Simpler lifestyle the priority

I have a single-burner, much like those you featured. Inexpensive, but it does the job. Light to carry, and everything together. Takes up very little space. One could have two for fancier meals.
Of course, it means adjustments in lifestyle. (No rice for me, but then I don't think rice is worth the effort anyway.) My idea was to simplify.
bigger portables

id like to have portable bbq that has a lid, we and many others live in buses, and like to cook outdoors in the summer, and one with a lid would be nice to be able to do small roasts or chicken peices.
We bought a two burner that looks equivilent to the campmaster (though it has a drip tray) while in Canada at Canadian Tire and it cost us $40 canadian. This sort of price difference is repeated time and time again in almost any product you care to name. Why is it that we pay so much for everything in NZ. Its a little off topic but its something that really gets to me. Its like retailers here buy stuff retail in the US, ship it here and then add a juicy profit and tax on top.
