Spinifex Deluxe 2 Burner Camp Stove $40 + $7.99 Delivery ($0 C&C/ $99 Order) @ Anaconda

430

Was looking for a burner for our first camping trip coming up and came across this. Seems decent for the price.

The hose included is a little short and is an unregulated 3/8 BSP connection which from my cursory web search this arvo is used on small gas bottles 2kg and less. I have a 4kg has bottle with POL connection so I believe I will need an adaptor. Was planning on trying this one from Bunnings for $7.60 (https://www.bunnings.com.au/gasmate-3-8-straight-brass-gas-a…) But if there are other camping buffs out there who can help me work out what I need (particularly if I need a regulator) that would be much appreciated!

Note I was told all clearance stock in NSW has been/is being sent to the Lidcombe store which is closing down. Stock on the website said out of stock and even the staff member at Chullora said the system said there was no stock in any store but when I went to Lidcombe there were quite a few of these on the shelf.

Hope this helps someone!

    The gasmate adaptor will do the job. I got this burner 6 months ago and it's exactly what i got from Bunnings to connect to a 9kg bottle.

    If you need a smaller gas stove I highly recommend this one

    https://www.iwatani.com/35-fw

    It uses small cans, but unlike all other cheaper stoves heats them up to get a good flow. Also, construction is solid.

    We have an electrical stove at home, but use this one when cooking calls for a gas burner.

    • How much may I ask?

      • Bought mine in jan 2022 for $141.39

          • @ialam99: Doubt there's any real difference except the iwatani is a lot more expensive and has a few optional accessories.

          • +1

            @ialam99: Almost half the heat
            15,000 BTU vs ~8,500 BTU

            No canister heater, so it gets cold as it runs - the flame gets weaker as you cook. You end up with unused gas because you need to swap to a new one if you want to keep cooking.

            That said, I've been using the cheap style for years. It's okay if you work around those limitations.
            Been considering an upgrade though, worthwhile for heavy users like me.

        • the one star reviews at bunnings are a bit concerning.

        • Had a look into getting one myself… Phew, really expensive now! ~$220
          Far more than it was here only 4 months ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/751930

    • Agreed. These are much better for camping than this deals 2 burner LPG stove.

      I have a 2 burner LPG stove that hasn't seen daylight for more than a decade because single burner butane stoves and a Kmart version of a jet boil cover all bases and are much more compact, easier to use, and cheap to run. LPG camp stoves have been superseded by much better alternatives, hence their cheap price.

      • +1

        There’s a relatively massive price difference too

        • https://www.bcf.com.au/p/gasmate-travelmate-deluxe-ii-butane…

          Same thing, different brand, same price as dual gas burner. Just need to DIY a wind shield. Much easier to store, use and no need to carry a bulky LPG bottle that's less convenient to fill.

            @frugalferret: 8500 BTU is not great

          • @frugalferret: Whats the heat adjustment like? I had a gasmate (just not this model) and it only had one temperature… maximum. I want something where low is low and high is high. Thanks in advance.

        • Mate they're even cheaper. $35 at bunnings or kmart

    • Where did you buy it ?

      Also do you happen to know if the canisters at KMart will fit them or do you have to buy the canisters from the same company ?

      • +2

        Amazon. Yes the canisters all standard, I buy from Bunnings 4 for $6

    • I've had a few cheaper ones of this variety. The problem I have with all so far is they only offer one temperature… maximum, which is always too hot.

      Can I ask, hows the adjustment on theses ones?

      • I got one from bunnings for $35 and it works great. Can adjust flame up and down like a regular gas stove

      • +1

        You can adjust the temperature by holding the pan away from the flame 🔥😂😅
        But seriously, that’s one of the reasons I’m no longer using this and opted for the double burner

    • Dem Double Wind Breaker!

      Not the lowest price tag though.

    • How can you cook a call?

    • +1

      Iwatani is best of the best but it so worth it.

    • Ivehad the $40 kmart version of this and had no issues cooking anything. I have used it 30+ times

  • Thanks OP. Incidentally I saw this a few days ago as I’m looking for one but passed on it because of online comments on regulators. Your post made it understandable. So I pulled the trigger lol
    Local store has stock - last one!!!. Hopefully they’ll honour it

  • I was looking at getting something like this to make a slow cooked beef stock, problem is I need it to run on a small flame for approx. 12 hours.

    How much running time do these get from the canisters available for them?

    • Specs say 700gm an hour. So hook it up to a 9kg gas bottle and you're in luck.
      But not the cheapest way to be heating I reckon.

