it has only one ring, but the heat from it is great. very quick to boil a kettle. That's a 2 litre kettle in the photos:

The stove itself was only about 14 quid, I got four butane fills for another 2 quid (at discount). One butane fill is enough to do 2 main meals n the frying pan, with some left over to make several cups of tea  

Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking down some onion soup to have on the plot.

Forget the stove....I'm more impressed that you are a fellow double-bagger when it comes to tea.

I'd recommend them too.....always take  mine to the lottie with me

We've got one like that too - does yours come with a handy carry box?

    wow i thought that was just me who did that.

At home, I have a cup that holds just over a pint. 3 bags go in there, steeped for 3 mins or so. My tea looks reddish rather than brown when milk is added (just a drop, mmm ta).

Do you run your water through a filter before boiling, to remove hardness?

It did but I found the carry box very flimsy, it broke after being opened twice. It's still a good deal though   I was amazed how fast it was - according to the instructions, heat output is rated at 2.4Kw.

I'm making a bench area in the shed where it will be a permanent fixture.

Had filtered water at our old house.  Try Yorkshire Tea - a good strong cuppa.

I've been using my one of those stoves for a few weeks now and they are marvellous!!  

It's really nice to take some soup and milk down (coffee, sugar and teabags are already there) and spend the whole day in the lottie (with rather more frequent breaks than I was taking before I brought the stove down!)

They warm through the shed nicely too!

[splodger]

oooh - i picked up one of those from a freecycle clearance - didn't know if they were any good - might have to get a new gas cartridge and give it go - but not down the lottie (no sheds allowed - so flask and beers for me down there)

might be alright when up the woods though - might be nice to cook up a meal up there - as we normally just reheat things ontop of the woodburner)

thanks for the tip

I am on my third one. 1st one was stolen along with the teabags and sugar.Second one got run over when I was using it at work. this one is kept in its case and in the boot of my car untill needed and then put back.  But I only pay £10.00 from my local market,so they're not too dear. they are great for tea or to heat up soup when it gets a bit chilly.

I never knew some allotments might not allow sheds!!!! Seems strange really where do you keep your tools?

[gobs]

It does. Lot of carrying might be involved :shock:

We have got one as well, priceless item.

I saw this cooking tripod at Woodfest in St Asaph. I've currently got a mate making me one. I reckon its going to be great for a bit of outdoor cooking and hand warming.

[Selkie]

:roll: i know i'm a terrible worrywort but mushroom is it safe for you to keep(what looks like) an aerosol can right next to the stove?

the stove looks really natty though, i want one and i don't even have an alottment

[gobs]

I'm sure you get a scientific answer to that, Rose.
You asked for it.
