Did I need one - No, did I order one - of course. The amount of stuff I buy on here I don't need is ridiculous

I used one of these whilst camping. It's surprisingly powerful. It boils up enough water for a brew in a couple of minutes. It's less good for cooking as the flame is quite small and hot. So you need a really good, heavy pan to avoid things burning. But of course the last thing you want to take along is a heavy pan.

y'know end of the world scenario -
zombi crisis - fry brains
ending up on a deserted remote island - with no food + no gas
because you feel like bear grylls & decide to book a hotel near the camping site
you want the hobo experience but don't want to fill a trash bin, light the inside on fire and place a can of beans inside to 'cook'
more daft excuses to come :smiley:

what kind of gas cartridges do these take and how long do they last?

I already did that. There isn't any link to cartridges or a note of what size or spec of cartridge it takes.
I bet I know somewhere that does it cheaper..... CPC

I've got a similar Campingaz one I picked up for £12 from Go Outdoors last month. They all take the "standard" 220g / 250g isobutane cartridges which you can currently get from Halfords for £1.50 each or 4 for a fiver.
Please be careful with these, they are quite poorly constructed in my opinion. I met a man wrapped from head to toe in bandages, covered in burns. He'd got the gas bottle in wrong, his tent porch had filled with gas and when he pressed the igniter, boom.

Not sure on this one, but the Campingaz one I bought has a little clip that engages in a gap in the collar of the cartridge. If they are not lined up then you can't move the lever on the front which locks the cartridge and allows the gas to flow. The important thing to remember is to not try and force it, if it won't move easily then something is wrong.
The cartidges are self sealing when you remove them so I'd recomend not leaving one in too.

1.5kg is portable maybe if you have a car.
If you're hiking, you're much better off just buying a can or lager or a tin of cat food and making your own stove. Just use alcohol as a fuel and you're good to go.
Have a look on youtube for the Supercat stove and the penny can stove.

if you ever have a power cut in the house, these are very handy for heating up a quick meal

I agree. I thought these were foolproof. Apparently not.

don't f**k about with gas, get a campingaz one or the like, this looks super flimsy.

What evidence are you using to say this is flimsy? A photo?

Yes, hence the "looks"

Let me make sure I avoid your reviews and comments in future due to your opinion that a product is 'super flimsy' by seeing a photo of it. Well done....not!! (as my 4 year old would say )
