Dear all,

I am in excited receipt of our new Camping Gaz Chef Vario stove, you know, the double burner with wind-shied one that folds down into it's own carry case but the one with the rounded edges.

Now here's the thing, in the middle of the lid, on the inside is a wee brackety thing but what on earth is it meant to do? The pictures in the book of distructions don't show a stove with this bracket, nor do the pictures on the camping gaz uk site. One could hang a used tea bag from it to dry it off before a second trip round the buoy but apart from that... any ideas?

Picture ( possibly) attached.

regards as always

It's a safety measure to stop both burners and the grill being used at the same time as a pan covering the middle area, causing too much heat build up.
