I know there are a lot of threads on this. But the search function on this new "user friendly" website seems to be designed for someone either under 15 years of age or with an IQ higher than
mine. Anyhow, how to users feel about the Webasto diesel cooktop. Am I better of with gas?

Diesel
cook tops tend to be slow to start and to respond.
Gas as a fuel is quick, clean, quiet, heavy (because of the container) and expensive by comparison.
International travellers tend to avoid gas because of availability and lack of bottle fitting commonality. These are not generally issues in Australia.

After the initial cost it's all good, slow to heat as others have said but very economical, likely to remain so compared to rising lpg prices. We use ours for most meals, even the
camp oven to do roasts etc.
You do get used to turning it on as you start to prepare for meals but it is only a minute or so before it can be used. At least it can't kill you with its exhaust or fuel like gas.

Hi Peter,
It's Keith again thanking you once for for your rely on my water/space heater post. Three questions if I may:
1. Is the cooker hot enough to do a stir fry with a big pan or dies it just stew away quietly?
2. Is there much noise with the silencer fitted?
3. Is the water and space/heater silent?
Many thanks
Keith
