VANGO Compact Gas Stove

A great compact stove. heats a kettle in 2 and a half mins, even stays alight in strong winds, ideal for fishing and camping

Nice little thing

For 10 quid this is great. Light and simple. I have had one of these for years and used it well. It's better not to use it with large gas cylinders if you are on unstable ground and keep it sheltered as the wind can affect it a lot. But its 10 quid and I have had another one of these for about 15 years!!!

Good product and does what i needed

As Above

Good quality and compact gas stove. I was not sure what to expect due to the low price, but it was very well made, worked as expected, and fitted the gas canister nicely. Excellent value for money overall. I managed to boil around 700ml of water in 6 mins on low heat, so it should easily boil 1L in under 5 mins at a higher setting.

good quality. good price.

This stove is a beast and can catch you out the first time you use it. Rated at 3.2kW, which I can well believe, you can burn the food if care is not taken, especially as the flame is quite localised in the centre of the pot. Water can be left with minimum attention and boils very quickly but stews, for instance, need to be stirred frequently. Having said that, it is very small and light which was my main reason for buying it (a trade off I suppose) and after a bit of practice it has served me well.

I've used this on all of my dofe expeditions and they have worked very well, even when it was snowing it was able to boil water in a matter of minutes
