Camping Stoves
I hope this is the right category to ask about them as I wasn't sure but I figured 'Holidays' would include camping holidays & Equipment too???
Last year I bought 2 Camping gaz Bistro 300 stoves for £14 each intending to use them for powercuts (as we'd had a 3 day powercut the year before when it snowed) but I've never actually got round to using them yet.
I got 2 boxes of camping gaz with them (6 in each box) as I had no idea how long each small canister would last.
Firstly will they still work? I'm assuming they'll still be full if not used? ..but maybe the liquid evaporates or something??? (was planning on buying some more this week incase its needed this winter)
Secondly ..as they aren't been used in a tent. could I use them in the house on the kitchen worktop in case of a powercut? (say if had kitchen window open?)
I've never had a gas cooker myself though my mum had one when we were young and I don't remember her always having to have the door and windows open when she cooked dinner??
A family member has a large static caravan too that's got a gas cooker INSIDE and so has other people's towing caravans, so I'm not sure why it always tells you to use gas camp stoves OUTSIDE or in very well ventilated areas?
If I went out and got a gas hob and oven to replace my electric ones in the kitchen I wouldn't have to have the door and windows open every time I used them would I? I don't see what the difference is? (I'm guessing it only tells you to use them OUTSIDE cos they're assuming you're in a tent).
These are the ones I have
