Camp Stove
« on: May 05, 2015, 12:55:22 PM »
I'm in the market for a small camp stove/kettle.....I have used the basic Hexamine tablet cookers a long time ago hiking etc  :||||

Will mostly be used for hot drinks and the occasional freeze dried meal prep  :think1


I need compact (not always bike use), quick and efficient to run.


The Jetboil Flash has made it to the top of my list so far......

what else have ppl used with success  :popcorn  :popcorn


Cheers

I use a normal gas burner that screws onto the top of a gas can like the jetboil, and carry a little set of stackable pans I bought at Kmart. I also have a adaptor to allow the use of the cheaper gas cans, but it is not quite as hot as the screw on type.

ST2UP, I need to have a long chat with you one of these days.
You're married, you don't make the hot drinks.

That is my setup. If I was not using the stove much I would just take the screw on gas can. I got mine at BigW when they were clearing out camping gear, so it was just meant to be.

I have one of these which considering how long I've had it looks as used as the one in the picture. It's used only as a standby now or if we just want enough water for a coffee while beside the road. http://www.outdoor-gear-malaysia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/camping-gaz-stove-malaysia.jpg

Our weapon of choice is the Kmart version of the butane stove with the bbq plate option as well  http://www.gocampingaustralia.com/uploads/1/0/2/8/10282839/8403737.jpg?384

I have an earlier version of the JetBoil which cost me $200.
It is quick and does boil a litre of water in 2 mins.
I also bought a Jetboil frying pan and a pot.

I had a trangie some time ago and it was a little small for 4x4 camping and a little big and noisy to carry for hiking and hunting.....so I shelved it for a while then gave to a mate who really wanted one. Not long after I was involved at work with a hiker that was burnt up his shin from a trangie when it was accidents kicked over.

Problem I have is you have no control over the metho if spilt and alight  :think1


Thanks for the thoughts guys  :-++
