Coleman twin petrol burner. Just put some Coleman fluid through every 10th refill or so. Helps keep burners clean

Colman multi-fuel twin burner for me too. You can get unleaded everywhere - use Colman fuel when you get the chance. Don't have to carry gas canisters around. Fantastic heat output. Lot of people have a separate small burner for a midday brew.

The Coleman stoves seems to get a big
Using a Coleman means carrying a second fuel jerry can. Avoid the plastic ones as they will crack especially if dropped on a corner. Guess how I know? 
Alternatives include a 5l metal jerry can. It can be difficult to fill coleman from a 5l jerry can so I decant it into 1l ali Sigg bottles HTH Brendan |

I use Stihl plastic fuel containers for my garden machinery at work and they get thrown around all over the place (won't break) they also have a non drip filling system

A quick look at the Stihl plastic fuel cans shows that some are UN approved! UN approved fuel cans will be more robust then the cheaper ones available in the diy/motorist sheds Brendan Last edited by leeds on 19th Feb 2011 9:50pm. Edited 1 time in total |

my cooking options,
1. Ozpig with cast iron pot...great for 'atmos', roast chicken & hog-roast baps...mmm bulky though 2. Weber gas grill...great for instant griddle heat. aka b-b-q...simple, quick...but again bulky 3. MSR Reactor stove...tiny, fast at boiling water...really only great for brews  & hydrating freezed dried foods 
4. Cheapo gas ring jobbie from GoOutdoors (£10 ish)...small, light, reliable, enough said...

Another vote for the Coleman. They don't run well on unleaded, aspen 4t is alkylate petrol and far cheaper than Coleman fuel. Always carry a spare injector and keep the primer oiled with 3in1

In Australia we paid less for a 5 litre container of Coleman fluid then we paid for a 0.5/1.0 litre of Colemans fluid in the UK

I use an ozpig too (more recreational than overland but a lovely way to relax in the evening).
Jetboil for quick cuppa. Coleman for family cooking. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |
