I got one of these last year and think its great.  Used it for home made kebabs, gammon steaks and other chicken grilling recipes. Superb.

You can use in the kitchen too I sat mine on the stove with the cooker hood on and it worked great.  It doesnt get hot underneath so you you could use it on a worksurface near your extractor.

I hate being a killjoy but I posted awarning about one of these blowing up a few weeks ago.  It would seem thet the user switched it off and then disconnected the cannister, as per the instructions, the canister leaked and kerboom, seven  people hospitalised.  Whilst their have been accidents with camjping gas type stoves it is usually because a numpty disconnects a puncture type cylinder before it is empty!  The reliability of cartridge stoves is uncertain.  Please see following links and draw your own conclusions.
