Cooking Equipment

When we think about bankside cooking equipment it’s no secret that RidgeMonkey has done its fair share for the development of the gear we use, to cook the meals we love, on the bank.

This time we have a few products that don’t stray too far from that overall idea of innovation, long gone are the days of old taking multiple gas canisters and stoves, or even recruiting a mate to cook the rice whilst you cook the chicken tikka masala!Quad Connect Pro
Featuring the same super-stable signature ‘Quad’ design as the single stoves with adjustable legs and a super low-profile aesthetic, the Quad Connect Pro incorporates a secondary burner, allowing you to cook with two pans simultaneously by using RidgeMonkey’s quick release connector – great for socials on the bank, from cooking more complex meals to boiling a couple of kettles at once for a big round of brews where one kettle just won’t cut it. The features don’t end there, a preheat pipe allowing you to get the absolute maximum fuel use from each can plus an independent gas regulation valve for the secondary burner, allowing you to cook at alternate gas marks. 

Dimensions: Folded 130 x 130 x 130mm; fully extended 180 x 180 x 105mm
RRP: £118.99Quad Connect Pro Mini 
Although mini in name, this certainly isn’t mini in nature! Boasting the same 2400w power output as the standard Quad Connect Pro and all the same features. 

Suiting the compact angler looking for versatility but smaller pack-down capabilities too, keeping precious rucksack space free for other items of tackle, the mini weighs in at 300g less than the standard, equivalent to 10.5oz in leads! To many of you who take careful consideration to the amount of weight you carry, this should help you in your decision, although many people do not pay too much attention to being encumbered with tackle or some people prefer larger carryalls. If this sounds like you then take your pick between the two because they are truly both the gold standard and it all just comes down to the size you would prefer.

Dimensions: Folded 90 x 90 x 75mm; fully extended 125 x 125 x 85

Quad Connect Windshield 
Picture this; you are sitting in the teeth of a cold wind with waves lapping against your rod tips, it feels as though an even worse chill is developing in each break on the surface and you didn’t put that extra layer in the van because the forecast looked pretty mild. The regret is beginning to sink in and the kettle is calling your name, so you fill it with water and click your stove on full. However, the flames on your stove are fighting off the breeze harder than you are and this kettle is going to take days to boil. 

Sound familiar? Well, the Quad Connect Windshield solves not only this problem but a few more too. You can buy multiple shields to create a larger shield for your new Quad Connect Pro Stoves. The clever addition of ground spikes makes sure it stays firm in its stance and keeps the wind away from your food, hot drinks, and the flame – meaning no more wasted gas.
