Gas Stoves
Small camping gas stoves – for trekking fans and minimalists
If you love camping, you’re probably familiar with the small, blue gas stove we always carried in our backpacks on our cycling tours and camping trips. Even today, it’s hard to imagine trekking equipment without these practical helpers. They are incredibly easy to use. The stove is equipped with a single burner with adjustable pot supports that you screw directly onto the gas cartridge. The cartridge then acts as a fuel supplier and support leg at the same time. As these stoves are small and light, they are perfect for hiking and camping. And you can heat the water for your pasta or tea in no time at all!
Gas cartridge stoves – the favourite among camping stoves
Practical, safe and incredibly versatile. Gas cartridge camping stoves for your table. They are perfect for couples and small families. A single-burner stove is more than enough for hot coffee and a fried egg for breakfast – or for delicious spaghetti in the evening. Thanks to their low centre of gravity, they are super stable and can easily heat even large pots. After you’re done, they can be stowed away in their practical box in no time at all.
Multi-burner gas cartridge stoves – for large families or big appetites
Two-, three- or four-burner gas stoves are highly recommended for camping holidays with groups or families with children. Depending on the size, you use them with practical gas cartridges, some of which are simply connected to the stove with a hose. You can also take a look at our portable gas barbecues. On those, you can even cook and grill at the same time.
Windbreaks for camping gas stoves
Seasoned campers know the score. As soon as the wind starts blowing around your caravan more strongly, you need a windbreak for your gas stove. Otherwise, your gas consumption will increase unnecessarily – and the flame will simply be blown out by a gust of wind. Some of our gas stoves have an integrated windbreak and can help with that problem. Whenever it’s necessary, you can, for example, fold up the sides or use them as an all-round shield to protect the flame directly. Your gas stove doesn’t have an integrated windbreak? That’s not a problem.
For those who love to invite their friends and neighbours for dinner
Passionate camping chefs who prefer to cook for large groups should equip themselves with larger propane gas cylinders. Like the ones you use for the gas barbecue in your garden at home. With 5 kg, 11 kg or 33 kg capacity. But be careful! Unfortunately, it is not easy to refill most gas cylinders abroad because you often need an extra adapter. Therefore, you should always research what gas supply options you have in the country you’re travelling to before you leave.
Great accessories for gas camping stoves
Clever campers know that you can quickly turn a simple gas stove into a powerful barbecue and grill delicious steaks with just a few tricks. All it takes is a grill top. A practical windbreak can also work wonders. And it definitely helps to save gas!
Tip
Our tips for camping chefs with gas stoves:
1. Before you start your holiday, check if the cartridges you need can be bought in the country you’re travelling to in case of an emergency.
2. A windbreak around the flame and a lid on the pot ensure that you can cook faster and more efficiently.
3. On stoves with multiple burners, you quickly run out of space. If you want to cook for more than a few people and want to use large pots, we recommend using separate stoves with one burner each.
4. Pay attention to the power. If you only use the stove to cook breakfast, 1 kW is enough. But if you want to boil 5 litres of water for your spaghetti, you need stoves from 2 kW upwards.
5. Interesting for winter campers: Both when it gets colder and at higher altitudes, gas stoves don’t work as well. In those cases, you should use spirit stoves or even petrol stoves, instead.
Technical terms simply explained
- What are gas cartridges?
Unlike gas cylinders, gas cartridges are not refillable. You therefore buy them for single use. They are smaller than gas cylinders and thus take up less space. Gas cartridges are filled with liquid gas – usually butane or a butane-propane mixture. There are pierceable cartridges, screw-on valve cartridges and bayonet valve cartridges.
