Hi Terasa.
That 3 in 1 Grill does look the business, just had a look at it on the Argos website £70, so the one you have seen at £50 is a good deal.
Personaly I would not go for the dispossible canistors, apart from the MSR Pocket Rocket single burner that I use for backpacking, I did the math once and those canistors work out a lot more expensive per Kg of gas compared to using a refillable cylinders, and that's comparing them against CampinGaz refills which are about 3 times the price to refill compared to Calor and BP etc.
We use a CampingGaz Chef 2 burners and Grill, got the cooker of the carboot brand new still sealed in the box c/w regulator for £20 then I got the specific CampinGaxz carry bag for it from Blacks for £10.
We used to carry 2 CampinGaz 904 cylinders for it, that way we never run out of gas, but since getting the trailer, we now carry 2 CampinGaz 907 cylinders which are a little bigger, but cost about the same as a 904 to refill.
Having said that, a single 907 cylinder will keep us going for over a month of camping!.
The refilable cylinders cost me next to nowt, as folk had either given them to me, or I had found them at the tip, following a small donation to the operatives social fund.
I now have a collection of 2 of each 901, 904 and 907 CampinGaz cylinders.
Using the refillable cylinders is a doddle, and for UK camping I would advise folk to go for Calor or BP, not only is the gas about a third cheaper, the regulators are of the simple clip on type, instead of threaded connection like the CampinGaz.
Andy.
