This is a basic camping stove that just gets on with the job and doesn’t bother with the frills. Its clean, simple design is easy to fathom, you get a decent burner that kicks out plenty of heat, it’s small and light and comes with a carry box containing a ‘stove first aid kit’

The whole caboodle burns a canister over an astonishing 2 hours 5 minutes. You’d feel cheeky asking for this much on far more expensive stoves, and yet there’s even more – with an adaptor, it burns the common Campingaz canisters found in bountiful supply all over Europe.

There’s a 3 year guarantee.

The Trail Classic is a complete and utter no-brainer.

The pan supports feel a touch flimsy and can be bent out of shape (they can be bent back again, mind!)

The flame control is not as accurate as on more expensive stoves. Still, these are minor niggles.
