with a gas canister stove .. give it a try.

Thanks Paul..  looks interesting.  Have decided though it's best, on this occasion, if I see before I buy after experience with the JML one which looked and worked great for a couple of trips.. then cracked.  The Coleman gives off so much heat I perhaps need to invest in a heavy cast one - even tho hubby does most of breakfasts and is very gentle with the burners.  If I don't find I will certainly come back to this!

Thanks for your help.

If you have EHU then you could use a portable induction hob. This is what I use and it cooks everything really quickly. Before we had EHU we used an old 2 ring gas burner/grill that my mum and dad used when we were young (must have been at least 30 years old!!) It cooked ok but was very slow - if we put the kettle on hubby had time to take a shower before it had boiled

I love the induction hob and cook loads of pasta/rice/casserole meals on it. We also have a judge kettle that we use on it and it boils really quickly. We don't have a grill anymore but do take an electric camping toaster and I am hoping to get a Remoska for next year.

Does the job perfectly :)

Another thing about the 424, Ive never had black soot appear on mine.   And im Definitely going to get the griddle as it looks great for the price.

The topic title is "What is the the most powerful cooker?"

Being on a camping forum I assume the person asking meant camping cookers.

I don't believe there is a more powerful camping cooker than a Coleman 424 Dual Fuel Double Burner.

If there is I'd like to see it.............

We used a JML griddle for a year or so but the non stick came off it quite quickly. I think it was probably a combination of the heat and OH being quite heavy handed!!

We then bought a cast iron griddle pan with a fold up handle in a french supermarket and it works really well.

I've lost the opening posters name but I notice that you're in Bristol. Somewhere in the garage I've got a windshield that folds up. If I find it you'd be welcome to have it as we don't have a need for it....I'll have a dig at the weekend.

On the subject of high power gas stoves has any one tried

one of these ?

I'm sure 7kw would get a pasta pot boiling pretty quickly !!

Hi,

I have a cast iron cooker with 2 burners that are the same size as the cooker at home, but still had to wait an age for the water to boil.  I quickly realised that the problem was my pans and wind (I was cooking outside). I took my pans from home but the base was too thick, i have since got cheapy cheap pans which heat up really quickly.

Hope this helps.

Mandi

I'm after getting one of these Paella cookers......used one in Cornwall this month and catered for 10 adults......Blimey you can get loads of bacon/eggs/sausage etc on the griddle plate and doing scrambled in a pan was a simplicity itself.

Have a look here...they are the dogs.....You need the tripod legs, burner, regulator and choose a griddle.

Graham,

I like the idea of the 21KW one ...
I think that may hold the record re the title of this thread

I can only agree with other posts about the performance of the Coleman stoves. I got mine, (one of the older models with a cast iron burner and a gold coloured round fuel tank) off a mate for a fiver, as he said it didn't work right, the jet was blocked. To stop it sooting let it warm up a bit to vaporise the fuel. Ive had mine since 1992 now, and if and when it does die, I will go out and get another one. They are also cracking for use with the BBQ, for doing things like onions and so on, stops the kitchen getting stinky!

I wouldn't necessarily recommend thin cheap pans for the Coleman, it tends to destroy them if you turn the heat up too much!!
