    What stove / cooker ?

    Right I cant find my jet boil I've probably lent it out and never got it back ( it was falling apart anyway ) so looking to get a replacement so what's better a Jetboil Zip Camping Stove - Blacks or a Primus Eta Solo Stove - Blacks

    I've had a Jetboil for about five years. Useful and compact, but I've always been a bit disappointed with the boil time. Never seems to be as good as the advertised figures.

    So personally, if I was replacing I would give the Primus Eta a go.

    Have a look on-line for the magazine TGO (The Great Outdoors?) - I think they have done reviews.

    I was sick of losing half my water when I used my metal mug and lid so opted for a cooking pot

    Optimus Terra Solo Cookset

    and my stove is one of these

    Vango Folding Gas Stove - Vango For Perfect Camp Meals

    I did think about the Jetboil style of set up but every time I see someone use them either the lid is missing or the igniter is on the blink.

    Yup and you'll never buy anything else. Great bit of kit, lights easily heats things quickly.

    Using pump unleaded makes them usable pretty much anywhere in the world.

    Yup, I've got a Peak 1 multifuel which I bought for exactly that reason. It cost me about £45 twenty years ago and is still going strong.

    The new BCB dragon fuel is supposed to be very good, especially in conjunction with their crusader system
