What - No kettle?
Advantages: Cheap, great heat conductor, light weight, great stackable system Disadvantages: Gets too hot too quickly and difficult to handle
Why a specific camping cooking kit?
As most of you are probably aware when camping it is imperative to travel light and use things that take up little space. When I go camping I try and eat out as much as possible, after all you are on holiday right?, but there are nights when I just can’t be bothered to venture out, especially after a busy day cycling, rambling or just milling about a town somewhere. Despite not having the get and go to get ... ...there’s breakfast, the most important meal of the day according to some, and whilst cereal suffices at home the lack of a fridge, and hence milk, in a tent means that tinned foods are the order of the day, and whilst I do like baked beans and spaghetti straight out of the tin there are some tinned items that need to be heated up.
However much I dislike cooking whilst camping it is a necessity and it is important to have the right kit. Camping gaz ...

Up Up and Away, With this great XGK!!
Advantages: Will burn well just about any fuel you can find to use, good at altitude. Disadvantages: Not as good looking a stove as others in the series! Keep a spares kit.
...will most certainly be an MSR stove there just for someone just like you! If however, just like little old me, you really want a go anywhere and do just about anything stove, to backpack all around this world with, then PLEASE do look no further. Your journey for finding a perfect backpackers stove is over, and you have arrived at your requested detination, right on time!!! I own two of these excellent stoves, both bought from Field and Trek, if ... ...always keep with you the MSR XGK spare parts/maintanance kit to hand for any emergencies!!!! One stove of mine is an original XGK, and the other stove is the better later XGKII improved model. The currently available model is basically the manufacturers up to date XGKII.

Faster than a household kettle.
Advantages: lightweight, hot, cheap, simple Disadvantages: gas pricey, not that stable,
A petrol stove isn't really necessary for camping/moutaineering/bike touring/backpacking in the uk. The pocket rocket is cheaper to buy, lighter, more simple to use and the gas is widely available. However, petrol probably works out cheaper than gas, especially abroad.
I really strongly advise that everyone who drives anywhere, gets a stove and a mug and small pot and a book of matches. Then, instead of spending £2 or more on a coffee in a horrible ... ...beautiful river somewhere, or in some picturesque woodland, and put up a deck chair and brew up your own drink, and enjoy your rest.
This is the ideal stove for taking on a bike tour, but for walking I would suggest not bothering with a stove at all, save the weight and eat cold food.
I raced this stove against my kettle at home once and the PocketRocket was triumphant. ...

Campingaz the perfect camping accessory.
Advantages: Lightweight and compact Disadvantages: None
I think that this product is very easy to set up and use, it is very compact but also very sturdy at the same time.
The two rings are better than one, e.g. one for kettle and the other for pot or pan and in my opinion the gas lasts for a while on this product.
I have really made home made curry on this for 6 people on this little gem.
In my opinion the four short dumpy legs on this product make for good balance and stability when cooking.
Value ...

Light weight 8 pc cooking set
Advantages: Light, Easy to use and Clean. Small storage space. Disadvantages: None
Recently bought one of these for use on a camping holiday to Holland. Its currently on sale at amazon.co.uk for £35. Its on special offer saving you £4.99 of the rrp and comes with its own carry case. The product weighs about 1kg is easily packed away for storage with your camping equipment. The whole sets packs to 26 x 12 cm area. The set is a stylish black colour with a very professional look about it. The set comes with everything you need to ... ...following pots and pans: 2 lids diameter 19 cm and 17 cm 3 pots diameter 18 cm, 16 cm and 14 cm 1 pan diameter 18 cm 1 universal handle Thats plenty for one or two persons cooking, though we managed to cook for four people. I was able to cook a good range of food as the camp site had a local shop so it wasnt a case of just boiling something in a pan. I was able to cook eggs, bacon, sausages and burgers in the pan easily. Id recommand this product ...
