Best gas stoves and camping gas cookers for outdoor cooking, backpacking, and camping across the UK. Our gas stove collection features lightweight backpacking stoves, family camping cookers, and portable gas burners for reliable outdoor cooking.

Backpacking and Camping Gas Stoves We stock reliable gas stoves from trusted outdoor brands including SOTO, Optimus, Robens, Outwell, Highlander, GSI Outdoors, and Kombat UK. Each gas stove is tested for reliability and efficiency during outdoor cooking.

Ultralight to Multi-Burner Gas Cookers Choose from ultralight backpacking gas stoves under 100g for solo hiking, compact canister stoves for weekend camping, or multi-burner gas cookers for family camping and group cooking. Power outputs range from 1000W to 4000W for different cooking needs.

Canister and Liquid Fuel Gas Stoves Canister gas stoves offer convenience and easy setup with screw-on gas cartridges. Liquid fuel stoves work in extreme cold and high altitude where canister stoves lose efficiency. Remote canister stoves provide stability for larger pots and windy conditions.

Fast Boiling and Precise Heat Control Modern gas stoves boil water in 2-4 minutes depending on power output and conditions. Adjustable flame control allows simmering for delicate cooking and maximum heat for rapid boiling. Wind shields improve efficiency in outdoor conditions.

Compact and Lightweight Designs Backpacking gas stoves pack small and weigh 80-300g for weight-conscious hikers. Car camping gas cookers prioritize cooking performance and stability over weight. Folding designs and integrated cases protect stoves during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of gas do camping stoves use? Most camping gas stoves use butane/propane mix cartridges (EN417 standard). Some models accept isobutane for better cold weather performance. Liquid fuel stoves use white gas, petrol, or kerosene for extreme conditions.

How long does a gas cartridge last? A 230g gas cartridge typically provides 2-4 hours cooking time depending on stove efficiency, heat setting, and weather conditions. Boiling water uses more fuel than simmering. Carry spare cartridges for extended trips.

Are gas stoves safe to use in tents? Never use gas stoves inside tents due to carbon monoxide risk and fire hazard. Cook in tent porches with good ventilation, or outside the tent. Always ensure adequate airflow when using gas stoves.

What's the difference between canister and liquid fuel stoves? Canister stoves are convenient, clean, and easy to use but perform poorly in cold weather. Liquid fuel stoves work in extreme conditions, use cheaper fuel, but require more maintenance and priming.

How do I choose the right gas stove for backpacking? For backpacking, prioritize weight, pack size, and fuel efficiency. Solo hikers need 1000-2000W power, while groups benefit from 2500W+ stoves. Consider integrated systems for convenience or separate stoves for versatility.

Can gas stoves work in winter conditions? Standard butane cartridges lose pressure below 0°C. Use isobutane cartridges or liquid fuel stoves for winter camping. Keep cartridges warm and consider remote canister stoves for better cold weather performance.

What accessories do I need for gas stoves? Essential accessories include windshield, lighter/matches, spare cartridges, and appropriate cookware. Consider pot stands for stability, heat exchangers for efficiency, and carrying cases for protection during transport.
