Campingaz Camp Bistro Stove, 1 burner, camping stove, 2200-watt capacity, compact outdoor cooker, includes carry case for easy transport

Product Information

There are exceptions, however. The Campingaz Camp Bistro 2 and the Kemper Camping Stove Xtra Smart are medium-sized but only have a single burner – so they're a compromise between the portability of the compact stove and the familiar cooking experience of a larger one. The stoves we tested with this type of flame burnt the hottest, were great at heating up pans and proved much more resistant to wind interference than standard burners. The rectangular metal base (it's about 30cm wide) means the Bistro 2 is sturdy and, unlike many single burners, there's no chance of it falling over. It can take a pan up to 26cm and the enamelled pan support feels solid and durable. It's certainly something you can cook on with confidence. The best camping stoves you can buy in 2023 1. Campingaz Party Grill 200 Stove: Best for larger groups (4-6 people)

Larger, heavier camping stoves with several burners and a design that's more similar to your home cooker.But if you are a keen cook and have a large group of campers, it’s definitely worth considering. Conclusion This stove features PerfectFlow technology which means it functions well in most conditions (including wind, extreme weather and high altitude). We put 500ml water in our camping kettle and timed how long it took each camping stove to boil it. We found that there wasn't much difference in most of the times we recorded.

There is a support around the gas ring which is raised with grooves to provide extra stability, particularly if using a larger sized pan (maximum pan size 10 inches). There were one or two slow models, but most of the stoves got the kettle whistling after around five minutes. For what it's worth, even their invoice had the correct product description. I might be wrong, but I don't think that's even legal, sending a different product than what the invoice states. Choosing a small burner for a large pot runs the risk of the heat being concentrated in the centre, leaving the edges of your food undercooked.You are probably right, but for me the fact that a specific product is advertised, pictured online and clearly described as "X", means that when I choose to buy it, I will receive "X", not "Y" which is really close to "X". I am not paying "something which is really close to money", am I? Besides, I wasn't even given the chance to choose if I wanted that or not. Why? Could it be because the "alternative branding" product contains less gas but costs the same (so there's an immediate additional 12% profit for them paid by the stupid customer)? Will my meals require more than one burner? Even if you're camping solo, you should think through the meals you'll want to cook and how many burners you normally use at home. If you aren't keen on one-pot meals, you'll probably need a stove with at least two burners.

As far as I know, the Camping Gas bottles contain 250 grams of gas, while the Gelert bottles contain only 220. That's 12% less product. The fact that they cost exactly the same as the trader mentioned, gives me another good reason to return them. Now this is a stove for serious car campers cooking for a large group. Boasting three powerful burners (30,000 BTUs each) and a freestanding frame, this propane stove can accommodate all your cooking needs. Buy more fuel refills than you think you’ll need, and if you’re heading abroad on a car camping trip it’s worth taking as much as you’ll use for the entire camping trip, as it might not be available at your destination. You can also buy hose adaptors that let you connect gas stoves to big, refillable propane tanks, which is a more eco-friendly and economical way to cook than regularly replacing smaller canisters. The gas regulators on these stoves were small and didn't take much turning to adjust the power of the stove significantly. A slight touch made the flame go from powerful to very powerful.It takes plenty of twigs and you need to add more twigs every few minutes but keep the fire roaring and, if you fill the red pouch on the side with water, as it heats the built-in thermoelectric generator with USB connector can turn the heat into electricity and top up your phone as you boil your supper. You can, but as you're dealing with an open gas-powered flame, you should ensure there's a good amount of ventilation before you use one to cook. This applies to camping stoves, too, although you're unlikely to find many stoves that have different-sized burners. There’s no cover on the Camp Bistro, which is a bit of a shame, but as a single burner stove, it’s great. It does come with a hard plastic carry case, which is durable enough to last for years. Really well made, simple construction, it’ll work well on long camping trips. Weighs in at just under 2kg.

Although you can get standard gas hob-style flames, there are camping stoves available that have welding-style flames with intense heat and an audible roar. Propane is easy to get hold of and burns well but liquid fuel performs better at low temperatures. Liquid fuel canisters are usually connected via a hose to the stove and are refillable. We like stoves that feature a Piezo-igniter (a push-button starter) as it’s useful if you forget to bring matches along. Once lit, some stoves burn with a blue light while others make a roaring noise. The use of the stove can also be weather-dependent; as there is no screen to protect it from the wind, we found that the stove tends to provide the best results when used in sheltered areas. An update to the traditional alcohol burner style all-in-one camping stove, this stylish, super light design from Primus comes with a small but mighty 2000W piezo controlled gas burner that can boil a litre of water in just four minutes.

Nevertheless, I wanted to know if the Gelert gas bottles are compatible with my Campingaz Camp Bistro Gas Cooker.
