Unpack all the different surfaces from the included carry bag, pop the sturdy, removable legs onto the bottom of the stove, clip a Campingaz gas canister to the bottom and you're ready to go. The 470CV canister lasts up to 3 hours, we found the canister lasted quite a few trips, however we didn't use the Party Grill 400CV for boiling the kettle. Starting with the Party Grill 400, it runs on Campingaz R904, R907 or a standard butane or propane cylinder.

The Campingaz Party Grill 400 is a superb stove, ideal for cooking, barbecuing and offers five different cooking surfaces. Perfect for touring camping, as it packs into a smaller pack size, and comes with a convenient carry bag. While its compact size means there isn't space to make huge grilled meals at once, the Party Grill 400 is ideal for feeding four or five people. When we went camping, I could cook breakfast on this hot plate, including heating water in the kettle. If you do want something a bit roomier, a larger 600 version of the Party Grill is available and has taller legs, but is still pleasingly portable.We already showed above how you can use camping gear to create a 'day camp' for a great picnic, but don't forget you can get the camping gear out at home too. This will help provide the family with different meals when camping for a week or more, or even just an alternative to typical camping meals when staying just for a weekend.

The legs will bring the grill to stand at 42cm, which is a comfortable height to work at whilst sat on a camping chair, and the grill is 36cm - not a huge loss of space for cooking. We have shown how to cook pizzas on a Cadac, so we thought this would be a good comparison with the Campingaz Party Grill. It's designed for ovens at home, but since you can use the Campingaz Party Grill as an oven, it worked perfectly. So, in addition to using it as a large hob, BBQ, and giant griddle, it gives you the option of having a gas oven when camping.On a cold windy Spring day, we headed off for Lake Tegid (Lake Bala), the largest natural lake in Wales, and set up a little day camp. The Party Grill 400CV comes in its own carry bag, and it takes up little space, especially considering what you have. Perhaps pouring a tin of sausages and beans onto the hotplate wasn't the best of ideas, but it cooked it well.
