Abstract

A portable stove of the type fuelled from a replaceable pressurized combustible gas cartridge and having means for connecting a burner head to the replaceable cartridge, said stove being equipped with a dished wind shield having a rim which surrounds the burner head, and cooking vessel support arms pairs of which are formed by yokes pivoted along their middle sections on the floor of the dished wind shield such that the arms are movable between cooking vessel supporting positions in which the said arms extend beyond the rim of the said wind shield and stowing positions in which the said arms are moved back within the periphery of the rim. A pair of covers, which telescopically fit one into the other have the dual function of serving separately as saucepans and in co-operation as an expandible housing for the stove. The ends of the arms are shaped so as to provide, when the arms are extended, upstanding portions which are inscribed in a circle whose diameter is greater than the external diameters of the covers.
