Reddit reviews M.V. Trading Deluxe Portable Gas Butane Stove with Free Case

I concur, I camp twice a year or so and I have two different ones. One is lightweight for backpacking and back country camping. The other (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OC0AWW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is a more like what you described. It's easy to use and the gas is cheap. I took it back country camping once and it was too bulky to be efficient weight wise, but I use it for car camping pretty much just to boil water for coffee/eggs/whatever. It happened to rain on that trip and we were forced to heat water for our emergency freeze-dried food and had to use it inside the tent. Thus I can confirm that even in tight spaces this product is safe to use indoors.

Coil ovens and portable burners are not common where I'm from. We have always used gas to get the coals going. You should just buy youself a camping stove like this. The butane/propane mix is super cheap and coals light pretty fast.

If you want to light them faster, more like with the torch, get one like this. To make it easier you can go to your local hardware store and grab some chickenwire. If you cut it into a 20x20cm sqaure, it gives a pretty good pad for the coals to sit on.

Skip that foolishness and get a real one that runs off the mains: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LU2HXRK/

If power is a problem, get a portable butane stove and a pan to cook with: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OC0AWW/ This uses a standard 8oz butane can.

For the sake of keeping the peace in your office, I recommend cooking that in the break room.

Might I suggest getting a small butane burner like this: http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Portable-Butane-Stove-Free/dp/B000OC0AWW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1463643750&sr=8-2&keywords=butane+stove
The last time I went camping with a lady friend we had gnocchi with sausage alfredo sauce, green beans and mashed potatoes which was all prepared with boiling and 1 pot. She's agreed to come on another trip as long as meals stay at this level.

Warning: please only cook this outdoors, it will smoke up your house

Ingredients:

8oz (225g) Tilapia

A lot of Cajun Seasoning

12 Spears (12 metric spears) Asparagus

2 (30ml) tbsp Butter

1/2 (7.5ml) tbsp Olive Oil

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Equipment:

Gas Stove $23 on Amazon

Cast Iron Pan $24 on Amazon

Cookie Sheet

Hot pad

Lack of Fear

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
   
2. Wash and pat dry asparagus and cut off the ends that taste gross and are fibery
   
3. Pile up the asparagus on the cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil
   
4. Salt and pepper the asparagus while rolling it around in olive oil
   
5. Melt butter in the microwave in a measuring cup
   
6. Go outside and place your pan on top of the camp stove and crank it up all the way, this sucker needs to be hotter than hell itself, let it preheat for ten minutes (It's scary the first time, I didn't kill myself, you won't either)
   
7. Immediately after turning the stove on run back inside and throw your asparagus in the oven, these little bastards are going to cook for ~12 minutes. If you bought thin asparagus wait 5-7 minutes before putting them in the oven and subtract that from cooking time
   
8. Drizzle your fillets with the butter, coat both sides of each fillet and leave about half the butter still melted in the measuring cup
   
9. Coat both sides in the cajun seasoning, make sure to do it to your taste. I completely smother it
   
10. After the pan is done preheating ~10 minutes head outside and lay the fish in the pan, make sure to lay them away from you!
    
11. Those things should be smoking like snoop lion
    
12. Drizzle some more butter on top of the fillet as it is cooking
    
13. After about 1.5-2 minutes you will see the fish begin to pull away from the pan. Flip it
    
14. Drizzle the remaining butter over the fish
    
15. After about 1.5 minutes on this side your fish should be done. Try cutting through the thickest part with your spatula, it should be a bit flaky and cooked all the way through
    
16. Take the fish off and run inside and pull out the asparagus praying you didn't burn it
    
17. Eat like a god
    
    
    This is all written from memory, criticism is appreciated.
    
    Final tip; If you don't care about macros and calories (cheat days, end of a cut, etc) make this with cat fish and instead of asparagus, french fries and cole slaw.
    
    

When I was a college student living in a dorm I bought a portable gas stove. Eating processed microwavable food all the time get's gross and makes u feel unhealthy.
