This type are really good. You could probably get one for about £10 if you shop around:

We have a couple of camping stoves that we can use, we used them in the summer when the wooden pylons across the fields to our house were replaced. One is a very lightweight one that runs of a c500 Coleman canister, the other runs off a larger Calor that we also use for the BBQ. The Halfords one is a good backup one, in fact we used 2 of them in our last house when we had no kitchen, the gas is more expensive though.0

Just wait for the price of bottled gas to skyrocket too...if it hasn't already!
We might as well prepare to bbq outdoors, over a log or coal fire, this winter, the way things are going! 😉
Oh, i don't have a bbq!!How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)0
