A portable handy little one. I got it in Sound Store Waterford.  €50 I think. We've been mainly on campsites using our ACSI card. Roughly 20 a night in Spain & France. Because we're mostly on campsites we're mostly plugged in so this stove is getting some use. Even boiling our whistling kettle. I bought a gas bottle in Spain when I arrived. It's the same connection in Ireland. You can opt to buy the bottle without a return contract and it's about €20 cheaper. I won't be back in Spain so I opted for this. Repsol is a major petrol station over there. That's where I got it.     The stove will pull 8 amps if both hobs are on fully but even if you have a 6amp hook up you could have both hobs on 70% and you'd be fine on 6amps and plenty hot to cook.  That's my main tip so far. Save a bit of gas and try not change bottles too often as they are different in most countries as well as the green aspect of cooking on electricity.      All the best lads, love the show!  Dean Carroll      Grantham Leisure on TokTok for great Tips  https://www.tiktok.com/@granthamsleisure?_t=8nsbwfN16iO&_r=1       Camp life:   Inspired by a cousin of mine Philip.
