Hello all,

I would be interested to hear your recommendations on the following

1. Which cooking stove  - 2 burners

2. Tent heater - not for me the wife

cheers

Mark

As above for a real HOT burner, if you prefer a gas stove, then I have used both a Sunngas (my current stove) and a Camping Gaz one, both are fine and well up to the job. Some models come with stand to make them the height of a camp kitchen, also if you are looking to use outside, make sure it has an in built windshield.

For the heater Coleman Black Cat heater, about £45 from camping shops, maybe less on the web. Excellent catalytic, NO visible flame heater. Had mine over 12 months and very impressed, easy to light, takes screw on gas cannisters and warms the TT in 15 mins.

we use the camping gaz double burner with a grill as our stove

and the sunngaz parabolic heater 2kw one as we have 2 gaz bottles

We use a Tilley foldaway (top left on picture).  It has two rings and a grill (with pan) which cooks toast really quick.  Good strong burners plus the heat from grill rises up and keeps your kettle on the boil.

We use the coleman double burner, it works on petrol a stove thats hard to beat...

We have a Camping Caz Camping Chef £40 from wildday.

5800W of cooking power, certainly done our bacon and sausage easily at the weekend

I quite fancy one of those Mary ,mind if I pick ya brains please? the only things that stopped me getting one was -the grill didnt seem very large ? how much can you actually fit under it ? and how much does the power of the burners suffer when your using the grill at the same time?

Cheers

Instead of a 2-burner stove, I use a sunngas single burner, you know the flat square ones that come in a little suitcase, along with a campingaz party grill, which can be used as a regular stove or as a griddle.

For heating, the Coleman Black Cat.

Trouble is, I need to carry 3 different types of gas cartridges for these, so thats something worth considering when choosing.  I will keep the BlackCat, but when the other stuff needs replacing I will be looking for a stove and/or BBQ type grill that runs on the Coleman type cartridge.

missElaineous, you may be 'stuck' with the Party Grill for some time, we've had ours for 6 years and it's still going strong....I wouldn't be without it...!
