Osprey, I think you're right to think carefully about tying yourself to EHU. I've just bought a Remoska for home and so far I'm impressed with it BUT I want to retain the flexibility of non EHU sites and pitches so it's not likely to come camping with us. .....

Spooky! I bought a Remoska quite recently and am using it quite a lot. In fact, I don't think I've switched the main oven on since I've had it. So a general thumbs up for use in the home.

But quite apart from the 'tied to ehu' issue there are two other drawbacks to the Remoska for camping or caravanning use I think. One, it is an awkward shape for storage and transport. Two, you need somewhere safe to put the (very hot) lid down out of the way when you've finished cooking, and that might not be easy when you're out and about.

Personaly i cant get my head around wanting to create gourmet-esque meals while camping. Surely, folk  dont 'get away from it all', only to be stuck beind a stove in a tent/van do they?

Erm some people like cooking and don't get time to cook other than when they are on holiday?

I love cooking, especially outside when on holiday,gives me a variation on a theme from cooking in my kitchen.

 

Not brilliant  Between you, me and the yellow background, I think I'd already made my mind up!  Not cheap at all though but gives me loads of options which is what I'd set out to achieve.

Its on the gadget show next week, Monday I think, channel 5?

I went for the whole kit and kaboodle (?) which included all the different plates, lighter, thermometer, firelighters, cobblestones, woodchip, recipe book and carry case.  Forked out £170, gulp  The tight bloke on the stand wouldn't throw in the little metal pot for the chips and his best offer was to reduce it from £12 to £10.  I walked away and left him to it.

It does look like a proper piece of kit though.  It appears very well made and simple to use, especially with the Cobblestone briquette thingies, making it ready to use in 5 minutes flat, apparently.

All my camping mates know this as "The Yellow Site" so I shan't add to any confusion by making it the purple site!

So Surfspud, if you want a spud by the surf let me know.

How about using a halogen oven, we often use ours at home, but we will certainly be taking ours away in the caravan. Baked potato's are the best you have ever tested.we do have a cobb but the halogen is very tempting  do you find them easy cobb leaves a lovely smeal while its cookin
