Who can recommend a stove?

[Simon#83]

Looks like I've arrived a little late in the debate, but here's a link to my Chinese stove anyway:

I tried it for the first time at the NW200 last weekend and it's a lovely bit of kit. It is a bit of a roarer, but what I like about it it's compactness and the ease at which you can swap between petrol/Coleman fuel and gas. There is also a spare jet that can be used if you want to use diesel, I wouldn't fancy trying this but it's good to know there's a flexibility in which fuel sources can be used.

I'd considered using panel wipe as an alternative to Coleman fuel, but have settled on using Aspen 4T (http://www.aaoil.co.uk/environment-Aspen-4T-alkylate-petrol as a cleaner alternative to Unleaded. There also happens to be a stockist near me.


HTH,

Thanks, Simon - I'll give that Aspen stuff a try.  I like the "no smell" bit.

The 442 arrived yesterday, so that eBay seller is to be recommended - great price and quick delivery as well.

But look again at the total price.  Still a bargain.

I would be tempted, if I had any money whatsoever this month.
