Been answered a million times already I guess, but im looking for a two burner stove (grill not essential - car camping though so room not really an issue).

Looking for one that will run off a small calor bottle, and wont take hours to boil a kettle if you catch my drift - anyone got any suggestions, there seems to be loads around all similarly priced!

Was considering the campigaz chef (amoungst others) - any good?

We have a Hi-Gear double burner and grill,it is exactly the same stove as  the Gelert one,and one or two others on the market.The rings are quite good,but I have found with nearly all camping stoves the grill is not very efficient.I run ours off a 4.5 KG calour bottle (butane).but it will run quite happily off propane also.

If you look on e-bay,there are loads for sale,also,if you look in some of the discount shops such as B&M Bargains (if you have one close by) they start to sell bits of camping gear at this time of year including stoves on occassion.Last year they had a double burner for about £20.Also the suitcase type for about £8 which are idea lfor boiling a kettle or a one pan meal,but nt much good for a family.

Hmmm...........

Must admit as a little scheptical on the burner rating - 3.2kw now seems a little optamistic to me, especially as the more expensive ones dont seem to be that high

Time will tell, but wont be in any major rush to cook anything too quickly or heat water up superfast - thats what the travel kettle is for!
