Any reviews or thoughts? I like the toaster in the middle.

i emailed them last night and their answer was
"Many thanks for your recent enquiry- I'm afraid that it would not be worthwhile shipping this to the US due to the weight- the carriage would be more than the cost of the stove.

Kindest Regards,

James"

Those stoves look bulky to me. I just switched to a msr micro rocket. I can almost hide it in a closed fist not counting the canister. I used to use a coleman white gas stove but realized I never used more than one burner at a time.

I'm building one into a camper soon. I like the idea of it being semi-permanent, so size doesn't matter. Weight either.

These seem to be a wholely UK item. (The Brits DO love their toast). I'd love to hear from them about how they like them, and how useful they are.

I have the Kampa Alfresco, which is the same as the one in the OP's post, and chose it for capacity, compactness, and portability.

Here in the UK, the preferred configuration seems to be twin burner and grill, and this type ticks all the right boxes.

Thanks for the input. How often do you use the grill underneath? I'd think it would be really handy for all kinds of cooking, where you'd want brown and crispy, but no fried. Yours looks wide enough to make two slices of toast at a time for breakfast, too.

I think it'd be perfect for bagels, also, where you want the cut face crunchy, but the bottom soft.
