[Closed] Single Burner camping stoves

Could you maybe link one? Or post a picture?

This sort of thing

I've seen them catch on fire...

Not a great selling point

The wife and I have used those for years.
We use two when in the bigger tent we use for car holidays.
Find them easy to pack and use. The gas lasts most of a week given the use of toast and tea for two in the morning and cooking pasta and sauce etc. for tea, plus numerous brew ups.
We have looked at multi ring burners with hose gas cans but we thought too big to pack.
The thing you don't get is a grill. We toast using a metal pyramid thing.

Completely and utterly useless compared to even the most basic proper gas camping stove IMO.

I've got one I picked up ages ago and about half a dozen cartridges. If you're anywhere near Glasgow you're welcome to it 🙂

You can get a lightweight, proper gas one with a pre heat tube etc for about £15 on ebay. Otherwise you're just carrying about loads poorly and overly engineered metal for no good reason and it's harder to get level than a spider

I've got one of these ([url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/trackr-outdoor-Camping-portable-stove-TK600-TK1000-TK1100-TK2000-/120984408629?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item1c2b3b9235 ]TK1100)[/url] which has done me well for 2 years of summer/winter use.

We've got a couple, along with a normal twin burner remote cylinder camping stove type thing. They get used for 24s. The [s]caterer[/s] wife prefers the single ring ones.

I guess we go through 4 cannisters in a long weekend. That's endless coffee and bacon for two teams and assorted extras.

After 10? years of use we've yet to blow one up.

P.S.
We look for an occasional offer on the gas. Usually get four for £5

I noticed these on sale today [url= ]Coleman stove[/url] Reduced from £35 to £8 from Go Outdoors

where are they on sale?

We had one in our NZ camper van.
They go through the gas a little quickly but otherwise are quick, easy and stable.
The only thing really to offer much advantage (if size isn't an issue) is a proper gas bottle stove.

So far at least.

Reckon i've something that'll make a perfect housing for them to sit in too.

Thanks

(if size isn't an issue)

Size is definately the issue. Needs to be very compact.

Are you going to use it in a vehicle? If not, dirt is best, let's you dig the arms in a wee bit and makes it more stable. If it is for a vehicle (e.g. van) have a google for van conversion forums and you'll see a whole host of options 🙂

One of those sentences you can only type, rather than say out loud.

Closer to a pop up kicthen.

Ive not really thought this through to be honest. ummmm.

I'll bodge something together, and if it's rubbish. Guzzle a load of Vodka and smash it to pieces with a big hammer.

One of those twin stove things would work perfectly but with the cylinders their just a bit too big.

hmmm, shall I think this through or commence bodgery

Get two spiders and two gas canisters. Job done.

£30 plus a few quid for gas.

Pretty sure mine has holes in the feet you could stick a screw in to fix to a board.

EDIT: In fact, I wouldn't fix them, they're pretty stable and one of the key benefits is being able to shift around as necessary. Unless you're going to be using a wok or similar and you might be bashing the stove and need it kept still.

What about one of [url= http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/coleman-dual-fuel-2-burner-camping-stove-p118552?gclid=CIqTq76t5bsCFQMIwwodk1MARg ]these?[/url] granted not the cheapest option but you get a twin burner stove with no gas canister. The fuel tank flips inside when packed up, bit of a pig to get started when really cold though.

I've used the ones you mention but really they are only good for simple tasks such as boiling the kettle or frying bacon. The one I have seems to have no modulation, it's either on full blast or off.

Northernmatt was going to post the same. Love the twin burner great heat off it and it packs up neatly. Very stable compared to some of the single burner jobs

Trangia? Not sure if it's what you're after, but mine has lasted years and the fuel is readily available.

I keep one like that in the van for the occasional cuppa.

Be aware that you can only get butane gas for them and that's pretty useless at low temperatures.

I've been using one of these for a couple of years.
I got mine from local scout shop
