10 Best Gas Portable Cookers

Each buyer of a portable gas stove is based on personal convenience, and the form factor of such tiles can be very diverse. If compactness is most important to you, then be sure to pay attention to this option. Before us is the smallest tile, when assembled, it easily fits in your pocket. True, a gas cylinder will not fit in the same pocket, and the stove does not have a collet connection.

All petals of the holder, as well as the legs, are foldable. From the side of compactness, this is a plus, but the stability in the assembled state leaves much to be desired. It is unlikely that it will be possible to weld a cauldron of fish soup on such a stove, and you will have to constantly monitor the kettle. Not the best design for a gas powered appliance. As they say in the reviews, you have to constantly come up with something so that the tile stands firmly and does not stagger. In general, a rather controversial model. On the one hand, it is compact, but given the fact that you will also have to carry a gas cylinder with you, the question arises whether such compactness is needed at all.

There were many brands in the USSR that can easily be called the best.Over time, most of them disappeared, but some remained, and the Pathfinder is one of them. This is a manufacturer of various tourist equipment, which previously had no competitors at all. Many years of work have allowed the company to develop its own technologies, and even if today you will not find any unique options, this portable stove can be safely called the most durable and reliable.

This model has a push-in connection and a special fitting for power supply from a propane cylinder. The coating is completely enamel, but as noted in the reviews, it is very durable and easily endures even the maximum load on the surface with cleaning products. Also noteworthy stand. It is not cast iron, but is made of a durable alloy that does not deform or peel off. This tile could well become the leader of our rating, but judging by the reviews, the brand is not particularly popular with buyers. He is not scolded, and most of them are even praised, but the lack of aggressive marketing does its job.

Any gas stove, camping or stationary, requires cleaning, and simple enamel or paint coatings often do not withstand intense friction with a metal sponge. The most durable material in this regard is ceramics, but it is rarely used on such models. Before us is the best stove, and its main advantage is a solid ceramic surface coating. This affected the overall weight of the structure, but significantly increased its service life.

And what is especially surprising, it practically did not affect the price. The tile costs less than one and a half thousand, that is, it is in an adequate price segment.Models of the same brand, but without ceramics, cost about the same. All in all, if you do a lot of outdoor cooking and your tiles are often attacked by cleaning and washing tools, definitely consider this option. Definitely the best in terms of work surface durability.

For many, the Belarusian brand Hephaestus is directly associated with gas equipment, which is not surprising, given the range of this company. The main focus here is household stoves, but there are also portable gas models, and even with two burners, which is a rarity in this segment. In fact, we have a full-fledged stove that can work from various sources. It does not have a collet connection, that is, you cannot connect it to a small cylinder, but there is a universal fitting that allows you to connect to a propane cylinder and even a household pipe.

The advantages of this model, as, indeed, of all Hephaestus products, include the strength and reliability of the enamel coating. It is easy to clean, does not scrape off with metal sponges and does not fade. This is the most durable stove that can be used both outdoors and at home. The design has all the necessary tolerances, allowing it to be installed as a stationary option.

The Russian brand Druzhba is rooted in the distant Soviet past, and once it had practically no competitors in the local market.Today, the palm has been lost, and it is very difficult to fight with eminent foreign brands, but if we consider portable gas stoves, we see quite worthy options, with their pluses and minuses. Let's start with the benefits. This camp stove can be connected to any gas source. There is both a collet connection and several fittings. Yes, the option is not new, but the model can even be powered by a household source, and now this is already a rarity.

As for the shortcomings, they are often written about in reviews. First, weight. The plate is quite heavy. Second, the case. It is not durable and reliable, made of cheap plastic, and fasteners quickly fail. The price is also not particularly encouraging. Not the highest on the market, but for the money there are more worthy options. In general, the model has few specific advantages, but it can be used at home as the main stove. Whether there is a need for this, and whether the option can be called an advantage is very difficult to say.

