Kev

If you are camping, running a 2 burner stove with grill . I would say at least 3 weeks

I use the 6kg in the van, and they run for ages, at least 2 cooked meals a day, and boosting the water heater for when she wants a shower.

I take it weight and space isnt an issue?

You can get campingaz stoves with the 907 bottles which will do a fortnights cooking easy

make sure you can get refills.
Calor and campingaz can be found almost everywhere....BP is quite rare. Homebase have the steel bottles, but not the gas light

We recently saved £30 (deposit for Gas bottle) - Take a trip to your local tip / recycle centre - Ask the lads nicely - All types & weights of disgarded gas bottles avaliable - We picked up a 7.5kg Calor Butane

Hope this isn't "Old" info or "Teaching Grannie how to Suck Eggs"
