Thread: All about gas stoves.

years back I bought a spider type gas cooker...its sstill going strong now...I see the type is now being made again...simple frame to hold simple gas head,with flexi rubber hose about 12" long to attach to screw in canister with threaded top...beauty of this system is that on a cold day or at high altitude you can place the canister close to heat and give it a bit of a boost....always thought it would be a real Mcgyver get out of jail card to sit canister ontop and run like hell before it blew up... used this for yearsand the only time it let me down was when it got soaked with rain overnight...took gas head apart and blew gauze out ,reassembled and it went fine....sometimes simple is good....I commented on this to wife the other night when watching the Duleys show......we have almost gone full circle...fire n billy...white spirits...single use gas canisters...screw on gas canisters...white spirit stoves and now back to canisters LOL. hexi cookers fit in there somewhere between fire and gas canisters and the beer can cooker rage close to end....some cheap buggas like myself never gave up on them.
