I want something to supplement / replace my time served Trangia (almost 20 years old but still going strong).

If it replaces the Trangia then it needs two burners. Grill is a bonus but not essential.

Go Outdoors have a few options

http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/campingaz-camping-chef-stove-portable-cooker-and-grill/COREACAD069487 – £40
http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/camping-equipment/cooking/stoves/hi-gear-double-burner-stove-with-grill-lid-and-piezo/COREACADZHG166 – £35
http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/camping-equipment/cooking/stoves/coleman-perfectflow-two-burner-stove/COREACAD204326 – £30 (half price apparently)
http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/camping-equipment/cooking/stoves/kingfisher-portable-gas-stove/HEROACABOLSTOVE – £10

Anyone got one of the £10 cheapies?

Or maybe a single burner stove eg

http://www.ultimateoutdoors.co.uk/item/Brand_coleman-f1-power-pz-stove_0_0_23771_1.html – £25

Me and a few mates each have one of those £10 jobbies we use when we go night fishing and such, work fine, gas is cheap and lasts plenty time. 1 can will do 3 of us with cups of tea and bacon/sausages/soup/ etc for a full night. Think Asda are selling them at the moment.

Used the camping gaz camping chef for years. Rice on one burner, curry on the other, and a nan bread under the grill – sorted!

Forgot to reply… thanks folks.

Ben – what gas do you use? I've just seen a review of the Camping Gaz stove on Amazon and somebody reckons a calor bottle, regulator and hose cost £80. Ouch.

I've got a Sunncamp cooker like this:

and it's fab. But, as you mention you need to add probably £40-£50 for a bottle & regulator.

Worth it in my opinion as you can easily do eggs, bacon, sausage, toast etc…..mmmmmmmmm. There's not a lot better waking up on a sunny morning and cooking up a nice fry up.

I use the 10 quid jobbie too and I can't fault it.

Use the camping gaz camping chef and it works fine. Regulator comes with the stove – well it did when I got it. You have to spend quite a lot to get your first bottle of gas, but then you just swap it for a full one for something like £15. I've been told you can usually find these Camping Gaz bottles at the local dump and then just go for the swap. If you've got the space you can use a big calor gas bottle which is cheaper in the long run but you'll need a different regulator (I think)

Cheers (again).

Running two Trangias for 3 breakfasts and numerous brews (most recent camping trip) used at least £5 of meths and two eco-gel burner thingies.

Go-outdoors reckon the big CG 907 cylinder (2.75kg) is £28 empty, then £18 to fill.

Just found a good post on UKCampsite:

f you don't intend camping abroad , go for calor rather than campingaz.
A 907 holds 2.7kg gas and costs about £18- £20 to refill. A calor gas 4.5kg costs about £15 to refill.
So calor gives you almost twice as much gas for your money.
