We have both types of stove. When we go camping with bikes we really need to keep the weight down, and use the suitcase stove. I found that one cannister lasted about 5 days, but that was with a couple of evenings eating out, and not used every lunchtime either.

We took two cannisters with us to Holland last year, and they lasted us two weeks - I think we only ate "out" one evening.

One thing I found was that I didn't see any cannisters abroad! But then as our only mode of transport was the bike, we were limited to where we looked!

I always take the larger, traditional stove with us when we camp with the car - mainly as it's so nice to have the room for more luxuries! Packing clothes for 2 weeks into a pannier is quite an art!

Oh and just so you know. NO question is too stupid!!! Some may even be grateful you ask the question they dare not.
Sorry to go slightly off topic but is this a stupid question?
