windproof camping stove

[whisper]

I've always struggled to boil a kettle while camping on a windy day, going to buy a new camping stove soon but didn't know if any of you lot have found a good solution? I was thinking about a metal wind break thing

Thanks

Pikey Dave's got A cracker which he uses while out on the rib for afternoon tea in all weathers, he even brewed up while hadd was fighting rough waters of south stack to catch up with us on the round Anglesey fishing trip last year ...served in china cups as well with home made fruit cake I might add. Very posh, for Pikey's anyways

That sounds ideal

At the moment I've been using one of these, it's great but too high up when windy...

P.D.'s probably in his caravan in feather now, but tomorrow when he see's this thread I'm sure he will be along with the make of brewing device that he uses

Nice one Kerny

Next time you're over mate, have a look at my 2 burner Coleman stove. it's fantastic and it's got it's own inbuilt wind shield.

]Coleman Unleaded 2 Burner Stove - Only £97.20 - Poingdestres

Don't run them on petrol though-use Aspen 4t, which Handy garden Machinery sell.it's about 13.5 quid for 5 litres but it still works out cheaper than using a gas cannister, uses less fuel than on petrol and gives more heat. 5 litres lasts me about 3 to 4 weeks camping.

Totally Agree, I use one for fishing, and am very happy with it. I do run it on unleaded, and have no problems. When i take the missus with me for a week or 2 carp fishing, it is amazing what you can cook on them. I even have a small collapsable oven, which sits on the burners, and is great for cooking toad in the hole!

Would reccomend them without any problems.

If you just want to boil water get a jet boil it's a proper piece of kit

I think nos got the decimal point in the wrong place. Aspen is expensive, but not that expensive!

I've got a Jetboil and a Kelly kettle for high and low tech tea making. Both excellent bits of kit for different situations, but to be honest I use a cheapo gas cartridge camping stove more often.

Assuming you are actually camping and not aboard your rib, I find a ring of stones or a hollowi cut in the turf with a pile of small twigs, covered with larger branches followed by a couple of small logs when it's all going works a treat....

Just remember some old newspaper in case the surrounding kindling (dead leaves etc) are damp!

Yaaawwwnn, wot eh! somebody mention me?

I got me one o' these They ain't cheap but they are the danglies. I managed to pick mine up in Nevis Sport in Fort William when they closed down, I only paid £60 for it. As Kerny says, it's great on the boat, runs on anything & fierce. I made a small mahogany table (in the Chippendale style) that fits on the bottle rack, the stove fits snugly on there & is nice & stable. I've used, unleaded, Panel wipe & gas canisters as fuel & they all work fine. Unleaded tends to soot up the innards after a while & requires a bit more maintenance. Panel wipe is available from refinisher suppliers & is the same stuff (Naptha) that stove manufacturers sell as fuel for 3x the price, panel wipe is about a tenner a gallon, although it's apparently £135 darn sarf, that's the north south divide for you
On the Diamond Jubilee Pageant I used gas canisters for the first time. We tied up alongside during the muster, got the bacon out & had bacon butties & a brew. The gas canisters are easier, cleaner, arguably safer on a boat (no liquid fuel spilling about) but cost a bit more, but not much. The only downside to the stove is it's noisy, it's basically a small jet engine & boy does it show it.

Coleman "Featherlite" Dual fuel stove, Brilliant and also runs on premix 2 stroke fuel when you run short of straight unleaded.

We take a Trangia when we're doing the Channel Islands camping.
You can get just the burner or a whole kit including kettle and pots. Trangia 25 Cookset With Kettle & Spirit Burner: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Good thing with it is you can get meths almost anywhere.
