Topic: Shed camping stove recommendations

[pigeonseed]

Thinking of getting a camping stove for the shed - does anyone have recommended type?

Could just go for those basic ones which sit on top of the gas canister, though they seem a bit wobbly with a kettle on top!

I just use one that was out of a caravan,very sturdy with the kettle on.ive even done roast spuds in it whilst on the lotty all day.

What sort is it?

I'm wondering about this kind, as it's the same price as the wobby campingaz sort, but looks more stable

But wondering, are all those small gas canisters worse for the landfill than the big blue ones...?  :-\

Mine go in the recycle bin.

I have three of those Bistro things, they are absolutely brilliant. Have cooked across Europe for family of 5 with them, also at allotment BBQs for unlimited numbers.

Sorry, I don't know about landfill problems.....

We have one very similar to the Bistro type and are very pleased with it.  It is far more secure than the ones that sit on top of the gas cannisters.

I bought a similar one from flea-bay....... perhaps not the best idea? It lasted one season - the heat in the shed caused one of the rubber componets (valve I think it was) to deteriorate very rapidly so I've reverted to a standard single upright gas burner...campingaz style.... very long lived!  ;)

For a cuppa I use a Kelly kettle - no gas - just a few twigs and your away

Hello,

Coleman petrol stoves are very good, will last years and boils a kettle in a few minutes even when its below freezing outside.

Ive used a bistro type in the shed since we had the plot,its ideal as it is stable on the work bench we have in there and is a simple click to light (no need of matches),great for a quick cuppa and even greater when the hurd arrive from around the plot for one o Gazzers egg butties,the nice thing is they all have chickens so all I do is cook the eggs ..... :D.

Nick, thanks for that link, they look fantastic! As an allotment and fishing fanatic that is going top of my wish list!!

I also got a double ring +grill +sink out of a caravan screwed to an old unit. Attached a gas pipe with a low pressure regulator and attached to a 19kg red gas. It's lasted four years up to now.

I think these are brilliant - have always liked them but initial cost is dear...... once bought no gas needed though  ;)
