Hello,

I am trying to cut down the amount of stuff we take camping this year, futile though this may be. One option I was considering was to get rid of the big dual burner stove that we have, it's a campingaz one with storage underneath. As we have the big calor bottle with loads left, I wondered whether it would be possible to get a splitter for the hose and run two small stoves from the bottle instead. However, when I've looked, the small stoves all appear to be the sort that screw on to a bottle. Is this possible / recommended, or am I doing the proverbial in to the wind?

Would you be better off with something link this:

Outwell Appetizer Camping Stove

if folds quite flat and you still get 2 burners and a grill.

Look on Hamilton gas products website. Single burner rings that connect to gas bottle via pipe/regulator there.

Good for you for trying to save space. But you may end up spending lots more money (don't we all....).

So buying splitter and new stove is spending more money.

However as you are already spending what about a roof box or tow bar and trailer. It will give you space to take more kit. Then you will need more things to use your gas bottle for such as,
fridge
oven!

Haha Frazzle, loving your plan. However, we already have a trailer and roof box!!! That's one reason why trying to save space, last year we were quite squashed in.

Alternatively, maybe a new trailer / car......?

Hey sleepyol, you must have been speaking to Mr F about trailers!

We now have a Brenderup 1150 with abs. Started with a 102 and a flat cover - well actually started with a roof box but that is another story.....

So another suggestion some have roof boxes on their trailers and on their cars. Seems a bit much, but who knows when ours grow up and we have 3 teenagers we may have to do just that.
