Paraffin Camping Stoves

[Headgardener]

Somewhere in the garage is a paraffin stove in a large biscuit tin that belongs to my dad. He used to use it when camping with the Rover Scout troop he ran in birmingham.

<Whistful mode. Might look it out at some point. Whistful mode.>

I still use a primus (compact one, assemble out of a tin) when camping - nothing like it for boiling water fast - but flat gas stoves for frying bacon and eggs (the primus is just too hot!).

Touring on a bike, I think the smell and taint of paraffin will be a problem,and with space at a premium you won't have the option of putting all the "smelly" stuff together, away from everything else?

Often fancied a Kelly Kettle, are they any good?

If you're in the market for a wood-burning stove the Bush Cooker
is well worth considering.

Got one last birthday... have to be honest and say I haven't tried it out yet, but I will. The concept is simple, and should work a treat, methinks.
