Stoves

[Gaz51]

Anyone got any good recommendations for single burner stoves.

 

I fancied a Coleman sportster but as I will often have my youngster with me I feel it may be a bit risky. Kids love playing with anything flame orientated and I know he will pester me to allow him to brew up.

 

Also, I won't be using it in very cold conditions therefore I will go for a gas powered stove.

 

I'm looking for a stove that offers good stability, the availability of spare gas cartridges and good quality. I also don't wish to remortgage my house to finance the purchase. (As cheap as possible in other words)

 

Many thanks.

I got the coleman feather sumit or rather, excellent stove! will burn in rain, snow, ice, wind or shine. lol

 

and very stable due to the legs on the underside of the fuel container.

Look at this beauty. runs on god knows how many different types of fule gas and liquid.If you are out in the depths of winter gas can let you down when you most need that warm cupa. Have had an omnifule the last 4 years its tough as old boots mate

Just out of interest, do they come with an igniter fitted in case you forget your matches?

I use a SunnGas stove, uses gas canisters which fit inside (approximately 2 hours cooking from each) and comes with a reasonably sturdy carry-case. Available at most good outdoor/camping shops.

 

Tight lines

 

Meant to say that it has its' own igniter too, no lighter needed

I use both the coleman petrol burner which is fantastic for heating food and boiling water and the sunn gas cooker which runs on canned gas and this works fine also but not at the same temprature (heat) as the coleman. You can buy the sunn gas for about £15 and ten cartriges cost £12 in Argos. The sunn gas has a piezo ignighter and is probably better where children are involved.

whilst were on the subject ,i have a double burner coleman stove (the green one with the windshields) although it runs on unleaded (it hasent got the red unleaded sticker on it) its probably supposed to used the coleman fuel ,what actually is the difference is it just a case of changing jets :confused:

i will be putting it on ebay i expect as i never use it as i have a triple fuel single i prefer
