1. Coleman Propane Camp Stove
SALE
This is a classic that’s been around for ages. It’s tried and true and will be a workhorse for any of your outdoor adventures.
With two burners you can easily cook a nice hot meal in the same amount of time you would at home, or get a simple cup of joe brewed in no time. It can accomodate a 10 inch pan alongside a 12 inch pan at the same time and each burner can be individually controlled.
We particularly love to use this when we car camp or go overlanding. It takes a 1lb propane tank that can be acquired from any store that sells sporting goods.
You could also use an attachment for a larger propane tank.
Pros/Two burners, wind blocking panels, folds flat
Cons/
Bottom Line/Great for the outdoors as well as preparedness
2. Backpacking Stove
SALE
These backpacker stoves are amazing to have on hand. Along with a canister of isobutane, this stove is small but mighty. Place any type of pot or pan on top of the stove and you’re on your way.
Its small size makes it perfect for hiking or backpacking. I love to have a few of these around in every pack just because they’re so lightweight and compact.
I usually place the stove and the canister inside of a bag together inside of my pack, keeps it organized.
Most stoves have a self igniting feature, but I have experienced them failing, so be sure to carry a lighter with you, just in case.
Pros/Lightweight, compact, easy to use
Cons/Self igniting feature tends to fail
Bottom Line/Great little stove to have on hand
3. Solo Stove Campfire
SALE
Still want a fire while you camp? This is basically the perfect setup. It takes small twigs to get a powerful fire going, but the fire is contained within the stove.
Because it takes twigs, you don’t need to carry any additional fuel canisters.
It’s lightweight and compact so it’s perfect for just about any type of outdoor activity.
Pros/Lightweight, compact, uses twigs for a powerful fire
Cons/Fire may still be a concern for some areas in burn bans
Bottom Line/Great option for just about any adventure
4. Propane Outdoor Space Heater and Camping Stove
SALE
This is a 2-in-1 system; it’s a stove, but it’s also a heater! You can cook your food or boil your water while you heat up your tent or blind (with adequate ventilation, of course).
It runs on propane and can heat up to 30 square meters, which is about 322 square feet.
Considering what it is, it’s lightweight and easy to pack and move around.
It also has tip over protection, it’ll turn off if it gets tipped over.
Pros/Heat and cook at the same time, tip over protection, lightweight
Cons/Best used in just cold conditions
Bottom Line/Great addition for cold weather adventures
