Which stove will I buy?? Suggestions appreciated
« on: January 09, 2013 »
Looking to buy a light gas stove.....don't really know if the more expensive ones will be worth it.  Planning a bit of wild camping and don't want anything too clumpy either. 
What price and any make better??

Vango compact stove for £15, less than a tenner if you shop around. Job done ;)

Yeah Jonnos pointed you in the right direction there, I have the pocket rocket that £30 but they both do the same job really. Good for booing water etc but I'm not sure if they can cope with a steak or casserole, a trangia would be the better job for that.

For a tip top stove the Primus Express Spider is the business.

I have one of those wee vango mini beasties. It's great but do get a windshield for it, Mourneman and I once used the vango mini on binnian to heat a curry in the wind. 45 mins later he, LandyLiam and I were finally able to eat.

I now use a primus omnifuel. It's a sturdy beast, itll take knocks, itll sit out in the rain, itll run off unleaded petrol at 45p for a full fuel bottle - and it won't complain. It also fries up a mean steak in record time.

The biggest benefit of the mini though is weight - it is so light! also at almost every camp, someone has a can of gas.
