The Camping Gaz Chef (for example) is quoted as using 170g/hr for each burner plus 80g/hr for the grill so  4.5kg cylinder will last for around 26 hours of cooking with one burner full on all the time...

Last time I did the sums Calor Gas butane worked out significantly cheaper than Camping Gaz but you'll need the latter if you travel to the continent as Calor is only available in the UK.  Make sure you get the correct regulator for the cylinder of your choice.

If you haven't got a cylinder already, look around your local tip, freecycle or ebay to get one without paying the £30 initial charge for your first bottle - I got two 4.5kg Calor bottles last year for about £6 each from ebay...

Hope this helps?

Im so glad someone else has asked this.

We are off to France in June and have a Calor 7kg - we've been on 4 camping trips with it and i esitmate about 12 days of use for evening meals (abt an hour each time).  Should we have plently left for a weeks holiday?

Also another question which i hope people can help me with - Can you take Calor Gas on Ferries?

Thanks!
