Yak-camping stove recommendations?

[mingle]

I've had a few of the butane stove and they certainly win on the speed and cleanliness front.

I'd always read about metho stoves and liked the simplicity and lack of any moving parts,
so I picked up the Trangia and Clik-Stand. I guess you have to be careful with any type
of easily combustible fuel, but I actually feel safe using alcohol stoves.

I've never cook inside a tent with any type of stove - possibly in the front vestibule,
but never inside. It's actually very unlikely that I'd ever be out in conditions that
meant I'd have to bring the stove inside anyway!

There's a trip in the offing this weekend (if this sodding weather settles down), so
I should be able to give the stove a good try-out in the great outdoors at last!

Cheers,

Mike.

Just picked up the Trangia gas burner, so I can run gas as well as the normal Trangia metho burner.

Fits perfectly in the Clikstand and works great.

I also use an adaptor that allow the use of the common 220 gram 'nozzle' type butane cartridges.

Much cheaper than the screw-in butane canisters and work just as well.

Good setup mingle! Where did you get the adapter and how much if I can ask?

I swear by the jetboil.

me and a mate were fishing in the middle of winter on a beach with the wind blowing strong. our camp was hidden up in the dunes and neither of us wanted to go back, cook and miss out on something happening. so i grabed my jetboil and brought it down to the beach. my mate didnt believe i could cook anything and we had no wind shelter. well i proved him wrong as 2 mins later we were digging into 2min noodles.
i then proved him further wrong by cooking bacon and eggs on the beach the next morn with it.

i highly recommend one

Hi all,

Sadly can't afford the jet boil at the moment and as I will need something the Jumpin Pin trip I managed to get this one on flea-bay for $15- + p&h $6-. Looks fairly smart and should do the job hopefully it won't rust too quick.

Mate at $15 you could have bought 10 and used one every time you went camping and chucked it away afterwards. That's only any good if it works at all of course.
