Don't waste your time with daft rebranded camping cookers, get a decent mountaineering cooker that's easily servicable on the bank and will last a lifetime.
The best cooker out there I've found is the Optimus Polaris. It's not cheap, by Christ is it mustard coupled with a PawDog burner head. It's multi fuel so you also use it with gas, petrol, diesel etc. There is also the MSR Whisperlite which comes in a very close second and is exceptional also.

Bought one of those adaptors as recommended on a previous thread. Load of rubbish. The gas leaks everywhere whilst you are trying to fill the can. Waste of gas & money paid to purchase the adaptor. I bought 12 cans on ngt gas for £30 at a show. Will l last me a couple of years. If it gets really cold I use a Coleman with aspen fuel.

opinions are like bums we have one so Im sorry I really should not laugh at your post
but the 2 stoves your advocating are wonderful if your visiting countries where gas is not available and you can use another type of fuel but
utterly pointless over priced noisy stoves for use here in the UK
......................................there is F**k al daft about a Bulin stove as you put it these stoves are brilliant and for around £24 a very good buy AND will happily work in sub zero temps on butane !
as they have a pre heater pipe over the burner head you simply light the stove and then turn the gas can upside down and the stove will vaporise the liquid fuel into gas as its heated and run like its a summers day
Or
a Coleman sportster will be cheaper to run than gas EVEN if you run it on the super clean Aspen fuel

Was thinking exactly the same thing Gerry. My T4's going into it's fourth or fifth winter now and hasn't missed a beat. Team it up with a decent gas like the GoSystem powersource and it won't let you down. 👍

Lol
Gas is s hite. Always has been. Takes ages to make a cuppa, especially so when it gets cold. Fannying around with gas. Yeah, sure thing.
With what I'm suggesting you don't have to get rid of empty gas canisters, you just fill up with whatever you use in your jam jar and you're golden. Red hot and boils stuff in minutes instead of eons. My Optimus is well quiet with the PawDog and the MSR is sensible out of the box, but hey, if you want to arse about with pony gear, you go right ahead and fill ya boots. Go mental.
Oh, and the Coleman's sportsman. F's sakes, like fire hazard waiting to happen. More s hit tips from you. Well done.

It must have been a while since you used a half decent gas cooker. Those Bulins cost nothing and have seen me through the depth of several winters now with absolutely none of the issues we used to see with gas. It's clean, quick and easy.

i have a standard advanta stove, only a cheapy.

The two that I can see on the angling direct page have pre heat pipes so should be fine

Unless there's been some huge leaps since 2015, I think they're useless. They're governed by the pressure in the gas bottle. Some might have shielding which might make a difference. Mine on the other hand is like turbo nutter bstard powerful, although it simmers just the same as a gas cooker. It is the ball hang. Yetis on My Everest use these things
Conversely, have you ever used anything like what I'm suggesting to have a clear knowledge of the differences? Also, how often do you go, are you out every single weekend every week, do you also fish during the week, or do you just go once in a while? Cooking the occasional pot noodle and a cuppa every once and a while, anything would seem good.

All my session fishing takes place South of London so that may make difference. Water freezes at nought degrees C. Two or three consecutive days with daytime temperatures below freezing and the lakes will freeze and nobody will be fishing. We are not in the Arctic and we need liquid water to fish. Never had a problem with cheap lightweight gas stoves. Little bit slower in cold weather, but I can live with that. Don't waste a fortune on some more overkill gear.

sunshine I probably used an Optimus 8R Camping Stove before you were born as you sound like a soppy kid ? with your pathetic insults
and I also had a Primus omnifuel both I got rid of very quickly they are great expedition stoves but totally pointless in the UK fishing scene
Bulin t4 stoves are a superb stove for fishing if you like gas and coleman when run on the right fuel (aspen) and used by anyone with more than 2 brain cells are as safe as gas or any stove
and when I go fishing Im in no hurry as often I use my Trangia now thats slow but love the silence and dont care how long it takes Im in chill mode when relaxing fishing
