What is this new fashion for not including instructions with anything? This is a meths burning stove. Already there is a problem. Buying meths is no fun at all. You have to pretend not to notice the suspicious looks you get fro the salespeople. OK you got over that hurdle. What the **** do you do with it? Pour it in to the cooker, light a match and just drop the lighted match in? I have had a few conflagrations in my time and I am not anxious to experiment.

If I only knew how to light the stove I would be crazy about this cooker. It is a splendid, compact design. The cooker and stand fit into the pot, which fits into the larger pot and the frying pan doubles as a lid for the pot. The frying pan is the smallest I have ever seen, just right for breakfast for one, and I have begun using it on a stove I do understand. It packs beautifully, owing to a removeable handle, which just clips on like calipers. You stash it inside when you are done. Costs around £20.

It is non-stick which is great, but seriously, how do you light it? I have looked all over the internet. No joy. I went back to Blacks where I bought it and asked the assistant . He just looked goofy. Manufacturers, do not assume we know how to use your stuff, especially when it is flammable. INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS!!!
