Stoves

There are several options open to you when looking for a stove, each has there own benifits and disadvantages. The simplest stove choice is the Methlated Spirits stove, simply a burner pot that you fill with spirits and light. Almost no maintainance required and suitable for scout and school groups where safety is of paramount concern. However these stoves do have a significantly slower boil time than their rivals but are very cheap to run. We stove the full range of Trangia stoves, the best spirit stoves on the market today in both the large 25 size and smaller 27 size. the beauty of the Trangia stove is that it comes complete with a cookset, windshield and pan handler so you can cook with it straight from the pack without any extras. We stock the full range of Trangia spares as well should you need a replacement pan or a new strap or rubber O ring for the burner lid.

If you want a much quicker cook time or something that packs down a little smaller, you will most likely be considering a gas stove. We stock a wide range of gas stoves including the MSR pocket rocket and Superfly stoves as well as the Karrimor range of Trek stoves and introducing the *brand new* Jetboil stove from the states. An insulated cup and stove unit, the jetboil works of a standard screw top gas canister to deliver an amazingly quick boil time and thanks to its heat diffuser is incredibly efficient as well so your gas canister stretches further!

The final choice is a petrol burning stove, long the staple unit of expeditions thanks to the availability of petroleum products no matter where you are around the globe. Boiling times are approximately the same as that for gas stoves and petrol stoves pack down to a reasonably small size for easier storage. We stock the full range of MSR petrol stoves including the Whisperlite International and the Dragonfly and also the Optimus range of petrol stoves including the Omnifuel which can even be used with gas cylinders for truely versatile use.
