I found an old calor bottle and just swapped it over, so now all I need is a stove to go with it.

I've seen these being sold by quite a few sellers on ebay for around £27 posted, so seem good value. Has anyone used them and can give me any feed back?

Doesn't have a grill, though, but if you only need the grill for toast, you could use a folding toaster like this.

If you especially want the type of stove in your first link you may find a similar one in B&M (can't find it on their website).

I'm not that fussed about a grill, it was just about it being cheap! All I'm after is two decent burners as a step up from my little stove.

If you're after one with a built in windshield either look alright. I've got one very similar to the Gelert one but it's just the 2 burner bit, without the shield and legs, it's very basic but does the job, won mine with a letter in camping magazine a few years ago.

Fantastic...guess it's pretty simple tech really, so a cheap one should do fine.

Looks like the Kampa Alfresco which is about the same price. It doesn't have great reviews. My own experience is that not all gas camping stoves are the same. Think you can get better, for not a lot more.

Hi

These stoves of any brand are ok and thats it, ok...They are cheaply made and are not going to last that long. Saying all that most campers only go for a few weekends now and then so whats it matter if the thing breaks after a few years of weekend camping. Im not saying they are unsafe but its things like the hinges etc, they are just cheap. If you really want a good quality stove that will last and last then there is nothing better than the CampinGaz stoves but they are £45 plus.

So just dont expect to much from this style of stove but yes they are superb value. We have sold this style from 3 brands in the past, the returns rate was not good so we have decided as a real retailer (actual shop) to knock them on the head.

Gary Cross

Just a quick edit...The kind of problems we had were hinges, the front closing clips poping off due to poor fitting, sparkers failing, plastic flame adjusters cracking, sliding system when closing twisting.

Again I have to say they are cheap and close to through away money so dont be to put off.
