Thanks Robin - good idea

Do you know if Jock connects the stove to the bottle while it is mounted on the back, or just carry it there?

Many thanks, Dormy I will enjoy the blue flame while I wait patiently for my cup of tea. Also, I am not planning to leave the gas bottle connected all the time, under the drivers seat - too many rules about that sort of thing over here.

Cheers

Roger

Congratulations Gary!

Thanks for the replies

Will give it a try
