Most the greyhound lads use a big single gas ring. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,809 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Yeah,I was looking into that earlier this week,I'm a bit wary of a naked flame as I store a bit of paint and thinners and haven't a lot of width in the shed with freezers,and work table ,and 2 old timers of dogs sleep in there too, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got one myself, for my fried eggs. What's not to like with 'em? They just do the work. Stable as wall bricks too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hambone 948 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Don't know if this comment is any good to you (i work in industry or on sites) but the Baby Belling stoves from canteens are often 'skipped' at the end of jobs just because they are filthy and not cleaned. Two rings on them if space is not an issue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
