Hi.

We tried our new Camping Gaz Party Grill for the first time at the weekend and just could not get it working.

Cylinder went on fine and there was gas coming out as you could hear the hiss as it was removed.

Problem seemed to be with the peizzoelectric ignition (no spark) and the regulator knob would only turn a few millimetres.

Do you think we have a faulty unit?

Have e-mailed customer service at Camping Gaz but have had no reply up to now.

If it's damp or wet the sparker doesn't work. Did you try lighting it with a match? The regulator knob should turn though.

If you think it's faulty then take it back to where you bought it. It's the retailer's responsibility primarily, not the manufacturers.

Hi

They are fab....it's one of these fairly modest pieces of kit that you end up constantly finding new uses for. Third burner when you're catering for the masses on a standard camp cooker; easier than taking the BBQ; emergency cooking facility when your main gas runs out; the only stove you need to take for lightweight weekends when all you're cooking is a cuppa and a bacon roll;  easy to take on picnics and outings for making hot drinks or a few sausages down the beach and finally you can cook a great breakfast fry up on it. I got mine for £19.99 in Asda a few years back and love it. It packs down really small as well and is surprisingly economical on the gas, plus it's a lot more versitile than a suitcase stove. I bought a large lidded paella pan for mine, and you couldn't use a big wide pan like that  on a suitcase stove.
