We normally don't so much cooking with gas preferring to use a campfire whenever we can. However there are occasions when using gas for cooking is necessary. So what I'm after is an idea of how long a small cylinder (1.25kg) is likely to last given it would used for cooking for 2 adults - let's say porridge in the morning and then steak/chicken etc at night, and boiling a bit of water for tea and coffee twice a day. I guess that would equate to say half hour or so of continuous use per day.
The stove is a Coleman - the one that can run off those small cylinders hanging off the side - but we have a hose for a normal cylinder as well.
I'm hoping that we can get away with the small cylinder for emergency cooking on an upcoming trip. But I want to ensure we have enough gas in case of inclement weather.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
