Proflex Burner

Advantages: Small, Compact, Lightweight, Affordable.
Disadvantages: Get's a bit hot when cooking.

...be to touch. The Adventure Cookset can be purchased with or without the burner. With the burner the set costs £19.99, without it costs £14.99. Both available through millets at these prices. Which I think is a bargain! If you want to use the cookset as a means of cooking, you definitely need to purchase the set with the burner. However if you are looking to purchase extra cookware for your camping holidays and want it cheaply then the set without the burner is a cheap way of doing this. Once all of the pots and pans have been removed from themselves, the set fits together very easily. The base with the air holes in is placed on the floor. This has a large diameter so gives a stable surface on which to cook. The windsheild then slots on to this to protect the burner from the wind. The burner itself sits in the centre of the base.

Advantages: Compact, Easy to Clean, Very Portable, Healthy
Disadvantages: Single burner only

...Now this is a clever idea ! If you are into camping and looking for a compact device to take with you that will save you some washing up and having to carry some pans then this is ideal.

You can also Saute mushrooms, potatoes etc and comfortably fry an egg - as well as boil a kettle, warm up your stew or whatever else you are eating. How does is work I here you ask. Well, Its basically a normal camping burner, fuelled by V470 or V270 canisters. The design of it means that the burner sits in a shallow metal bowl and can be used as you would use any other camping burner - then comes... Read review
