Hi all,
I'm just wondering what stoves people have for camping and what they recommend. I have the Coleman traditional single burner, a Cobb, and an Ozpig which are all great.
I'll be getting an Aquaforno soon and probably a Weber Smokey Joe, but what else do you recommend?

Yep, I'm already there! I picked one of Dave's 'kitchens' up last week to test for the mag. And I'm not just saying it 'cos he's one of our own, but he's done a great job, it's well built and sturdy and will last a lifetime!

Waaa? Ok, do you know the room in your house that has a cooker, fridge and a table? Well that's what I collected from Dave, a mobile, room in your house that has a cooker, fridge and a table in it... not magic friggin' beans!

That guy trying to sell cooking rooms meant the swear filter got updated
I've a Coleman twin burner petrol (love it) and a small primus like (chineese copy) single burner 300g jobbie which is scary as fk to use, but powerful.

When I used to go out walking I tested most of the stoves available at that time - camping gaz, meths cookers etc, my favourite was always the Primus though, mostly avoided by others, especially the DoEers, because it was a pig to light (unless you kept it clean and maintained) but but I could cook my food on it in a third to a quarter of the time it took on all the other camping cookers. I bought 2 from a market stall holder who had polished them up as an ornament for about a fiver - they were fetching around £30-50 at the time. Looking at the above link I wish I still had them to sell now if he can get that for them

I've got a Jetboil, they are fab, so bloody quick. I've then got a Kelly Kettle for boiling water , I boil up a few litres for brews, flasks then washing up. A normal cheapo gas two ring, finally a washing machine drum for bbq

I have one of these - a braai:
It comes with a grill and cover and the legs fold up so it slips into the back of the 90.
I then use the tripod and dutch oven to cook the remainder of the food as a pot on or as slow cooker over the braai:

Oop - got a Kelly Kettle as well. Also keep a camping gaz double ring if there are a few of us camping together.
Something about sitting around in the firelight and toasting marshmallows over the braai though

We generally just use a hole in the ground with some coals taken from the fire in there. Then we fashion up a few rests (sticks, cable ties, duct tape etc), spear a leg of lamb on the spit and we're away! Follow that up with a regular dousing from a squeezy bottle of home made marinade and then slice away! We also have a grill for chicken, burgers etc.
In the morning the fire will still be going so we whack a frying pan on it and its fry up time!
Cookers - pah!
