Title: 3 burner cookers.
Post by: edz on March 30, 2012, 09:16:17 AM

Hi all .
Does any one know of a brand of  3 burner portable cooker that you can actualy fit a 30 cm + frying pan and two reasonable size sauspans on at the same time ???? that would have the burners under the center of each thing to be heated .
 Beginning to think I might have to make my own cooker .

Hi,

What I tend to use is a two (2) burner stove and I also carry one of the $20 portable single burner stoves to use if I need it. Most of the time I use a camp oven so mostly I only need a one or two burner stoves.

Works for me but not sure if this helps in your circumstances though.

Regards,
David

Most are made for 2cm pans..

I went thru same problem as you tryin to get one to fit the trailer kitchen..

My suggestion is a 2 burner, and a single burner might be your only option..

We have a great 3 burner from Big W, but it may not be big enough to get 2 saucepans on as well.

Thanks all,
 Just trying to cut down on a bit of gear is all, currently using two, two burners and two 4 kg bottles and associated stands ... Figured one good 3 burner and stand,with a  bbq plate to go on if needed + one gas bottle is all that I need .
Might be time to bend up some zinc aneal and crack out the welder ..

I have one :-)  Well as close as you can get, I think.  It's a coleman guide series one (5428 I think) - they don't make them anymore.
It's the same size as the large 3-burner dual-fuel cookers that you can get (although haven't seen them around much lately - perhaps they don't make them either).
We love ours and hope it lasts a long time.  It'll fit a good size fry-pan and 2 full-sized billies or medium sized saucepans.
It's not small though - so 2 of the smaller 2-burner stoves might take up a similar total packing space.

Hi edz,

To get the space/separation you need, easiest way might be to get 3 of these:

They're not very expensive. If you want to run all 3 at the one time, you'll need to get a gas hose with a few t-pieces in it. That shouldn't be too much of a problem either. Best thing is if you only need one burner for a quick stop, then only get one out of the box. Not as fancy as a fully-integrated stove, but as the other have said, they're not without their issues either.

Good luck!
Matto :)

Hi Matto,
We've been looking getting one of those, we find the two burning in the Swan isn't big enough to use a pan + a sauce pan, the two burner coleman isn't big enough as well, even for a big fry pan.
Might grab one of the ring burners.
