Just seen this in my local asda for £7.50.
I already have a gelert one but am thinking of getting another so I can cook more.
Has anyone used the Asda one and if so are the any good

If you have the gelert this is just a rebadge if you have the discount card and don't mind buying from go.

Had seen this one but not a bargain by time you add on delivery or petrol costs.
Is all Hi-Gear rebadged Gelert?

Good find!
My only experience is that the Camping Bistro style the pan holder section sits inside the unit. Whereas on Gelert/Hi gear they just sit on top and I don’t find as stable (owned both Bistro & Hi Gear)

Looks like the Asda one is the type that has the gas cartridge hanging out the back the same as the sunncamp one.
Therefore they may be smaller than the Hi-Gear, Gelert and Campingaz ones.

Is it me or does the flame sit closer to the canister on the new design 'compact' stoves? Prefer the old design myself, if a design ain't broke, don't fix it! ------------- Pally

I prefer the new style, from a safety point of view, you cannot put the pan over the top of the gas bit. because it bulges up.
The older style was far too easy to use too a too big pan and just overlap the gas compartment, risking the overheating of the cartridge.

Just bought 2 of the Go Outdoors Hi Gear ones and were very disappointed with them. One had to go back as the top was bent and did not sit flat over the flame. When we went to use the replacement the flame was so poor the only way to get a full flame was to hold the dial full to the left (at the light position). Never used the other one but took them both back and bought a campinggaz one from Argos instead.
The guy in Go said they were very hit and miss on quality but I would not recommend them, even at their current £5.99 price.
