Read on to discover the best camping stoves & cookers for amazing campsite meals…
What is a camping stove?
A camping stove is portable cooking equipment that allows you to cook meals on a camping holiday.
If you’re new to camping, you may think a campfire will do nicely for cooking. But it’s worth noting that some campsites do not permit campfires for safety reasons, so it’s always best to come prepared just in case.
Camping stoves are specially designed for the purpose of cooking outdoors, providing you with what you need to whip up any dish you desire! You’ll be able to choose from a range of styles, types and power options, depending on your preference.
Most camping stoves require propane or butane gas, but you’ll also be able to find electric-powered camping stoves.
What camping stove style is right for you?
Deciding what camping stove or cooker is right for you will depend on what you want and need. You may opt for all-rounder stoves, but if you’re a small camping group this might be unnecessary.
We recommend pinpointing what kind of trips you want to experience and your budget. There are many cookware options to choose from that accommodate an array of different pricing options, so we can guarantee that there’s a stove or cooker to suit everyone.
For example, if you’re going on a camping trip with the whole family, we would recommend a highly versatile option that can accommodate having different meals on the go at the same time.
If it’s just you or a friend deciding to venture out on an outdoor adventure, we recommend a smaller option that prioritises compact efficiency, reliability and durability over everything else.
