Actually it was a more robust version, XGK, what we used. Picture on the first page of this discussion. 
Blacks have a sale on their stoves currently. The 2-burner Camping Gaz version which takes a hose from your big calor bottle is going for about £25 down from £70.
In my opinion for overlanding everything should be multifunctional like a leatherman or Swizz army knife...
For weekends the small jobbies will do, but if you plan on going overland it might be wise to consider the big calor gas bottle and various equipment (stove, lights, heater, fire lighter) can all run off it... And if you're going to camp for more than a weekend, a single burner will just not be up to it...
Well, my 2pce worth..

Does a boab braai count? Been playing with mine for the first time this evening and it seems pretty good 
Don't look now, but Missus was clearing out her Gran's garage today and brought me another double ring stove. I felt sooo guilty that I had to tell you all. That brings the total to, err, uhm, now then, ahh

before I got a LC and joined this forum I hadn't realised I was a fan of camping stoves ...I have a few! So I got excited in a local hardware store today: 4 NOS campingaz globetrotters (£25 each), and most excitingly, 6 uber-rare 106 cartridges at only £2.50 each!
I fitted longer 206 arms to my globetrotter several years ago. Its a shame, but similarly I dont need a compact travel stove like I used to. Now I'm wondering do I change it back and buy these 6 (checking the web they're like hens teeth), or move on, stop hoarding, and let them go to someone that would appreciate them more?

okay chris! first thing I thought when I saw them was of the threads I'd read on here 
I couldnt remember who, but I know that the globetrotter has a following. I'd like them myself but am also trying to resist amassing more stuff, it's coming out my ears. This is something I think I'm happy to pass on, given their rarity and thus the system's diminishing practicality to me. I'll grab them and keep them safe for you - will you be going to Lincomb? (I hope to).
I take it you only want the cartridges, not the stoves too? Anyone else? I get the feeling the place might do me a bulk-buy discount on the stoves to clear their dusty shelves. They've got plenty of the normal size cartridges if they're also of any use, but they're still pretty available last time I looked?

No probs. the 106s have your name on!
The stove burners are as new in their boxes, with the pan set. There are 4 units, one in slightly different box style. There was also a loose burner head on the shelf (ex display?) so the pans for it might be about too. I'm almost tempted to get one of the stoves as both the pans and the way they're held are bloody great, and I've another set of longer legs I could use to convert it to standard cartriges... But then I've generallly accepted that if I'm to do an ultra-light hike/camp these days, I'll either manage without a stove, or look into a jetboil or something.
must. resist. the. nostalgia!!

Sorry for the delay - have been quite busy since Lincomb.
Warren I think it was mine you saw and it's this one from Amazon.

Keep in mine its pretty much raw cat iron so needs to be cured etc to avoid it rusting.
