Acuired a Wild Woodgas Stove MK II. Expensive to buy new, but very lightweight and compact. Mine lives in my rucksack.

Just looked at this and did a search and found it on http://wildstoves.co.uk/wood-cooking-st ... gas-stove/ and watched the Youtube video about it. Very impressive and makes it a very efficient to use as an emergency cooker in times of crisis - especially with the cost of gas continually going up. This is going onto my list of requirements to save for! Thanks for the info.

You may wish to check out Wood-gas stoves on the Web. These are incredibly efficient and light-weight. Ideal for a BOB. The Wildwood stove is made in the UK and a lot cheaper than the American Crisis Cooker. Have look at this. http://wildstoves.co.uk/wood-cooking-st ... gas-stove/

Another (slightly balmy point), I sometimes run my cooker on wood cat litter pellets. I had to make a grate with smaller holes to stop the pellets falling through, but they burn for ages and throw off some heat.

I like the look of the bio lite camp stove, if maybe a little small.
