Best Camping Stove: Coleman Classic Propane Stove

Coleman Gas Camping Stove | Classic Propane Stove, 2 Burner, 4.1 x 21.9 x 13.7 Inches

There can be few better smells than food being cooked on a camp stove, and this will be the case when you fire up and start showing off your culinary skills with the best camping stove we have reviewed, which is the Coleman Classic Propane Stove.

It has two burners which are both adjustable using the front dials, so you can set the temperature on each one independently. When using the two burners the stainless-steel grate has the capacity for one 12-inch pan and one 10-inch pan to be cooking simultaneously.

As the name suggests this camping stove is heated using propane gas and uses proprietary technology to reduce fuel consumption without reducing the cooking power which can reach 20,000 BTUs.

If the wind gets up there’s no need to be concerned about the flames being extinguished. The stove’s cover acts as a wind block to allow you to carry on cooking without being interrupted. After you’ve used the stove and closed the lid it is easily stored in your RV thanks to being only 5.5 inches deep.
