portable cooking gas and stove in France

[nomadichobbit]

Kitchen not yet fitted and we don't cook much, so can anyone recommend a portable single stove, for which we can find disposable gas bottles in France readily. It's mainly for brewing tea/coffee and making quick noodle soups.

Thanks

These stoves are widely available and very stable and efficient;

Go outdoors sell the cannisters quite cheaply;

Hi Gear 220g Butane Gas Cartridge (4 pack) | GO Outdoors

So you could take a few with you providing they are stored correctly.

They also sell the stove for £10.

Please note they are CP 250 rather than C250 cannisters.

I don’t know if it was the cheaper ones but there has been a lot on some forums of models similar to that one where the cans have got hot and exploded so buy a branded one.

For a petrol stove it will be easier to find fuel but the stove will be dearer to buy.

The earlier versions of these can be found for pennies. Campingaz - Backpacking Stoves

This did happen in Australia I think it was Annie.

They were cheaper faulty versions and people used oversized pans on them which reflected heat onto the gas cylinder. The ones over here are perfectly safe, but still advisable not to use a pan which exceeds the size of the grill.

Like Nigel, I have accumulated a few of these and they are really good.

Do you not have to have a fixed stove to reg as a motorcaravan.
Any way go outdoors has there little gas ovens reduced to £90 which go on small cyl so i bought one rather than a m/wave,cyl can be bought in 10 packs ebay for £10 post free.
