Best Camping Stoves of 2025

"I absolutely love this stove! It's compact and powerful, making outdoor cooking a breeze. The wind protection really helps keep the flames steady, and I can cook multiple dishes at once without any issues. It's truly a game-changer for camping!"

"I’ve been using this stove frequently and it's great! The strong flame allows me to cook anything I want without limitations. Plus, it’s lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for my camping trips."

"This stove has been a fantastic addition to my camping gear. It heats up quickly and is very easy to clean. I love how everything fits together for storage. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who enjoys cooking outdoors!"

"First off, I wish I had gotten the 15,000 BTU unit instead. This stove works fine and will definitely be useful during any prolonged power outages, which is something I should have considered living in Florida. I bought it mainly for hot water bath canning since my glass top stove isn’t suitable for that. The weather is scorching, so I didn't want to do my jelly outside. After researching, I felt comfortable using it indoors, especially with my carbon monoxide detector in place. I opened a few windows for ventilation and had no issues. While I understand the safety warnings about indoor use, I think it really depends on your situation. My only drawback is the time it takes to heat water; it got the water boiling eventually, but it was slow, and I think it’s just the stove's rating at 8,000 BTU. Overall, it’s a well-constructed camp stove, and I’m ordering the 15,000 BTU version for my future canning projects."

"I purchased this stove for $32.99 as a backup for heating while camping. I have to say, it can produce a significant amount of heat! I’ve used it on a few trips mainly to boil water and heat food, and it does the job incredibly fast. I can’t say I’ve made a fancy meal with it, but why would I? It brings water in my aluminum kettle to a boil in no time! The portability is decent, not for backpacking, but it comes with a nice black carry case for easy transport. The manual is super straightforward—only one page with pictures, so using it is a breeze. I haven’t tried the propane mode yet, but I’ve heard it works well. Honestly, I have no major complaints; it just works as needed. Just be cautious with smaller diameter items on the grill top. Overall, it’s a great product for around $30."

"I decided to buy this stove for camping in all seasons. I was pleasantly surprised it works down to 0°F! It’s all metal, easy to use, and I got it on sale just before Christmas. It's a little bulky, but you can cook just about anything, from pasta to coffee. It has even heat and simmers great!"

"I purchased this stove for hurricane preparedness since I went two weeks without power last year. I took it on a camping trip recently and it exceeded my expectations! It boiled water for coffee quickly and cooked sausage and eggs better than my home electric stove. I highly recommend this Coleman stove for preppers and campers!"

"I’ve had this grill for over two years and I must say it's one of my best purchases. I wish it came with an adapter for larger gas tanks since the smaller ones can be hard to find. However, in terms of quality and practicality, it deserves a 10/10. It's an excellent gift for any camper!"

"I recently returned from a cross-country road trip, and our Coleman stove was the star of the trip. It was always ready for cooking or heating water for coffee or tea, day or night. The design is great, with no sharp edges and windshields that snap into place in an instant. The push-button ignition always worked perfectly."

"I switched from a 3-1 Coleman stove to this model along with a Lodge cast iron griddle/grill. The difference is remarkable! It's the perfect size, functions well, and is much easier to clean. I love the knobs for micro-adjusting the flames. While the starter wasn't the best, we always have a clicker handy, so it’s not an issue. This model is definitely worth the extra money."

"After using this stove multiple times, I can confidently say it’s a great product. The two burners provide excellent heat, and setup is quick and easy. The wind screens are well-sized, and the stove is reasonably lightweight. I would definitely buy this again and expect it to last for many years!"

"When I chose the Gas One Portable Butane Camping Stove, I was focused on emergency preparedness. Although I haven't used it outdoors yet, I can sense its potential to be a lifesaver. The compact design and user-friendly features really impressed me, especially the automatic ignition that eliminates the hassle of matches. I'm excited to use it for cooking and boiling water during emergencies. I also look forward to bringing it along for tailgating and family outings!"

"I found it really easy to use, even though it was my first time with this type of stove. I can't recall what I cooked, but it worked perfectly! Knowing I can heat water for my coffee during a power outage without needing to go outside is comforting. Plus, it's very light and comes with a nice case for transport!"

"So far, I've only used it twice, once to test it out and once during a power outage. It boiled water in just a couple of minutes and came in clutch when I needed to cook a meal for my son and me. I highly recommend having this on hand for emergency situations!"

"I was a bit hesitant at first, but I’m glad I decided to try this stove. It’s a real GEM! The plastic case makes it easy to transport, and I always keep it in my car for emergencies. When we’re outdoors, I love to grill sandwiches on it; it takes just five minutes and makes our lunch delicious and hot!"

"This little stove has been a game changer for me! I can now do all my frying outside, keeping my kitchen clean. It’s fantastic that I have the option to use either a propane cylinder or butane cans. Plus, the carrying case is a nice bonus. I highly recommend this burner!"

"I bought this stove mainly for emergency use, and I was pleasantly surprised. It connected easily to my propane tank, lit right up, and produced a nice hot flame. Although I had to order the butane cans online, I can't wait to try that fuel too!"

"I bought this for everyday use, and I love it! Great value, very sturdy, easy to adjust, and heats well."

"This stove is phenomenal. Setup is a breeze, and the high heat allows me to cook steaks outdoors without smoking up the house. My wife approves!"

"This product was worth every cent. Great quality, fast heating, and it worked perfectly for my crab boil. I highly recommend it!"

"I was impressed by the sturdy design of this burner. I used to struggle with my old one, but this one is built to last. The only thing that confused me was the opposite direction of the valve on the regulator. It’s solid and can handle my 16-gallon pot easily. I'm very satisfied with my purchase!"

"I chose this burner mainly for its affordability, and it's been a great choice. I’ve used it about 20 times already, and the quality is evident. One small issue is the angled pot racks; smaller pans do tend to slide around, but it hasn’t been a major problem for me."

"This little burner packs a powerful punch for its size. I was looking for something portable and inexpensive, and this fits the bill perfectly. It can hold a heavy pot and produces a large flame with easy adjustment. I was pleasantly surprised at its heavy-duty construction!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how large the stove unit was when I opened the box. It's my main choice for multi-day kayak trips, and I love the all-metal construction. The propane flow knob is easy to adjust, allowing me to fine-tune the flame without worrying about it turning off unexpectedly. Even in 10 mph winds, the flame stayed strong. Overall, this is a great camp stove for my needs."

"I found this item to be small and easy to set up. Although it could benefit from a carrying bag, I think it’s a good value for the price. It doesn’t take up much space, making it perfect for my camping trips."

"As someone who already owns a two-burner Coleman stove, I believe this is the best one-burner option. It uses the same propane canisters, so there's no need for a different fuel setup. It’s perfect for quickly boiling water for coffee or tea without the hassle of the two-burner setup."

"I've used my old Coleman stove for over 20 years and while it still worked fine, I felt it was time for an upgrade. I'm really happy with the new stove!"

"This is my first camp stove, and after a lot of research, I chose this one. It's just perfect! Very easy to use, great flame, and I love the double burner with wind shields and utensil rests."

"I purchased this stove mainly as a backup cooking source during winter power outages. I haven't used it yet, but I’m hoping it will serve its purpose well!"
