Forget 12v. I prefer the old fashioned stoves, such as
Optimus, Primus etc, but the Coleman twin fuel (Petrol) has
to win for efficiency and ability to find fuel easily, since
I don't like propane/butane appliances (old fashioned).

We went on a picnic this weekend and I took an old Brexton
picnic hamper with china cups, saucers, plates etc, and old
Optimus stove and we had strawberries and clotted cream,
sarnies, black pudding and a pot of tea - we're English.

In the past I've taken the hamper and my old silver flambe
lamp (Methylated spirits) and a Gingham check tablecloth.
