Dual fuel range cooker

[tali1]

I want to buy a 90cm range cooker - but a friend says avoid the Dual Fuel ones and just buy a gas one which is far better
Anyone confirm that dual fuel is not worth having?

We had a dual fuel Smeg range thing - I like gas rings and an electric oven and it was great (apart from the temperature gauge thing for the ovens which was a bit old fashioned).

You mean a coleman stove ? In my experiece the dual fuel (/petrol) ones are f'ing brilliant. They are a little bit scary to use though and you have to carry petrol around. They are very cheap to run and go like a rocket. I can get through a whole week at Glastonbury on about £3 worth of petrol.

Are you talking about this one ? (This is the one I was talking about anyway)

Sorry, I have got the wrong end of the stick here. I was talking about a house cooker.

Don't use Coleman fuel, it's a rip off. Even though petrol clogs up the 'generator' which ends up having to be replaced, it's still the cheaper option by far.
So, my advice: get one - the gas ones are feeble and you may end up having to trudge miles to find a stockist of canisters if you run out in the middle of nowhere. When you get it, order a spare generator.

We bought a dual fuel Rangemaster 8 years ago and its been great. Not the cheapest...about £1600.Try to avoid the cheap alternatives....they tend to fall apart.

Ive got a belling kensigton 120cm dual fuel. I love it! i much prefer a gas stove as its easier to control.

Just to clarify ,dual fuel as in gas and electric
Friend says they use too much electric

after gas ovens all our life we recently got an electric oven , best thing we ever did, still got a gas hob...We found after listening to all the scare stories abouts costs we werent certain it was the right thing to do, they were all so wrong....very wrong.
