I saw these, and if you look closely on Amazon there a few identical stoves in different colours. I reckon they all come out of the same chinese factory. One of the brands is Kampa, one yellowstone, one Higlander.. you get my drift. As to them being any good, I couldn't say but the B&M price is the keenest.

We have just bought one of these.  We bought it at £20 from Go outdoors, it is a HIGear one which apparently is the GoOutdoor Gelert range (but the shop assistant wasn't allowed to tell me this).  We wanted something that was compact and a twin burner with a grill.  We have a Coleman 424 but it needs a service before we use it again this year, so we thought for £20 it was worth a go.

So far, so good.  Definitely not as quick boiling the kettle as the Coleman, obviously, but it does what it says on the box!  It is a sturdy lilttle stove with a grill.

I am not disappointed.

 It looks like a pretyy good bit of kit, but I suppose only time will tell.

Not necessarily Gelert, they will buy stock from several suppliers and sell it under the HiGear brand name.

They are all basically the same unit as many outdoor products are (Coleman & Camping Gaz stuff is pretty much identical).  They will all be made by the same folk in China or Vietnam for a few pence a day like Jordan's perfume.  God bless the Communists!
