IN YOUR OPINION What is the best stove you have used or have in your camper or rig? It'll need to be hooked up to a 4.5kg bottle
Was looking at this but it might be a bit small

I have Lido Junior in my camper and works great.
http://caravansplus.com.au/catalog/p...oducts_id=3822
I don't have one but have also heard that the Lido is the ducks nuts.
I have a jackaroo 3 burner kmart jobbie and never failed us for the last 6yrs owning it.
I also have 1 of the large oldschool sized coleman 3 burner but it's too big to pack in the troll.
Work out what / how much and how many ppl you need to cook for and take it from there as you mat find that gasmate 1 will be clowe to what you want it to do
I have a primus twin burner..
http://www.anaconda.com.au/Product/C...2-Burner-Stove
25000 btu out put.. It doesn't have holes in the burners, Its layered sheets..
Boils a medium kettle in a couple of minutes.
But also ticks over slow enough for toast.
Love it, and would definitely buy another..
It also Haas run cold base. So safe to use On plastic tables. Which we do..
True. I have to feed a family of 5, we have a very cheapy one at the momment we bought from rays a few years ago, but since we are getting the new camper, we wanted a newer stove as well, i 'm waiting to hear back from GIC to get dimensions for their new fold out kitchen. That way i'll be able make sure it fits in there.
A family of 5 may find that gas mate a bit small, may need to look at a 3 burner but having said that, a camper will make things easier to pack the larger sized stoves
The primus is the width of most 3 burners. 590 long by 280 wide.
I won a Webber mini q, use that for everything, bit bulkier than standard cooker, but cooks a damn fine roast in the middle of nowhere. Then just have a single burner butane stove for boiling the billy.
Mitch,
I have two Coleman Stoves, a 2 burner, and a 3 burner, and they are great, as for the best.....I havent tried the others so I cant tell ....:biggrin:
Mic
Just to be different.....
I don't use gas, I use the Coleman dual fuel stove (shellite or ULP). I have a 2 burner I use mainly around camp and a couple of the single burner ones for on the road or as extras at camp.
From recollection are about 45,000 BTU and work in cold climates where gas can be a pain in the bum.
HHHmmm my missus had said she wants one of these, Might be worth it too, since that lido is around $300 markQuote:

Also for longer trips, its much easier, safer, less heavy and less bulk to carry spare fuel than it is to carry spare gas. Finally unleaded is much cheaper than gas - not a real concern - but one more advantage.Quote:

Dual fuel are good but burn out jets faster so carry spares.
Found this small hooded BBQ on hard rubbish day, once cleaned and cut down to size it should travel well
Why's that??Quote:

This is the same as my 2 burner. I got mine from amazon as they were a bit cheaper.

I also have two of these little beauties, also from Amazon.
http://bit.ly/1lUYeg1
Coleman also make a ripper dual fuel lantern.
@threedogs,
Never had issues with burners. A mate if mine has had his over 10 years and the only thing he's done is give it a paint
The same as Bill, I use mine around the high country, so on those cold winter mornings when everyone is desperate for coffee, I'm the one with the first brew!
And it is heaps easier to carry a fuel container than a gas bottle. Bonus that I drive a petty Patrol!!!!
One Coleman dual burner and one three burner. The dual is 30 years old the other 2 y/o, both work very well.
Butane for us , canisters are easy to pack and can be purchased everywhere. Work well on cold damp mornings if you rotate 2 canisters or poor some of the warm water on the canister. Used one in minus 13 in the high country with no issues as the air was dry.
I also have a Lido Junior & rate it highly. Two burners & a griller. It is a low pressure stove requiring a regulator on the gas bottle. Much quieter to use & better than previous high pressure/direct connection stoves we’ve had to cook on. Also a little larger, better space for a couple of pots/pans. Not sure why but it will actually boil water quicker than those stoves used without a regulator. If considering a Lido Junior be ware that there are 2 or 3 different models. I chose to get the one with the flame out safety cut out, even though this wasn’t legally required for my set up. It added about $100 to the cost! I did make a couple of wind shields for it though that we attach with neodymium magnets as the low pressure flame is a bit easier for the wind to blow out.

I got a Webber Baby Q via flybys not used at all..
When I bought my caravan it came with one of these in a slide out set up:
http://www.marinebarbecues.com.au/sizzler-pro
Great BBQ.
I did some searching and contacted the distributes and up graded it to this:
http://www.marinebarbecues.com.au/sizzler-deluxe
Ok caravan has a 3 burner stove in it so I am cheating.
Now I don't need the BabyQ. Still in its box unused.
Don't need it at home as I have 2 of these (and one other from Barbecues Galore, got a 5 burner + spit and side burner from them at half price as I made too much noise re their shit products very cheap) :
http://www.beefeaterbbq.com/signatur...93761_1001221/
OK greedy 3 BBQs at home. 2 on operation all 7 days a week.
So who wants to get a Webber BabyQ cheap?
I have no use for mine.
Re the comment the BabyQ true. Send me a PM if interested.
Not looking at full price anyway.
Unused all I have done is open box to check its all there.
I have 3 BBQs at home, Colman 3 burner stove and a 3 burner stove in van . I don't need this Webber Baby Q.
Mine is ‘semi permanently’ mounted I suppose. It is mounted inside the pod, but on drawer slides. To get around any issues with clearances from combustible materials & regulations about permanent gas connections I have a gas bayonet fitting outside close to the stove, & pull out the stove on the slides & plug into the gas to use. Takes a few seconds. Removal from the vehicle altogether to use elsewhere is just as quick & I have a longer hose for this purpose.Quote:

Thanks Cuppa, I have decided this the type I will get.Quote:
