Reading the trip report by WayneD to Peel Island camping, he mentioned that fires were not permitted.
This is the case in many parks etc, but generally portable stoves are acceptable, and I thought a small metho one I use for bushwalking may be of interest for kayak camping.
The 'Simon Stove' is compact in a vinyl case 90mm diam X 95mm high,
it can be dropped in the water with no ill effects [wipe dry and its ready to use again] $30 about 4 years ago.
To operate metho is poured in the stove and lit, after the metho heats up [about 2 mins] a circle of small jets start around the edge and its ready for use; slower than gas, but matches and metho and you are in business.
I have a billy which carries the stove, 500ml Nalgene Metho Fuel Bottle, cup, tea or coffee, and powdered milk [in ziplock bags] matches and spoon; all I need is water or tucker and I'm in business
