I'd like to use it to make a brew a few times a day, as well as cooking breakfast and dinner.
Ideally I'd like to do a fry up English breakfast in the morning and another meal in the evening.
Can anyone confirm if the stove is up to the job or not? Good choice?
How do you store fresh food like sausages, bacon and eggs? Coldbag good for a couple of days? I'd rather not have to go to civilisation everyday as it's at odds with the wild camping live simply adventure theme.
Any suggestions for nice meals I can cook in the evening which can be done practically on just the one burner?
I know I can survive on freeze dried or boil in the bag but where's the fun in that?!

I've bought one of those Coleman stoves, so I hope they are good. I've boiled a pan of water ok so far :lol
Food wise I'm going to take salt, pepper, dried mixed herbs, then buy every day or 2. Otherwise you could end up carting around loads of heavy bulky foodstuffs.
I did a 3 week windsurfing trip to Sardinia a few years ago. I slept in my van. I had a cooler box plugged into the fag lighter slot but that only works with the engine going. Thinks like butter, milk etc lasts 1 day before going off or melting.
I think rice probably has the best calorie to cc ratio. At a push, rice + cup-a-soup = risotto
