Hi guys,

Anyone used the Campingaz Duo stove that comes with a grill? Is it worth the extra money over the plain 2-ring one?

(this one)

I suppose the advantage of such a stove is the small pack size, and easy storage of Gas canistors.

Personaly though, I prefer to use the "Camping Chef" often available for under £30 in fact a few months back I picked up a "Camping Kitchen" (twin burner only) from Tesco for £6.50!, got that unit for when folk ask to borrow my camping stove.

Both the models I mention use refillable gas cylinders, so far 1 CampinGaz 907 has done for 4 weeks of camping, and still has plenty left in it, although we do max the EHU by using elec kettle, Induction hob and now a mini-oven.

Yes, it's the pack size I'm after - I have a small flat to start with, a small car to carry on with, and if I can I like to pack my gear into a roller holdall and camp by train. Suitcase stoves are really not good for that, especially not two of them, but I want a bit of luxury in my cooking :)

Hi, I bought the duo with grills last season.  Fantastic small pack size, and on the whole I am very pleased with it.  The only disadvantage is that the gas canisters, if removed and replaced several times do not click on to the stove very securely, and we end up putting something underneath them to support their weight.  The upside of the grills is that they pack down smaller than a frying pan, the only downside we have found is that they are not easy to clean.  Hope this helps.
