I have had one for a year or so and have used it for probably what equates to 8 weeks or more of camping, thought it was ok at first but we seem to get through some gas and it takes an age to boil a kettle, much longer than it ever took on a suitcase stove. The grill is purely for decoration as it is absolutely useless. We are now looking to replace it next year.

On the up side though it is very robust and compact for transport and storage and it is very easy to set up. We may just have a duff one as others seem to get along fine with it.

I would agree with paperclip, the grill doesn't even do toast, the bread just goes hard and doesn't go brown. I did buy it so I could use the grill, so was dissapointed although the gas rings are fine. I now use an electric hob it is so much better.

We've got one and the problems to go with it!! the gas valve on the side leaked gas and ignited. If you've got one that's using alot of gas put some neat washing up liquid over the joint and see if it bubbles :)

After several emails to Kampa I eventually got the correct size replacement valve - however, when fitting it the gas pipe is not fixed and during the tightening of the valve the gas pipe spun and sheared off - now waiting to hear from Kampa :(

Thanks for the info BERTIE, I do the washing up liquid thing every time I hook it up with no bubbles so no leaks, I hope your stove is working eventually.
