Any recommendations for a camping stove stand?

I think that's what they're called?

We bought a cupboard type thing last year which we put the stove on top of but it was a right old faff moving it in and out the tent all the time, as we used it for cooking and storage. So I think we're after something just to stand the stove on that could be kept outside (though easy to move if bucketing down). The stove is the campinggaz two ring burner with the grill underneath if that helps.

We got a great camping kitchen unit from Argos years ago that is still doing well, but can't see any the same on googling.
The Kampa kitchen units are good, ours had shelves on both sides of the main bit that the cooker sits on, and one underneath so lots of storage and places to stack food and utensils whilst cooking, and we leave it outside all the time in all weathers (DH stakes it down in wind)

We have an old Hago stand (we have had it for ages but apparently they are the in thing these days). You can find them on e-bay.

We sprayed ours with hammerite. Very sturdy, last forever and fold down to nothing, I will try to find a photo.

This sort of thing:

Ours now looks like this. We split ours as you can see, one for the cooker and the other bit for storage (to the right). We made an oak 'worktop' out of some floorboards a couple of years back and used the same stuff that we used on our kitchen worktops on it. Works a treat.

I'm coveting this. It's not on sale yet so have time to work on DH.

Thank you for the replies. I love that retro one and what you've done to yours lavender sun. DH didn't seem keen on the Orange version!

That new outwell one looks fab. Wonder how that would be left out in all weather's? I do like storage and it looks so neat and tidySmile

Hmm, good point. The canvas cupboards probably wouldn't withstand much. Although looks quite easy to fold up and bring in the tent if needed. I like the idea of it doubling up as extra table space as our picnic table is fairly compact.

We have a version of that kitchen from Obelink HolyDrinker. Ours does get left out at night quite often and there has been a bit of lifting of one of the corners of the formica - a bit of bubbling really, where some water obviously got in. The cupboards haven't really leaked funny enough but I imagine with driving rain they would eventually. We tend not to put things in them which cannot dry out - so no bags of sugar or flour say. We do store food in plastic though and utensils, pots etc.

Ideally, I think it would be better kept under cover, at least under a tarp or event shelter.
