if it was square instead of round i think it would be better but personally its too big and bulky for me

Yep, I'd noticed they'd gone up a bit - £70 or so in one go

Ordinarilly I'd have made something similar myself but I looked at it and how much fiddly work as well as bits that woudl need buying in and thought that the £180 we paid wasn't bad, especially as it would get used a lot at home as well.

We do take it away with us a bit and it's not as cumbersome as you would have expected, though I have made a plywood box for it so it stores better and you can fit other stuff in with it and also, if it comes to it, you can pack it up before it's fully cold (but obviously with a bit of common sense).

But, if I were only lookign at somethign to take away with me then I wouldn't have bought it as there's other solutions which would have suited me better.

The havign a fire on a site where fires aren't allowed isn't quite as simple - a lot can't have wood fires because of insurance reasons as much as the mess - sometimes you can talk people round but sometimes it's just as easy to bung charcoal in it.

FWIW, I am going to make something similar (for my own use) but probably a bit longer, less wide and it will be square sided with a larger top, but also have a proper seal and a vent rather than just having to leave the door open.

best thing we ever found with ours was to junk the spark arrestor too - draws much better now.

Other thing similar to have a look at is the Fronteir stoves - google it and you should find them - if I'd have seen them befor ethe ozpig I'd have bought one.

That looks like a better price.
Is it as versatile as the oz pig.

I use alot at home my BBQ, Revolution Master3000: Works well, i recently re stained the sapele hardwood. I have taken it camping, i can detatch the BBQ from the wooden frame and i have made a similar sapele wooden frame that is lighter and low level.





Abit bigger than some but its got a great full width even burner, i have cooked many sausages, burgers, steaks & ribs at the same time. I love it.

It all depends where we are camping and can range from a 2 plate electric hob, to a gas/meths fired Trangia to a wood fire cooking something in the Potjie.

I forgot to add the Kelly Kettle - we wouldn't be without it.

Ive mostly been using a portable cartrige stove over the last 6 months. Its a single stove solely used for kettel and small pan etc. It cost £9 of ebay and it goes through Butane cartriges in about 30mins.
Can i get any recommendations for a good stove that is stable and has a decent gas supply. 2hrs+
There are 100's on ebay but they all look as cheap and fuel costly as my current one.

Thanks

We have a camping gas burner useses a small blue gas bottel, just for tea on the move, no counted how many cups of tea it lasts for but quite a few..

I have just had some more cartrige bottles delivered. They weren't cheap but are suposed to last 2x as long as the cheapo ebay versions.
The actual stove is of reasonable design it was just something of a bother changing the cartrige every 30-45 mins of use.

This is our new toy..back up stove

Thats a STOVE!

I like the colmans stove but as ive just bought a fue more cartridges ill burn them off first. And these are better than the cheap'o ebay copys. Ive used the stove over 1hr and the cartridge is still going strong.

I don't cook with anything.


The wife does it.

Oooooooo!!!! You may need one of these Mark ...

It's one of these I need -

Alternatively ...



Up to 20 mph so they say, that should give you a head start!

I do not prefer to cook but I just love to eat ! When someone cooks something new !
