A portable handy little one. I got it in Sound Store Waterford.  €50 I think. We&#39;ve been mainly on campsites using our ACSI card. Roughly 20 a night in Spain &amp; France. Because we&#39;re mostly on campsites we&#39;re mostly plugged in so this stove is getting some use. Even boiling our whistling kettle. I bought a gas bottle in Spain when I arrived. It&#39;s the same connection in Ireland. You can opt to buy the bottle without a return contract and it&#39;s about €20 cheaper. I won&#39;t be back in Spain so I opted for this. Repsol is a major petrol station over there. That&#39;s where I got it.  </p> <p> </p> <p>The stove will pull 8 amps if both hobs are on fully but even if you have a 6amp hook up you could have both hobs on 70% and you&#39;d be fine on 6amps and plenty hot to cook.  That&#39;s my main tip so far. Save a bit of gas and try not change bottles too often as they are different in most countries as well as the green aspect of cooking on electricity.   </p> <p> </p> <p>All the best lads, love the show! </p> <p>Dean Carroll </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Grantham Leisure on TokTok for great Tips </p> <p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@granthamsleisure?_t=8nsbwfN16iO&_r=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/@granthamsleisure?_t=8nsbwfN16iO&amp;_r=1</a>  </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Camp life:  </p> <p>Inspired by a cousin of mine Philip.
