Last year I bought a cheapo gas cartridge heater and stove off eBay. Both worked great on our summer holiday, although in fairness we didn't need the heater as it was boiling anyway :-)
The stove worked fine, and we often cooked out of the back of the car. We've been getting all the "gear" out of the garage for our upcoming Easter holiday, and I stuck in a new cartridge with it sat on our kitchen worktop. I could hear a hissing sound, and there was a smell of gas. With a bit of investigation, it was soon evident the gas was leaking where the can seals (or doesn't) against the rubber ring. Who knows, it could well have leaked last year, but been outside, I didn't smell anything.
So I'm looking for a replacement, and I've seen the Campingaz Camp Bistro. It looks identical, but three times the price. The carry case looks identical, so wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that these come out of the same factory.
Any use one of these, and would you recommend one? I don't want to spend a lot more than a unbranded one, and find it turns out to be the same load of rubbish.
Thanks
