Problem is the "CampinGaz Chef" with it's twin burners and grill was never intended to be run of a 901 cylinder even though it will, the 901 is best used for lanterns and small single burners so that you can get a decent burn time.
I would advise go for a 904 cylinder, which is still fairly small compared to other options.
But look at the cost of Gas per kg for the CampinGaz cylinders, the 901 is a real eye opener, although in fairness the prices are from GoOutdoors, my local camping shop exchanged my two 901's for £7 each which worked out at £17.50 per kg still more expensive than using disposable cylinders, but I have a CampinGaz LumoGaz 907 lantern which is perfect for the 901 and runs for almost ever on one cylinder.
As for 901 cylinders I picked my two up from the local tip, you will usualy find them in a locked steel cage outdoors, then find a friendly operative, don't ask for Gas cylinders before locating them first, both 901's I got were quite full of Gas, of course I made donation to the tip operatives favourite charity, and he discretly stuck the crisp £5 note into his sky rocket!.
Anyway GoOutdoors current prices for CampinGaz refills.
901 = £13.50 (£33.75 per Kg!) cylinder holds 400gms
904 = £19.99 (£11.11 per Kg) cylinder holds 1.8Kg
907 = £19.99 (£7.27 per Kg) cylinder holds 2.75kg
Hope that helps.
