yes I use a barrow but if I was spending that amount of money I would of expected it to be a lightweight stove ?
just out of interest whats your reason for buying this type of stove ? is it purely for speed ?

Im a bit of a stove junkie and got/had pretty much every stove going only one I was disappointed in was a Primus Himalaya multi fuel and I think its madness buying this type of stove for use in the UK or Europe
as they were designed to be used where gas wasnt available and you could use an alternative fuel thats never gonna be the case is it ? currently think Im down to 11 stoves as have given a lot away not counting my Cobb or my Cadac`s or my 4 double burners

If you want decent kit buy it from an company that make quality outdoor kit. It will last and perform better in varying weather conditions. I do lots of outdoor stuff and mainly use a jetboil or MSR pocket rocket for that. However for fishing I use a vango..

Alpkit - good value and decent gear.
MSR - excellent quality, great performance premium price
Jetboil - fantastic performance, only good for boiling water as they are too fierce for slower cooking. If you want a fast brew or hot water then jetboil will save you a ton of gas as they are so effective. just dont plan to make pasta in it.

Vango - cheaper and decent. This one is pretty good, it's what I use year round for fishing:

Hope that helps.

I had one shortly after they came out, it's a decent stove but just couldn't get on with using it for slower cooked food, seemed all about quick boiling to me!

That and I didn't like boiling water in a pan, no kettle shots there without the extra bit.... Lol

Why can it not be turned down low?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
