In reply to Neil Williams:
> It really is very difficult to beat the more expensive Foker branded cast iron ones. They are the only ones I've come across that will give you the same amount of heat as a domestic gas hob. We have them for our Scout Group and they are great.
> One thing though, you will probably want to switch to Calor (larger bottles and cheaper) as they use rather a lot of gas.
> As to what's *compatible* with what, with the correct regulator you can use either Gaz or Calor with near enough any butane stove.
and with the correct regulator you can use the (red ) propane bottles, better in cold weather.
Also available are self filling bottles you can top up yourself with Autogas, cheaper again in the long run. A few extra regulations on this option.
