If you are unsure if gas stoves are for you, or prefer to have both options, you do not need to spend a fortune. If you have air fryer or multi cooker at home you can take these with you. However hot plates are a great addition to a camping kitchen. Read our article on our top electrical cooking stoves you can use for camping that are ideal for a smaller budget.

Potentially just 350ml of water can boil in just over 1 minute. Double burner stoves are ideal for cooking if you do not cook using one saucepan. If you need several burners working simultaneously, they are ideal. Buying two single burners is a cheaper option than a double burner. You do not need to worry about refilling the cylinders. Butane 220g gas canisters are more affordable and easier to store and transport. I have a variety of stoves, but I love my multi-cooker as I can easily convert it into an oven. Whereas my gas stove is ideal for summer camping, I prefer my electrical hot plate in the colder season. I feel safer using my electrical stoves near my tent under the shelter and can fully protect the electrical cables.

Even fewer knew that there are several dual fuel stoves and handy little adaptors you can get for your camping stove that will allow it to use any type of gas.

If you need a lightweight stove there are now better lightweight stoves available using Butane/Propane mix gas. For safety reasons, I will always continue to remove gas from my stove after using it. I prefer to be safe rather than worrying about losing a minimal amount of gas when removing.

Double gas stoves are larger and generally supplied with a lid with sides to help shield from the wind whilst cooking. However, do not rely on these windshields; use either a windbreaker or a camping kitchen unit with an attachable shield. They require a hose and regulator and cannot be attached to a small 220g canister as a single portable gas stove. Why don't you advise using butane propane mix on bluet type stoves, Bramston? There is no reason for that? Indeed the bluet stoves on Everest used a butane propane mix as pure butane simply wouldn't have worked. Those canisters worked their way into the climbing community. I used a globetrotter in the early eighties that used both and my father's 1970s bluet also could use both.
