Camp Stoves

Camp Stoves covers burners for every kind of trip, from ultralight canister stoves for backpacking to two- and three-burner propane cooktops for the campsite picnic table, plus butane, liquid-fuel and wood-burning models. The range includes MSR PocketRocket and Reactor systems, Jetboil Flash and MicroMo, SOTO, Gas One butane burners and Coleman Cascade cooktops.

Fuel type is the first choice. Isobutane canisters are light and simple, but output drops in near-freezing weather, which is why pressure-regulated designs and liquid-fuel stoves like the MSR Dragonfly suit shoulder-season trips in Canada. Burner count and BTU rating come next: a two-burner such as the 22,000-BTU Cascade 222 lets you boil and fry side by side, while a single burner keeps a pack light. Finally, check fire rules, since wood-burning stoves are often banned during campfire prohibitions. Ultralight picks are in Backpacking Stoves, and trip planning is covered in backcountry camping in Canada.

Brands include Gas One, Fire-Maple and Odoland.

Camp Stoves: frequently asked questions

Can I use a camp stove during a campfire ban?

In British Columbia, a Category 1 campfire prohibition still allows CSA- or ULC-certified stoves that burn charcoal briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the flame is under 15 cm. Wood-burning stoves are not allowed, and look for the CSA or ULC mark on the stove itself, since not every imported stove carries one. Other provinces and parks set their own rules, so check the current order before you go.

Which stove works best in cold weather?

Liquid-fuel stoves such as the MSR Dragonfly keep pressure in the cold because you pump the fuel bottle by hand. Canister stoves lose output as the gas cools, though pressure-regulated models like the PocketRocket Deluxe and Jetboil MicroMo hold up better. For car camping in spring and fall, a propane two-burner is a reliable middle ground.

Is it safe to cook inside a tent or vestibule?

No. Every fuel-burning stove gives off carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell, and it builds up quickly in a tent, camper or other enclosed shelter. Cook outdoors in open air, and carry a battery-powered CO alarm if you sleep in a trailer or cabin with fuel appliances.
