Can anyone recommend me a gas stove which meets the below
Lightweight
Freestanding
Small pack down. (Ideally fit inside my kettle)
Under £30
I have seen a load on amazon but would prefer a used and abused recommendation

I've been using the trakker armolife rotary stove for quite a while now and I think it suits what you want perfectly. Currently on angling direct for £28 and i cant fault it

Bulin T4 but won't fit in your kettle.

Don't buy anything from a tackle company, Bullin T4 or anything from Primus. Good spares and repairs with the latter, will last years.

You can get stoves on eBay for around £12
I bought two a while back in case one failed and haven't needed the spare
It has lasted at least a couple of years already - no need to pay silly money

This. I've used a primus omnifuel for 7 years now, only recently had to replace part of the pump in the fuel bottle. The omnifuel is huge overkill for carping but tell that to my past self. Primus have good customer service, stoves that last and easily purchasable spares.

Bullin T4 and buy a bigger kettle if it doesn't fit.

Wychwood one is good and packs down into its own bag which fits in a small kettle.

The Bulin T4 is fantastic but neither particularly lightweight or small.
Loads of compact ones on eBay, any of the ones that the legs come off will fit in a small kettle.

MSR pocket rocket around £30 & will fit in a kette

FireMaple from eBay or the equivalent from Alpkit in the UK should fit all of your needs perfectly. Alpkits customer service is spot on by the way

Looks like it's the bulin T4 then, just searched amazon and the boundless voyage game up. Is this the same thing? As it's the only one with a decent delivery time

i use one of these spring-autumn (which i then change to a t4 once the temperature cools down, but its a bit big for me for the rest of the year when this does the job more than adequately).
Folds up inside my small trangia kettle (which then fits inside my cooking pan). been absolutely fine, no issues.
i paid less than that from memory - cant remember where from though

I use the tiny trakker one in summer too, the bulin seems to cane the gas in summer. I can't remember the name but I bought a spare off amazon for a tenner, same as the trakker rotary
Also noticed the valve on the bulin let's by, bit of a pain screwing/unscrewing the can every time I use it, might have to strip it soon

Bought this exact stove from GO outdoors at least six years ago. It works all year round although a little slower in freezing conditions. Never missed a beat and boils a pint of water in no time. Surprisingly adjustable for heat too. Used a lot for fishing and camping in all weather's, chucked about in rucsacs, barrows and vehicles. It just keeps working. Just recently noticed the Piezzo ignition had packed up but never used it anyway. This is a great bit of kit for the price. Will buy another if they are still around when the time comes. Sometimes you buy a bit of cheap, simple kit that really works and just keeps working whatever the conditions. This is one.

Just to play devils advocate I've had 2 of them and both gave up within a year.
Replaced with a T4 and it's still going strong to this day.

ditto, never used the ignition if im honest. this has done everything i have asked (or can reasonably expect it to).
i do like the t4, just find it unnecessary bulk for most of the year when this does the job just as well, and packs away in the kettle so is much more compact.
t4 does come out from Oct/Nov dependant on the temperatures.

That one is identical to one I've had for years, 'Fire Maple' brand from Ebay, still going strong. Must be a syndicate thing, Tim...

The T4 gets lots of good reviews on here.
I wouldn't touch Firemaple with a barge pole. I bought the Ti gas version, it leaked badly at the canister connector/pipe joint, just as well I hadn't lit it, I posted a vid on the forum a few years back...the kicker, the Ebay seller refused to see it as a fault and Ebay backed them up
...what the hell

My Ridge Monkey stove leaked suddenly at the gas can end too. Lucky I was cooking outside the bivvy at the time really. Still burnt my hand trying to turn it off though :(

Oddly enough I've just got back from snowdon where my 15yr old primus is blowing a yellow flame out of the pipe joining the can and base of the actual cooker. Am looking for a new one, although my £15 cheap low gravity cooker from ebay which is probably 10yrs old is still going strong.

Interesting how you get different experiences of an identical product. Had mine since 2015, not missed a bit (apart from the piezo that I've never used anyway)

I was going to suggest replacing the pipe, but they seem to be charging a fortune for spares now, 30 odd quid for a hose
That makes a mockery of the long term value of buying a better quality stove, especially when I can buy a replacement for the bulin for a fiver

Mine might well have been Fire Maple now you mention it.
We clearly aren't making enough teas as a syndicate then
