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

very good, easy to maintain, controllable heat Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

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 ![]() ![]() 4. Cheapo gas ring jobbie from GoOutdoors (£10 ish)...small, light, reliable, enough said... ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge |

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 |
