Product Information

This is a great way to increase the efficiency of the single burner butane stoves in our review, like the Gas One GS-3000 or the Eureka SPRK+. The power cord is especially long at 6 ft, so you won’t be limited as to where you can place it when driving. This is unsurprisingly given the lean design, but something that did need to be addressed to make it through dinner. ounces of fuel in the windy test — which was a fairly average score — and then it consumed so little fuel in the windless test that it didn't even register. The twin 10,200 BTU burner heads are sized more similarly to those on backpacking stoves but still performed admirably in our cooking tests.

Camping stoves can be broken down into two main groups, and deciding what kind of camp cooking you’re aiming to do will help you narrow in on which stove is better for you.Most portable cookers are designed to be used with the 12V cigarette lighter outlet, but there are some models which will need an adaptor and inverter before they can be used on the road. When we test a camp stove, we’re also looking at the big picture, and we pay special attention to functional differences in ease of use, packability, weight, and availability of fueling. Furthermore, models which come with secure latches are a good choice because they are less likely to spill should you hit a bump and they topple over. However, in certain cases, you can make a windscreen from an aluminum bake dish or purchase a basic aluminum windscreen like the kind that comes with a backpacking stove. Camping and food go hand in hand, especially when car camping affords you the luxury of a two-burner stove.

Many models don’t have adjustable temperature controls, but some portable cookers, such as the HotLogic Mini Personal Portable Oven, use ‘intelligent cooking,’ which promises not to overcook your meal no matter how long you leave it. This holds the fuel bottle at what we imagine is the optimal angle, but in reality, it was just another loose piece we feared losing track of. Simply place your food into a flat-bottomed and sealed top container, place within the case, and zip it up. The heating box is suitable for home and office use, and can be used as a microwave oven, an electronic heater or a cooker.

This was one of the reasons we loved the Camp Chef Everest 2X so much, which has broad burner heads that distribute heat evenly and make for fuss-free simmering.

Freestanding stoves almost require high-power burners to compensate for all this open space and the distance between the burners and the cooktop. If you’re camping on a budget, or want an extra two burners for large meals, the Coleman Cascade Classic would be a great addition to your outdoor kitchen setup. We recommend you measure your available space and compare against the dimensions before you make a decision.

Look for a twin burner stove with at least 10,000-BTU output if you’re the camp chef of your friend group. We first tested our Explorer 14 at a family-style Dungeness crab boil, and this is exactly the type of stove for an event that aims to feed many. If all you care to eat while camping is canned soup or freeze-dried meals, then a lightweight single-burner is perfect. We heavily weighted the metric for boiling time because a faster boil in windy and windless conditions generally means quicker meals, faster coffee, broader versatility, and more efficient fuel use.

I was thinking of maybe lifting straps round it or something to get it off the ground but not sure how to then lift and shove in. If you are tight on space and looking for a truly small stove to stash away in your camp kit or vehicle, we’d recommend the Eureka SPRK+ (a one-burner option) or the Kovea Slim Twin (a slim and more budget-friendly two-burner). If you need a lower flame and your stove can't simmer, you'll rage more quickly through your fuel canisters or propane tank. You can help safeguard against this by keeping your canisters in a warm place before cooking, and tucking them back away when you’re done. Truck drivers rarely have issues fitting a portable cooker into their cab or trailer, but you’ll still need to make sure the cable will reach the appropriate power outlet.This aside, our most fuel-efficient stove was the Camp Chef Mountaineer, which consumed an average of 0. This method will still allow you to enjoy a hot meal without having to spend money at rest stops, but it isn’t much help in bad weather.
