Having sold my folding camper with intergrated kitched i now have a brand new ground tent and i am looking for a stove, i like to use big pans and found that with the previous kitchen in FC i couldnt fit two pans on so i am looking at single gas rings, prices seem to vary quite a bit and not sure what i should be looking for to get a good heat, should i be looking at higher kw rings ?, i have bought a good solid kitchen unit with windshields and i have gas bottles i wish to use as well. Any recommendations

we use these for our scout group

Foker Single Burner Europa Gas Boiling Ring

available from hamilton gas products. Same reason as you we use BIG pans as we are catering for over 100 people on camp. These are 4.4KW, watch most as they are only 2.5KW and not good enough on a cold day to heat a large pan of liquid.

Are you staying in the UK or planning on touring Europe ?
If staying in the UK go for Calor Gas propane in red bottles then search for +4 KW single burners.

If touring Europe use Campingaz 904 or 907 butane cylinders (blue) and screw 3 KW P.A.C. burners direct into the cylinders.
These burners are made in Italy and available on Ebay, with or without auto ignition. Other stoves hiss, these roar.

Get a Campingaz lamp to screw into your 904 or 907 gas cylinder at night.
Buy Campingaz 904 or 907 cylinders second hand and refill for a new one.


-------------
Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.

I have just bought this one
http://www.gasequipmentdirect.co.uk/store/product/BRDOUBLE.aspx
and all the hoses and quick release connectors to go with it, so I can run this and my Nexgrill off the same bottle. The burner is made by Continental (alot of the heavy duty ones are) and each burner is 2.5Kw which should be enough as alot of Campingaz double stoves are only 1.5Kw/2Kw.
I haven't used the doubl burner yet but the Grill is perfect.

2.5kw isn't enough if you are using large pans as the op indicates and double burners a rendered useless as you can't fit two large pans on them.

Thanks for the input.

I quite fancy these, http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=272573531242&varId=571685446888

I'm a bit concerned they might be cheap Chinese tat and that they may not be rated to what they say they are. They say they can use butane or propane but says they only have LPG connectors, does this mean I will need a special bottle or some sort of connector.

From the description and pictures it looks as if the burners are cast and the frame "sheet steel", certainly the single picture of the single burner (which is slightly different to the one in the composite picture) suggests a (riveted?) steel frame and a cast burner.

The ones in the main picture appear to take the rubber hose (secured with a Jubilee clip) as used for most cylinder-fed camping equipment, so should be OK to use with your existing butane or propane cylinders, with their dedicated regulators of course (both are LPG).

How versatile are these? Can they be turned down really low, or do you realistically need a stove with smaller burners for slow cooking in addition to this 4kW burner?

As a beginner, I was wondering how you would get more than one stove used together - some kind of regulator that device the gas pipe into two?
