Cheap/small petrol cooker
I have been looking at the petrol cookers explained in some other threads but they either seem to be cheap,robust and last forever but with the down side of being big (Sportster 533 i think) or more expensive and some with more problems than other but very small.
My brother and i plan to tour africa (still havent finally decided on where) and are planning it on 2 bikes. We to keep things cheap will probably try and cook most meals, therefore need a cooker that is reliable. But as travelling on the bike means less space need one that is portable/small/fold away type if you know what i mean.
I was very interested in the price and reviews on the sportster 533 all saying good things about it but never really liked the idea of it not coming apart for packing and never found out what size it was ie measurement (any help there from some one who has one please).
The others i looked at seemed to be the seperate bottle type will a pipe to the burner which folded away. These where the type i was orginally going for but after reading some reveiws all seemed to have maintenance problems, not work for long or others. And then the big problem be expensive.
So what might some of you more experienced people suggest? Should i spend more money on it or go for the cheaper larger one and live with it?
