I have a ShuttleChef. I don't think they are available in the UK any more unless you pay silly money for an import. Ours must be ten years old now but the Mr D thermal cooker seems to be pretty much identical. They are all extremely expensive these days. We got ours when we had a policy of buying one piece of good quality camping kit each holiday as part of the spend to replace the junk elements. I am not sure I'd buy one at current prices.
If funds are tight it is possible to improvise an insulated container for thermal cooking. I have seen WW2 leaflets giving instructions on making a "haybox" and the Wonderbag is a fairly well known cloth version which can be copied if you sew.

Rik, I take it the stove you're talking about is the dull brass cylinder on top of the petrol stove grill?

Thats a nice little thing to have...... Whats its boil-time like?
