Hello again,

Ok, my mind has been put at rest (thank you)! in regards to keeping warm.

Question 2...

I've bought an all in one pot/pan/methylated spirit burner (gotta be able to have a cuppa and warm our beans)!

My nan has made me worry now, I know the flame can be invisible in the day - but I think I'm sensible enough to cope.

Does/has anyone used one and are they any good? Or should I return it and get one of these portable gas stoves/hob thingies?

Space is a big issue which is why I thought the all in one option would be best.

yes, they work and there's nothing to go wrong - except to run out of meths.

they are brill..... very compact, will light in most conditions (windy campsites and gas burners don't tend to mix) AND... if you're worried about meths you can get these green goo eco things www.tauntonleisure.com/products/greenheat-fuel-cell--twin-pack-/4103/?source=froogle&utm_source=prod uctfeeds&utmmedium=googleproductsfroogle
which are solid and a bit less volatile than meths....

Don't use inside the tent......I knocked ours over one cold night and we had a huge puddle of lit meths around our sleeping bags...........I was about 14 tho.......
Currently use gas, easy and quick to use......
