Hi.
I’ve got a Chinese stove, which is great but too noisy.
Looking for a small gas stove - requirements are:
Small pack size
Stable
Good control
Quiet
I don’t need one that will boil a kettle in 15 seconds but I do cook all meals for a 3 week holiday so needs good simmering control. It will be used in nice weather - hopefully
Thanks for any suggestions

Re: Quiet stove
Get yourself a Trangia, best stove out there. If it's just for you get a 27, for 2 or more a 25. If you need an additional ring just add a Trangia Triangle or 28 (the stoves get smaller as the number increases but all use the same burner).
Meths is far easier to cook on as a low heat is easily achievable.
There's loads on You Tube about them.

Re: Quiet stove
I've used one of these for years, you get two pots to cook in and the burner stores inside the pots so it all packs away neatly

Re: Quiet stove
I'll second that Bob, great stoves, had mine well over 15 years now, packs down nice and small, and you can get the gas everywhere.boboneleg wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 11:23 am I've used one of these for years, you get two pots to cook in and the burner stores inside the pots so it all packs away neatly

Re: Quiet stove
I've had this one for years.
Packs nice and small, cooks well and boils a kettle pretty quick

There are some Chinese knock offs for half the price but I couldn't testify as to how good they are

Re: Quiet stove
Noise isn’t something I’ve bothered much about. I’ve always used coleman petrol stoves.

Re: Quiet stove
I love my Coleman dual fuel stove. It runs a bit dirty at altitude with unleaded fuel but i carry a Sigg fuel bottle and a syphon tube to get fuel out of my bike fuel tank if i run out. Parts are easily available like generator tube and pump seal etc if you do need to rebuild it. It is not particularly quiet but i can,t think of any other model i would rather have.

Re: Quiet stove
Thanks for the replies so far- please keep them coming.
I’ve got a Coleman multi fuel stove.
I used a Camping Gaz stove for many years and still have it in the loft.
I like the look of the Vango - but is it quiet??
It will be used on campsites to cook all meals for 2 people - I like cooking and I like eating so I prefer a cooker which sits on the ground for stability, we are sometimes in a group and need to cook a big pot of rice or stew etc.
I want a gas stove for ease - I’ll buy 2 big canisters, put them in the kitchen bag and that’s done for a 3 week trip.
Again my main concern is noise. We’ve just come back from a few days away and my current stove is so noisy that after an hour of cooking our ears we’re ringing - I had to have the cooker on low so not to disturb the neighbours. We will often pack up in the morning early but want a coffee - I just can’t have a jet engine going at 6am
Anyway, I’m sure you’re not interested in my holiday life but thanks for any suggestions of a quiet stove
