If you do a quick search you can usually pick them up dirt cheap - and sometimes they come with 4 free replacement bottles....Try your local boot sale too, usually 1 or 2 traders flogging them off...I have 2, and used to have the heater version too - 4 hours of heat on full blast from 1 aerosol!

They're usually called a table top gas stove, or portable gas stove. But any kind of camping stove would do, you can even get liquid fuel ones than can be ran on diesel/paraffin etc


So long as it's not raining I use a ghillie kettle/kelly kettle for boiling water, doesn't cost anything to run and is fairly quick :)
