A camping stove on a table is instantly at the height of the table, it doesn't need special legs.

A camping stove with a lid when you open the box is a camping stove with a windbreak when you open the lid, turn the stove so the lid blocks out the wind rather than expecting the wind to change according to how you position your stove.

I bought an aluminium skillet this spring, I liked it so much that I bought a caste iron one when I got back from France. It covers both burners. Think gas bbq.

Butane gas is great when the weather is mild or hot but propane gas is better when it gets cold. Campingaz (butane) bottles can be refilled in France, Calor Gas (butane or propane) can only be refilled in UK. Choose your gas then ask for the appropriate regulator.

A Campingaz bottle can power a gas lamp once you have finished cooking and it's getting dark, but save enough gas to cook your last meal.

If you like lots of hot drinks get a big kettle.

Billy cans (saucepans without fixed handles) nest together and save a lot of space.

Even if your stove has push button ignition have a gas lighter/matches around somewhere in case it won't work on the day.

Should your local shop sell all it's tinned food with pull ring tops it's still best to take a tin opener with you just in case. I've cooked meals based on what tins in the Co Op in Swannage have pull ring tops. A bottle opener and cork screw help too.

A small sharp knife and a small chopping board open up so many culinary possibilities.

Brampston, You have obviously put some thought into camp cooking. I hadnt thought about only buying cans with ring pulls, its a good suggestion.

Sounds like some good reasons for not using gas?

I use gas, bio ethanol and petrol stoves according to my needs. The two burners are a gas one and an alcohol one. The single burners I use most are either bio ethanol or petrol. I would like a twin burner petrol stove but the ferries don't like them and neither does the wife.
For ignition, I use a brass sparker using a Flint like a sawn off lighter. Next most useful thing is a Swiss army knife. I have a cast iron griddle but don't use it and cooksets are different for each stove. Car camping has the full bamboo set of plates etc. Backpacking is just a wildo box.
We are trying to downsize by looking at how compact stuff is for car camping. Three tables for the kitchen have been replaced by one that does food prep and stove stand We will also be reducing the contents of the kitchen bag.

Months ago I posted a research survey for a design project about camp cooking. I've now completed the design project and would be really interested to know your thoughts on my new concept suitable for cooking inside a tent.

If you could spare 5 minutes it would be greatly appreciated.

Would have done so, but some questions could not be accurately answered, but specified answers. so would not allow completion
