I'm after a new gas stove. I'm using a Coleman's petrol stove at the moment. But getting fed up with using the petrol one. What gas stove you guys recommend ? Years ago I use to use the Coleman's gas stove which was good but that was 20 year ago or so.

Bulin T4 gets highly recommended on here. Used one myself for years and it's good all year round with the pre heater.

So what gas would you use on it ? I.e Coleman's gas ? As I remember when the gas got cold in the winter months it would slow up

i use Coleman, turn the gas canister upside down and then let the preheater do its thing

don't turn the canister upside down until AFTER the stove is lit or fire ball!

FACT CHECK !
Dont ever buy a stove that doesn't have a pre heater pipe as if you wanted to use it in the depths of winter it wont work

SO this is the one to buy mate direct from the makers >>> LINKY POO

It's just part of the design you don't have to do anything to make it work. It's a feed pipe near enough to the heat to preheat the gas.

That's right. You'll notice on some stoves that there's a pipe that sits where the flames go, that pipe contains the gas
