My wife and I are reworking our emergency go bag/camping kit, and realised that our old stove is a busted PoS. Any recommendations for a reliable but affordable camping stove would be really appreciated. We're in the UK ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

Not from the UK but I've got an MSR pocket rocket 2 that runs on isobutane, the little red cannisters. I've used it camping for many years before putting it in my go bag. Simple, light, and cheap. You are stuck using the cannisters tho so stock up a few.

    Second this, this style of stove was my first thought.

    They're definitely more of a "boil water fast" stove than an all purpose cooker. But you can cook on them with some practice. Cheap as chips too, maybe not the pocket rocket, but definitely the BRS 3000, that things only like $15.

    The canisters aren't super cheap, but, not that bad. And you can get a converter to run them off the tall butane cans you can find at the Asian food store for like $2 a piece, at least around me you can.

    You may also want to consider the MSR Whisperlite if this is also an emergency tool. That model supports canister fuel, white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline to give you some more options in a pinch.
