Hi.

We've just brought our first tent - a second hand Outwell Bear Lake 4, and now we're busy buying camping gear.

We found a cheap gas cooker in B and M, but i've got no idea which gas i've got to use, or what I need to pipe it up.

The cooker has the nozzle on it, for a flexible hose, but do we need a regulator too ?

Do we need to buy one of the big gas bottles that you have to re fill - like this

 or will the small ones do - like this

And how long can we expect the gas to last ?

I'd say you'd need the 907 as the smaller bottle is a screw on one that we use for our gas light.  As you say the cooker has a nozzle on it for a flexible hose.  You can get the hose from any camping shop, as well as the regulator for the gas bottle.  You'll also need a jubilee clip to attach the tube to the nozzle.  It's better to have the bigger bottle as it'll last longer. Hope that helps