  • +1

    Butane stoves are easier and they work well.

    • +1

      They work just ok, not great. I've used both and the tinny "stoves" with the screw in gas the size of fly spray cans are not as hot and struggle to maintain that lesser heat in a breeze, and the gas is several times the price of the small dark green steel bottles these can be run from, or many times the price of a 4.5 or 9kg BBQ bottle. I worked it out once and I think they were something like 14 times more expensive than a 9kg bottle. Besides, this is for outside camping whereas the screw in type are for sheltered or even inside use. You can also buy a cast iron plate that sits on this which makes it cooks must faster than even a full sized backyard 4 burner BBQ.

      • +1

        Agreed you are not going to get the flame as powerful from the butane stoves. But it's much more convenient for a camping trip to take a few cans of butane that click in than carry a 9kg bottle and hoses.

        • I do long camping trips and prefer the cylinder over canisters.
          It’s also environmentally friendlier. At least I think it might be 😅

        • I use an 8.5kg but there's also 4kg https://www.bunnings.com.au/gasmate-camping-lpg-gas-cylinder… and green companion type ones that are smaller again https://www.bunnings.com.au/companion-468g-resealable-propan…. The hose is a non-issue really given it just screws in the same as the flyspray sized cans do. Buy the right fitting and you can refill all of these smaller ones from a 8.5kg and leave that at home. (Videos on youtube but ignore any that say put the empty bottles in the freezer. What a waste of time trying to get a tiny bit more gas in, given even the small companion types will last a few cooking sessions.)

          A cast iron plate really makes these great. I got both free off the side of the road and just had to buy a fitting to connect the 8.5kg BBQ bottle to the stove. The plate heats up much faster than a home BBQ. I thought dealing with the cast plate would be a pain waiting for it to cool down and clean but I was wrong. It cools much faster than I thought it would probably due to air circulating around it while sitting on the wire rack of the stove. It's barely warm by the time I've finished eating. And I just slip it into a plastic bag so there's no grease to deal with and don't even need to "clean" it. Just scrape it off while still hot and before putting food on, because you're no longer cooking on a useless electric council BBQ health hazard that doesn't gets hot enough to kill the germs of vermin and feral kids crawling over it giving you food poisoning. (I've seen teenage boys standing over and peeing on public BBQs, rats, cockroaches, seagulls dropping their load on the plate… ugh disgusting!)

    IMO the two burners are too close to be used at the same time unless you use small pot/pan

    • +1

      I've got a cast iron plate that sits on top. Turns it Into a mini bbq so Is far more functional for camp cooking at least to me.
      Easy bacon and eggs and sausages.

      • I do the same thing! Works great.

      • Same, but my plate is an upside down lid of a cast iron camp oven that has grill lines. Brilliant.

    • Agree it looks pretty tight. Probably not a dealbreaker though.

  • +1

    What's the regular price?

    • +3

      Tag said $70 from memory

  • I have a Coleman version of this together with a cast iron plate. It heats up in a 1/4 of the time and cooks 2/3 faster than a typical 4 burner gas BBQ. I use it in public parks instead of those useless public electric BBQs that don't get hot enough, keep switching off just as they do begin to get hot, take at least 40 minutes to cook a simple sausage, and have cockroach, rat, seagull, and empty-headed teenage boys crap and piss all over them.

  • Can I do steamboat at home with this..? 🤣

  • Op, that adapter will work fine (I use one for my similar stove). No regulator needed.

    Maybe get the right angle version though and point it up as it probably works better with the short hose.

  • Good buy for school camps?

    • I’d say yes. Especially if using it for a longer caping period and need more gas than a few canisters

    • Depends on what type of food and whether you mean one or a tent of kids cooking their own, or a teacher trying to cook for 20. I have cooked for 5 using the cast iron plate on top you can get for these. That's just a piece of meat for each person added to separate salad stuff (that doesn't need cooking) and some bread. The burners are pretty close together. So without the cast iron plate you could only heat two of the smallest saucepans you could find at one time. That's probably enough baked beans or cans of braised steak and veg for say 6 people. But if you add the cast iron plate you could either heat two larger saucepans (more surface area) or a large wide baking tray sitting the plate to make enough for about 10-12 people. In other words, for a group you'd probably be better off the typical large cast iron plate hanging from a tripod over an oven fire… otherwise with this alone you're going to have to cook in several sessions, or have each tent of kids cook their own so one person isn't doing the whole lot. Even with the cast iron plate, you're only going to cook say two large rump steaks, or maybe 6 lamb chops.
