Camping Stoves

[tufftie]

Can anyone recommend one that last for more than a few days? The last one just about managed to boil 5 kettles with enough water for about two mugs in each time and it said 5 to 15 hours on the side of the canister

best i can recommend is Colmans all fuel stove ,had one for years. it will run a long time on unleaded petrol . once i had to put two stroke mix in it ...went well . or maybe invest in a small double burner . these can be fueled by a 15 kgs butane canister .hope thats helped

We have one of these..They are really good. We have the second one down on the list.

Neil said they may have them in Millets in Penzance.

I used a trangia system for years, excellent piece of kit, light, very portable and great if there's just the two of you. Fueled with meth spirits.

Thanks for that information - think there's a Millets near where i'm going to be..or a blacks anyway??? and filling up with petrol will be better than lots of gas tubs. Can you use methane in them? - I've a couple of friends up there that might be able to provide me with quite a bit

Diane - what is a trangia system???

Hi Tufftie, I hope the above link works but a general search for Trangia stoves on google would get you some more info. The trangia is a set of different sized cooking tins that all fit together in a nice compact pot. Its an extremely light and compact system. Blacks should stock them at a reasonable price. I cant sing the praise of this piece of kit loud enough, when cooking the pots can be stacked in order to boil water and heat up food. Metholated spirits is a cheaper option than gas and probably lasts longer.
