Don't use a large frying pan on the single ring cas stoves with the canister in the side, they tend to overheat the canister and explode on you, stick with a pan that doesn't cover the canister area.

Save the planet, it's the only one with beer!

Considering the high probability that many branded stoves are made in China anyway, I’d say it’d be worth a punt. 
 

I’m don’t really understand why a lot of folk have a downer on Chinese goods these days (recipes involving bat notwithstanding!). The fact is that they are now the manufacturing engine room of the world. I guess the same suspicion was prevalent in the 60’s and 70’s with the rise of Japanese manufacturing - motorcycles, electronics, etc. 

Back on stove related business (well, fuel preparation really), I’ve just bought a Fiskars X7 hatchet for camp fire duties.  :)  It’s replacing an oldish unbranded thing I got from Screwfix that’s a bugger to sharpen and won’t hold an edge. The X7 is a lovely bit of kit - made in Finland (!) - and a quarter of the cost of the Gransfor Bruks hatchet I was eyeing up! Should do for a bit of hedge-laying next winter too  :good:
