Heres one that hasn't been mentioned and uses the same canistor as your stove and compact.
Compact grill
If you go to EHU get a dedicated camping EHU made by a reputable brand at the very least, we use the below and is very versatile.
Andrew James Grill

Excellent. Go with the non-stick for frying with suitable utensils. I don't use one for backpacking any more but use one nearly monthly for camping with the lad. We like our sausage butties in the morning! I usually have to put the simmer ring on for frying. You will get some sooting due to the gap between burner & frypan

If you want to keep things simple and already have a decent gas stove that you're happy with, why not pick up a square non-stick griddle pan from your local supermarket such as Sainsbury or Morrison or Asda. There's absolutely no need to buy and carry a new cooking appliance, since these give you the stripes on burgers and sausages as they're held above the cooking fat. An added bonus is they're easy to wash.

The standard camping gas one burner are fine and we used one for years for years with no problem. It's the suitcase style single burner ones that have the problems as oversize pans cause the cartridge to overheat.
We use a camping gas party grill which is similar to a cadaver safari chef. It takes the normal small camping gas cartridges and packs down into it's own bag.
Many people have used the suitcas stoves, including myself for many a year. Just common sense, like for any equipment, just need to make sure that you know how to use any of your kit.
I also have used the camping party grill. You can use it as both grill and for pan cooking or just yo boil the kettle.

I agree entirely. We've used Camping Gaz suitcase stoves for years and think they're efficient and easy to use. You just have to apply a bit of common sense and not use huge pans which cover the cylinder housing. The square griddle pans work a treat on them.

I just want to be able to cook something simple such as burgers or hotdogs when I go camping with my son for a couple of nights each trip.
We have got a single ring campingaz already too warm up water and milk but I don't think burgers will come out well on this.
I think all you really need is a windshield (if it's a "suitcase" type stove you can use its carrying case opened out and secured by bodging a couple of tent pegs through it if need be, or if it's an upright "bleuet" type, these used to be available in a 'biscuit-tin' case which opened out to use as a windshield, or see Opensauce's suggestions on previous page) and a glass-lidded non-stick frying pan and non-metal spatula.

Shaun If your using a EHU site buy your self a Phillips hot air fryer in the sales, You can even cook cakes in one. I have one in my van I can rustle up sausage/ chips and onion rings in 12 mins all done at same time. you can also cook chicken, fish in bread crumbs, roast spuds, carrots, swede, hamburgers, gammon steaks.
No moving parts just hot circulating air no oil needed.
After cooking sausage/ burgers you will need something to tip oil/fat into when finished cooking and cooled IE jam jar with screw lid.

One of the most useful pieces of cooking equipment is the Remoska
I use one both in the caravan and at home. A slow cooker is also ideal for camping/caravan, load it up in the morning and tea is ready when you return from a day out
