£22.50
This is a handy little stove. There are a few niggles we found with it, but it does the job just fine.
PROS:
- A small lightweight stove easy to fit in your backpack for some warm food when hiking out on the hills.
CONS:
- The piezo ignition needs a few pushes to work, and the orange box it comes in isn't very good. Although it says on the box it comes with a windshield, for any wind more than a breeze, we recommend you take a separate folding windshield.
