Yesterday i saw a cooker which had to rings on top and a oven has anyone got and tried one of these yet ?

My Mum used to have one but found they used to much electric if you had all 3 elements on at the same time - was about 3000W

Maybe they've improved now and are lower wattage? We use the 2 ring gas stove and have a mini oven (750W)

The one i saw yesterday  was run on butane gas.

Was it the Kampa one? Think they cost about £150? 
 I SO want one of those but hubby says I don't need any more camping stuff cluttering up the garage!!

Looks like a good bit of kit and apparently makes yummy buns (see report in camping magazine)

I bought a Flavel Vanessa off eBay a few years ago. It had two burners on top, a grill underneath and then a good size oven under that. Could cook a whole variety of meals easily - even a full Sunday roast. Cost me £50 and could just hook up to a gas bottle. In the end decided to cut down on the amount of gear we take and sold it again on eBay for £195!! When the guy arrived he gave me £200 and said keep the change - he was well chuffed as it was immaculate and new would have cost £350!

We now take just two Campingaz Bistro suitcase stoves which were in Millets half price sale for £10 each - bit of a difference!

If you really need something for your pies and pizzas, you could try the Coleman stove top oven.

Looks pretty Heath Robinson-ish to me, but it has been discussed to death in previous threads.

It folds flat, works on top of any biggish gas or petrol stove, and has a pretty little temperature gauge on the outside !!

Coleman Have now ceased production of this item although I`m sure there some still available in the shops.

I was just about to go out and buy a Roastmaster but this thread has given me the idea of using an electric mini oven - About £130 cheaper.
