What kind of stove is it?
...sorry I've just re-read your post (been a long week!) I had envisaged some kind of electric stove requiring a 30A outlet supping lots of juice and a separate electric heater but I guess you have an all-in-one unit. I have a couple of generators here: Honda EU20i which is the 2KVa model in their portable suitcase range and a 1KVa Clarke which is basically a re-badged Kipor generator made in China and a blatant attempt at cloning the EU10. For half the price of the equivalent Honda models I really can't say anything bad about the Clarke, ok it's a bit louder and sounds a tad unrefined when it's running close to idle in economy mode but the power delivery is consistent and I've never had any problems powering a laptop, radio equipment and TV so I would imagine that the 2KVa version under whatever guise it's badged is equally acceptable for less than 400 quid.
