- The original video review I did of this has had over 10k views and I still get asked about it ..so 3 yrs on heres my thoughts on it..it has pros and cons..but is it the stove for you ??? find out in this video atb jj
👍👍👍
I agree with you .. a great bit of kit.
I have mine since the mid-70's and still use it regularly. It is the original 'wire clips and canister screw-on' model. It has a built-in wind shield and the pot supports are adjustable (and removable) to cater for small diameter pots and storage.
The Burner Head and Pot Supports are removable for easier storage. I store and transport mine in a rectangular Toiletry Bag which if need be, can be hung on the outside of my pack. In the Bag .. Gas Camister (installed), Burner Head, Pot Supports, Folding Base Stand, Pot Holder, Cloth and Butane Lighter.
Here in Switzerland, I can get replacement Gas Cartridges at Decathlon, my local Migros Supermarket just down the road and a host of other places.
Cost. Price per gram of Gas is less than other Gas Burner Systems and the Burner is pretty economical. Caveat .. I have never had the need to run my Unit on full power (which wastes an inordinate amount of gas .. heat running away and up the sides of the pot). A lower setting still boils water in not that much longer while using far less gas to do so.
I still see no need to get myself one of the more modern, compact (and expensive) Gas Cookers. My Camping Gaz Bluet 206 still does the job and I, as a 'Boomer' (YOB 1950), was raised as not to allow it's perceived idiosyncracies to get in the way 😏.
Hey bud have one of these 20 years and it still hasn't let me down, the one I have is a model which is older than yours, can't beat it, thanks for sharing
Having used various models of this system myself for many a year I can see why others like your goodself still keep using it ..thanks for watching atb jj
I'm still annoyed that Campingaz discontinued the CV270 bottle as that was a perfect size and sat a bit lower to the ground.
Same here my friend that made no sense at all really luckily I brought a bulk lot of them so that will see me right for some time atb jj
No point getting annoyed, nothing will change
Looks like you can purify a lot of water with this unit... Thanks again for sharing your review with our group!!! Last year, a Bushcrafting buddy of mine gave me a similar piece of equipment as a gift, and I still haven't tested it... Your video just motivated me to try it...
My pleasure my friend no worries ..theres always something to test and try out just sometimes we forget about all the kit we have lol..atb jj
Hello JJ. Bullhornbeach mentioned you in a video today so I peeked at your channel. I've enjoyed it thus far. I've subscribed.
Het my friend thats very kind of you my friend appreciate that 🙏
Great advice JJ. I have a wee place in France all they sell over there is camping gas stuff. Solid and reliable. I bought a cheap Lixada burner, it’s bulky too. I like the attachment system if you don’t use all your gas. Some of the older campinggaz don’t have that. Nice one 👌
No the older ones you had to leave connected and use all the gas but thankfully the newer click fast system is able to be taken on and off which is much better thanks for watching atb jj
Awesome that you're doing a review after 3yrs. So many people give a review out of the box, like really?
I might do first look /impressions from time to time but I do like to return to kit I've previously reviewed a couple of yrs later to see if my mind has changed ..gives people a better understanding of the item atb jj
Great bits of kit and worth there weight in gold for long lasting item that if treated right and looked after will last a lifetime nice one mate
Your right there my friend completely agree with you on that 👏thanks for watching atb jj
My first stove at 16yrs old was a Camping Gaz. (Some 42years ago)I have a soft spot for them also.
Me too my friend I think I've been using variants of this stove for over 35 yrs atb jj
I remember you having the first 1 at te bushcraft show lol. I must invest in those 300 canisters.
Hahaha oh yes mate I remusing that at the show..tried and tested mate eh thanks for watching atb jj
I enjoyed it, JJ! Thanks for uploading!
Thankyou my friend appreciate that 🙏 atb jj
That's a really useful review, thanks for doing it. Have subscribed 👍🙂
Thankyou my friend appreciate that and thanks for watching atb jj
Hi JJ another downside, although a small one!! Is the gaz knob is back to front, nearly all modern stoves, regardless of make, you turn it right to turn down/off and left to get your brew faster, but the French............buff said! Stay safe my friend, regards Clive from deepest Dorset. ps another great video, thank you👍
I've always used this stove and never given that much thought or noticed it tbh ...but now you mention it..ohh yeah ..still it does a great job...thanks for watching atb jj
Hi JJ love your videos, found your channel a few days ago and been watching a whole bunch. Can I ask what make/model/size is that little cup that fits the gas can into? I like the idea of keeping the gas can in the mug.
Hey my friend sorry for the late reply I took a month off from youtube ..the cup is the tbs Billy canteen from the bushcraft store ..I have reviewed it on here a while back and its perfect glad your enjoying the vids
i just got the mini. great little piece of kit for when conditions change and i cant use my firebox
Always worth as a back up my friend and works a treat
These are good cookers but I did not like this design because the top that holds the stove does not lock into place and now mine keeps moving when I put a frying pan on it.
Never had that problem.with it tbh and always found it to be really secure
Nice video.
Thankyou atb jj
Can you twist of the head unit and store the gas can safely in your backpack once it’s been used?
Yes you can its designed and made to be carried safely that way
Thankyou for review! Practical tips! Im torn between this kind and the vango low ground side pipe stove. Tjink will go with the latter fkr now. What steel flask have you got!? Thanks again. Peace
If you click on my play lists on on cooking side ..I think .. ive also done a review in the vango folding stove ..in my opithe vango is the better of the two systems but you still have to give this its dies its a great stove
@@JJ_OUTDOORS yes I came across the Vango one first as looked the stove up on purpose before buying it on GO. Your clip came up ! Was really helpful thankyou. Decided on it in the end so bought it!
@@yvemarybmusic that's great too hear my friend 😊
Great vid jj , can you get an adapter so click turn can use cp250 ? (maybe a stupid question 🙂)
Hi zingo first of all thanks for watching glad you enjoyed...tbh I don't think that's an option from what I can gather which is a shame atb jj
@@JJ_OUTDOORS thanks jj, i am going out to buy a couple of twister burners today.thanks for tips 🙂
@@zingo2664 no worries my friend thats cool
is there any smaller canisters compatible with old easy click, (snap down screw in) can't find any clear info on what to buy,
Yeah you should be still able to get them at most places that stock camping gaz
Hey JJ.... Where can this be purchased?
Pretty much anywhere my friend ..decathlon..go outdoors..millets
Lol
