Just seen this on ebay, wondered if anyone has any experience of them. We've got one small suitcase stove and were thinking of doubling it up and taken them instead of our bigger stove and gas bottle, space saving really.
I am a big fan of this type of stove as it cooks faster than the low pressure bottle hook ups. That said, I have 2 single burners instead of a double but that's not a bad price -MC
don't see the point really,if you already have a single just buy another single,job done.
two singles are more versatile,sometimes you only need the one,and if something goes wrong,they are cheap to replace.
if something goes wrong with the double,you are stuck with having to spend more money to replace.
I do intend getting another single one, I just posted these to see what people thought as I've never seen them before. There is a cheaper one on ebay too £19.79 plus postage, just seems a good idea for anyone who hasn't got one.

We needed two burners for the family camp last weekend in Wales. We took a suitcase stove and our daughter took hers and both fitted nicely on my kitchen unit. No need to buy a double, when two singles is probably cheaper!
Interesting idea for those who haven't got a stove yet, though, so well worth posting.
We have 2 singles. I prefer this type of stove instead of my other which was one with a grill as i find them a lot faster.
If i knew they did doubles before i had them tho i probably would've bought one of these instead.
I like suitcase stoves and am still hanging on to the two I have for non-camping use, like cooking bacon for breakfast at work from time to time.
They have fallen out of favour for camping use due to butane canister does not perform well if at all at low temperatures.

I have 2 singles, then got the double suitcase one. It's loads better smaller than 2 singles together. Used it several times last year. Not been camping yet this year.

I'm with most others too, 2 single stoves outweigh a double in so many ways. 2 singles will squeeze into little spare spaces too like under car seats and if one side of the double stove breaks your stuffed really! The singles are good for taking down the beach too.
It is not advised to put two suitcase stoves adjacent to each other, as both have the canister on the same side so one of them will be close to the heat from the other, if you know what I mean. Whereas, with the double, the gas cansisters are both on the outside edge of the stove. Fair enough, it will be safe if you are going to use two singles on separate tables or stands.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
