Reccomend me a camping stove.

[garth]

Hi.

Don't have a clue what I'm looking for, but would prefer petrol, I think, although all the petrol stoves I've found seem to be bloody expensive.

It's got to be fairly small and light, and not cost the earth.

Thanks

The quality ones like Primus and Dragonfly are hideously expensive but Coleman do a dual fuel for about £70

Any reason you want petrol? If you want lightweight then I used a Pocket Rocket stove on a small 100g cartridge for years in the Military.

I have the MSR "pocket rocket" Costs about £20, and is great. It uses the small gas canisters though, not petrol, which are a little cumbersome, but last me for ages.

For a REALLY cheap, easy stove, Google 'Pepsi can stove' Its basically the bottoms of 2 drinks cans slid on top of one another, with some holes punched in it. I made one - runs on methylated spirit (Possibly petrol too?) and works surprisingly well for something home made. Pretty efficient and certainly enough to boil water etc with.

Based on what I use the old fashioned Trangia does the job.
Can be argued a little bulky but you have all your pans in that bundle.
Uses meths although you can get gas kits for some.
They also do multi-fuel (inc. petrol) but I think that's for extreme (sub-zero, high altitude, etc.). Plus it's expensive.

The coleman dual fuel ones are good and run on petrol but they are a bit bulky.

I have a Borde Bomb petrol stove which is very efficient and compact BUT it's a bit of a specialist piece of kit and they are VERY difficult to come by. I eventually got mine from a specialist walking shop in Germany after having wanted one for a few years. They are over £100 and there's a bit of a knack to using them but I successfully cooked on one for my whole 3 month tour of Britain a few years back.

If you're camping in the kitchen, you may as well just use the cooker in the background.

It should do, I just didn't have any cans of ginger beer available

What fuel is used for the tin can?

I have the old Tranger, used meths as fuel and have had it for about 30 years now.

Meths, filled up to just below the first set of holes.


Actually, that was a bit stupid of me to say that, as I couldn't really fill it to above the holes

How safe are these petrol stoves?

I've got a coleman dual fuel but have used it very little as can see me and the stove ending up in a fiery inferno and it scares the crap out of me.

I have a Sunngas Alpine Stove. Its brilliant, it folds up small...and has a pipe extending from the gas cannister, so it's more sturdy for cooking, no danger of the pan tipping over. I spent a while researching stoves before I decided I wanted this one.

It has a good gas control, so basically you can heat up water for a cuppa tea in no time flat or nice and slowly. Also has a self-igniting button.

ooo i like that. Very un-wobbly looking. It's a necessity now to be able to walk off and leave the pan unattended while i am in goal/rescuing Action Man from the nettles/combing the grass for lost lego. That one looks good. Nice and little to keep in the car for lunch on the beach in the winter too

Haha! I'm attempting (but failing) to phase it out of my vocabulary as our 'colourful' neighbour is known as Bloody Minge Arse Upstairs and i was caught out when Tiny Cornish used the phrase at school. ooopsie

I think the tent pegs is a testosterone thing. Men who spend all year in an office get outside on their holiday and feel the need to clump the crap out of things and burn stuff in order to assert themselves in front of nature
