OK this is is a really blonde question. What do I use as fuel for my camping stove?

Bear with me - it is my first time!!!

What stove is it?

Sunflare (bought in Aldi) double burner with grill and butane regulator.

Can I just buy those small things that look like a can? How long do they last (only going Fri to Sun for the first time)?

Thanks!

No fraid not you'll need a proper calor/butane bottle.  I'm sure someone will advise you properly about these shortly.

If all that sounds like too much hassle for your weekend then buy a 'suitcase' stove (one ring burner comes in a carry case) which you use with those cans.  Like you I bought one of those double ring and grill jobbies not knowing what to use with it about three years ago and I still havean't used it!  I love the suitcase stoves and have cooked some amazing meals on them. One of those and a disposable bbq is all you need for a weekend I reckon.

ps the suitcase things cost about a tenner.

Have a fun weekend
