Mine has a separate fuel tank (like a metal water bottle) and the head sits on its own three foldable feet, just a couple of inchs above the ground. Very stable. I think this one Coleman - Xpert Stove- "Coleman, the greatest name in camping gear" must be the replacement. |
Right i have read though all the posts and have to say thanks to all. The reason for the late reply is once i posted this thread i havent been able to access any of the updated posted till now dont know why that is!!!!!
Anyway. The sportster 533 is the cheapest:thumbup1: but from those measurements sounds quiet bulky.:censored: 150mm ie 15cm is quiet alot but it is cheap and dare i say it sounds simple and easy to use with out any massive input. (petrol in, light *100000) I liked the look of the back packers one and the exponent but have yet to search for any prices but as some one posted £66 for one of them this might be the middle ground that i was looking for in cookers. Will have to see about sizes now before i comment any more:helpsmilie: . bmw.bec How much is alot of cleaning? Like how many times would you have needed to clean it for say a 2 month trip with only using bad petrol unleaded and leaded(used 2 times a day)??? |
An MSR Whisperlite burns all liquid fuels, including diesel. I've had one for 15+ years and it works every time. It has a shaker jet... no maintenance needed. Comes with a different jet for kerosene (diesel)

Cleaning og MSR stove
Maxwell:
We used to get in routine of pricking the jet out every morning but a full strip down and clean maybe every 4 months (we used really c**p fuel at times). So its not a lot of time needed to keep it running smoothly |
You cant GET any cheaper and SMALLER than THIS!!

MSR Dragonfly
The Coleman 533, although cheaper I think worked out about twice the weight of the MXR Dragonfly I eventually opted for. Occasional blockages but I think i only stripped it down twice in 11 months of constant use. It has a shaker needle too which helps keep it clean. Think I paid about £60-70 online from USA.
