A great camping stove needs to be powerful enough to boil water in a breeze, yet delicate enough to simmer a sauce without scorching it.
The stove we recommend for most campers is the Camp Chef Everest 2x. It’s a powerful stove with a great windscreen and performed well across every single test metric. If you need a single burner, we like the Gas One GS-3400P. It has great simmer control, is light, and runs off both propane and butane. Its price is unbeatable.
Since 2012, we’ve tested 51 camping stoves to find which ones actually deliver. For this update, we pitted the top 11 models against each other. Beyond measuring raw power and fuel efficiency, we cooked real meals to test setup, simmer control, and cleanup.
Editor’s Note: On March 30, we added two new models: The Gas One GS-3400P and the Gas One High Pressure Burner.
