Yellowstone Portable Gas Stove

Absolutely no complaints here. Works exactly as expected. Only thing to point out is there is a notch on the top of the gas bottles which needs lining up before locking into place.Like the gas bottles these design of stoves are honestly all identical. Just in different colours and different stickers on them. Going for a more expensive one that is this design is just wasting money. You won't be getting a better product, they're all the same.Use your common sense, read the instructions properly. Practice setting it up and using it in the garden first. Doesn't matter if you go through a bottle of gas whilst your getting confident. The gas it cheap as chips too.

As soon as it arrived, I checked it out and loved it so much, I wanted to order another immediately. (But we were camping with 16 other people so there'd be plenty of stove tops so I didn't lol) It's brilliant because you can use any butane gas canister that can be ordered quite cheaply. We went through 2 gas canisters over the weekend but took 4 just in case.It's easy and quick to set up - literally takes seconds - and has an adjustable flame which goes from large to small - so we heated a great big pot of chilli for 15 people in no time at all, and it didn't burn the bottom because I could turn the flame down to simmer. Heated a 2 litre kettle of water in about 5 minutes.You need to buy a shield to stop the wind from blowing the flames out though and we also bought a small foldable metal fishing table to stand it on to raise it off the grass, and also so I could put it on our plastic camping table without worrying about it melting it. ('SunnCamp Small Multi Use Camping/Fishing Table - Grey' and 'Tatonka Windshield 8 Pc' ) the shield we bought is supposed to be for those little round stoves by campingaz etc but on our limited budget, it worked well for this stove, I just placed it around the back and sides.Great price this too!

I have bought a second one of these for a present after a friend saw mine. I like the safety features where the cannister disengages from the unit internally when not in use, the firm latch to engage the cannister and the ignite switch. I would imagine though these may make if difficult for thse with less dexterity than me.My friend has also found that the electric cooker rings do not heat up quite enouggh for jam making but this howevernjust gets hat bit hotter.In terms of the length of tme the gas lasts, i use mine during our regular power cuts and have replaced the cannister twice a year on average, this is using the machine about once a month for several kettles of water each time and often heating soup etc so it's not too bad and reasonably cost effective. I bought a set of four cannisters as part of the gift which should do a couple of years, but think about where you store them and the one in the unit. I happen to have a large old fridge in an outhouse and in the summer they live there, probably not necessary but keeps me from worrying!

Ordered this on the strength of the reviews for a short camping trip. Just needed something to do breakfast on really, and so this seemed to fit the purpose. When it arrived (very quickly dispatched), I immediately found the case to be broken. Upon opening it up and fitting the gas canister, I found that the ignition switch didn't work. It created a spark, but the spark didn't seem to be powerful enough to light the stove......So I tried it with a match and it worked first time.The quality seems very shoddy, and if I was going to use it regularly, I don't think I would have confidence in it's safety aspects.I contacted Amazon, who offered me a replacement - unfortunately, I couldn't wait for one, as we were going away the following day. However, I was then offered a partial refund which I accepted.So to summarise.....2 stars for the actual product, but bumped up by 1 star for the excellent Customer Service from Amazon.....

Beat the heck out of it and it kept on working perfectly, only problem was one of the more ham-fisted members of our group managed to break the little bit of plastic on the locking lever, but that didn't really matter as it was little more than an aesthetic feature.

Boils the kettle in minutes but not on cold days because the gas freezes.after a few months of use the gas valve failed so that as soon as the lever connecting the cylinder was lowered the gas came through at full pressure regardless of position of the valve. if the valve was turned to the off position the gas still came to the burner at full pressure. Very dangerous.

Bought after seeing a friends one and thinking it might be useful one day. Ended up using it all weekend after the gas connection in our caravan gave up when we went away. Brilliant size and couldn't fault it at all. We used it for everything from boiling a kettle to making tea for 5. Ended up starting on a second bottle of gas after 3 days.

FANTASTIC - Highly Recommend. So impressed with this little stove and it wasn't expensive. It is a fantastic piece of kit and packs away nicely in the case but has no room for your gas can. Used 1 can of Butane gas in one week and they cost about £7 for 4 from Amazon. A must for campers and travelling around.
