After my very first successful year camping last year and albeit I know I survived quite happily with a bbq and small George Foreman I have decided "I need" a camping stove to assist my new passion and to feed my family (of 3) on the 5 trips I already have booked in the new tent!

My OH assures me we have everything we (and half of the south coast) require, but as it is a genuine need  I would love some advice/feedback on what I should buy.

The campingaz 3 in 1 grill has caught my eye due to design and compactness and the around £50 price tag.  I am also a little wary about using gas bottle designs (only as its something i've never done and am sure I could get over it) so the butane/propane cannister systems are my preference.

Thnak you in advance.

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.

Hiya
CampingGaz grill looks nice, and agree with above i would use bottle gas normally works out cheaper in the long run.
Also have you looked at the Cadac 2 cook deluxe grill they look good too and from personal experience i dont think you can go wrong with Cadac grills/bbqs, well built units that have always cooked well for us.

Just my opinion
either way sure you will enjoy

I have got the older style Camping Gaz 3 in 1 and it has served us very well.  Also use a refillable cylinder.
