Does anyone have any experience with these items?
I was interested to know how the running costs and efficiency of them compared with LPG. I have still to decide on refillable or bottled LPG.
Any thoughts on that too would be of interest to me

The spirit alcohol route seems to have some merit with both portable or built-in units of both hobs and ovens being competitively priced. Also a portable option could be used to do the cooking outside in good weather saving heat buildup inside.
The "Heat Pal" cooker/heater seemed a good saving on fitting a warm air system for that bit of extra comfort on a cold evening. Its not as if I would want to use it unattended overnight. With my experience camping in my teardrop trailer, I found it very snug with a good quilt.

My only concern with using the heater is ventilation and condensation. With the teardrop being quite compact, without open ventilation condensation could be a problem. Just breathing overnight will cause half a pint of water vapour that will condense on any cold surface.
Any thought, comments welcomed.
