Hi which is the best stove to get for first time campers-family of 5, Ive seen the grillogaz on offer at tow sure, 2 rings and a grill but still not sure, please help?

I'd go for the Coleman Dual Fuel. It runs on petrol which you can buy anywhere and is very cheap compared to gas bottles. It burns very hot so can boil water very quickly, yet is easy to regulate. It doesn't suffer from wind to the same degree as gas stoves do.

They cost about £55 so not cheap, but very good and reliable.

Ive got that one and really happy with it !

I'd have to agree with CKC69 - the coleman dual fuel is the mutts............!!

Great power output and no need to lugg around a gas bottle - works well for us!

Happy shopping!

i have the campingaz double burner and grill (we are a family of 5) and its great. I think it cooks great, just as quick and hot as my gas cooker at home (bag of boil in the bag rice take about 15 mins like at home etc....)

This one comes with a bag

Not sure if this one has the bag with it but you can buy seperatly for about £10

I also have a gas bbq too to cook meats etc on, but a lot of ppl like the campingaz party grills or the cadac (more expensive)

Have you looked at these:

Really quick and easy to set up and we find they cook really well; quickly and evenly. They also fold down and the unit itself becomes a case - very neat.