In Russia, the Kovea brand is probably known to everyone who has ever visited a tourist shop. The company has a lot in its arsenal and portable gas stoves, which differ both in price and in functionality. Before us is a simple tile, not enough stars from the sky. An ordinary model that perfectly copes with its tasks and, judging by the reviews, is durable and reliable.

It will be pumped up exclusively to a portable cylinder, that is, it has a collet connector. There is no fitting in the kit, and it will not work to power the tile from a large cylinder through a hose. But often they talk about the economy of the model.One spray is enough for about 5 hours of work and this is the best result among similar options. There is also an electric ignition, and the manufacturer focuses on it, although you won’t surprise anyone with this function for a long time, and even simpler and cheaper analogues have it. In general, the stove is praised a lot in the reviews, but here we are more likely talking about the brand as a whole, and this particular model is no different.

In reviews of various portable camping stoves, buyers often wonder where the price of several thousand comes from. In fact, this is a primitive device that simply sprays the gas entering it, nothing more. If you do not want to overpay, and are looking for the best price for tiles, then it is in front of you. This is the cheapest model, and there really is nothing to be expensive. A simple device that can be connected to any gas source.

The tile has a fitting and a connector for a pressure gauge. The intensity of burning is regulated by one lever, and the dishes are supported by a triple blade of steel. As they write in the reviews, the petal is not deformed and is quite durable, and this aspect is considered the most sore point of such portable tiles. For the money, this is definitely the best option. Yes, it does not differ in decorative attractiveness, but it copes with its main, and in fact, the only task perfectly.

In most cases, a portable gas stove looks like a regular household model, except for its compactness. But there are also quite unusual options, like the one in front of us. This is a kerosene gas, very compact design.In fact, one bed with a triple holder of dishes. Not the most convenient option for cooking. You will have to constantly monitor the balance. But it is definitely the most compact, but only if we consider it separately from the cylinder.

The tile is connected to a stationary cylinder. It has a fitting and a pressure gauge on a flexible hose, but it cannot be connected to a portable cylinder, but this cannot be called a minus either. The model is designed for tourists who have a gas tank in their arsenal, and there is no need to talk about fuel consumption here. The regulation of the intensity of combustion is very extensive. Also, do not use this option for heating. The instability of the structure does not allow it to be left unattended for a long time.

The joint Russian-Korean brand Tourist positions itself as a manufacturer of premium class equipment, and we will take the liberty of noting that this is more of a publicity stunt. Firstly, the price segment here is quite democratic, and secondly, despite the wild popularity among buyers, such tiles are called in the reviews as the best combination of price and quality, but they note that there is nothing outstanding about them.

Yes, the company pays a lot of attention to the appearance of the product. Nickel and chrome are harmoniously combined with smooth lines, but this does not affect the design in any way. It is important to look at the technical side, and it is quite worthy here. For example, one cylinder, from which the tile works, is enough for about 4 hours of work. Not the best result, but adequate for such models and quite familiar. There is an electric ignition and a suitcase for transportation. And even a fitting for connecting to large capacity cylinders.There is not only a hose that will have to be bought separately, but this is also the norm for such products. In general, a great option for your money.

Judging by the range of stores, Kovea is the best-selling and therefore popular brand on the Russian market, producing travel accessories and portable gas stoves. It has a huge number of different models in its arsenal, but this tile received the most positive feedback, and this was the argument for placing it in such an honorable place in our rating.

The advantage here is high efficiency. On a single propane tank, this camping stove lasts up to 5 hours, which is a very impressive result. In addition, in its configuration there is a special fitting that allows you to connect to any liquefied gas cylinder. But there is no hose in the kit, and if you plan to power it from a third-party source, you will have to immediately take care of buying it. There is also electric ignition, but considering all models of such stoves, this aspect cannot be considered an advantage, since it is present on all models, even cheaper ones.
