    It just don't want to work on a cold morning, warming it up with me hands sometimes works, also wrapping it in a warm duvet.

    But sometimes I have to take it out completely and give it a damn good shaking :sad:

            That's because it's a gas bottle. Try the kettle instead. :snork:

                    @Zigs are talking about the one near the road off to Stonebarrow?
                    .
                    Change to propane, they were selling exchange cylinders at a really good price at Parkdean West Bay (comparable with the cheapest anywhere else in the country a while ago, but maybe shut for winter now), but you would need to buy an exchange cylinder from ebay for about £10 or it will cost a fortune for a new one (use 3 Calor cylinders for my greenhouse heating, used butane inside my 'motorcaravan' as too many dodgy types outside).

                      Don't want to sound ignorant Zigs but are you on a site or stuck in a layby somewhere?Would not a CL site that has a loo,shower etc,be more comfortable and cheaper?as I don't know your circumstances I can't give you advice but hate to think you are freezing cold:sad:

                        Haven't got a flask Jif :biggrin:

                        Yep, that's the one Scrunge :)

                        I'm in a field Kandy :)

                        Need to get a new hob or fix the gas leak on the one i've got, could hook some propane up then :)

                        Meantime its the old concrete block with tea lights under it, keeps the chill off :)
