I currently have a Campingaz Lagon (the same as a Campingaz Basecamp but without a lid, about 10 years old but used very little) and I would like to get a stove that has a grill. Which brand/model is a good one to get? I like the look of the Campingaz Chef and the Royal one which folds up into a case.
You cant go far wrong with the Campingaz ones I personally think they are about the best and the grill actually grills,may be a bit more expensive but they normally last very well ours is over 25 years old now and still works just as well as when it was new

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
I have to say Arsenaldes is right, I have sold many brands of two burner and grill and the campingaz have always been the best quality, some of the cheaper ones have been ok but they are defo not the quality. The only other ones I like are the Outwell triple burner, not got a grill but they do have a griddle plate.
We have a sungas 3 burner and love it although only has a folding grill which is a mesh thingy which comes down over one of the burners - I love it. The first one we bought was a gelert with lid & grill but never really got on with it - now up for sale.
If you don't currently have a kitchen unit or need to save space - the Campingaz stoves with attachable legs are a good buy (shop around as you can get good deals). With the windshields making side shelves, adjustable legs and shelf underneath they make an incredibly useful, stable and compact kitchen set-up, that only takes up the same space as the stove itself when packed. We don't have a grill, we use a folding single slice toaster over a burner which is so fast we've used it as a party trick before now. We have a full griddle and water tray that interchanges with the burners on our Campingaz stove - makes a fab cooked breakfast and is easy to clean because of the water tray.
------------- Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

I used to have the SunGas one . Loved it to bits ; got it because of the toaster really .
Have since downsized and sold it to a friend . Would have still had it had I had the room in the car
iv got the campinggaz model with twin burner & grill ... its a nice cooker BUT i find the lowest setting on the 2 hobs cud do with being a bit / lot lower heat. its difficult to simmer / keep warm like i can do on the cooker at home without things contnuing to cook an get hotter / burnt! - thinking of buying an electric hotplate for warming!
otherwise im very happy with it.

Thank you all for replying I might just keep my two burner basic Lagon and get one of those grill tray things. I already have the folding toaster, they work well...I was thinking more for grilling sausages etc but if I can use the grill tray on one of the burners, that solves that problem. Only thing with my Lagon is that is doesn't have a lid so I have to transport it in it's bulky box.

Have you got a link that shows what this is please. Sounds ideal.
