Camping stoves in the test: the best models at a glance

If you go on a camping holiday without a comfortable mobile home or a well-equipped caravan, you should equip yourself with a camping stove. With the portable gas cooker, you can prepare a hot meal at the campsite or on the next bike ride. The stove can also intervene for a short time if the stove in the house breaks down unexpectedly.

Modern camping stoves usually work with automatic piezo ignition, in which the gas is ignited with an electric spark. If not, they are put into operation in the classic way using a lighter or a match. If you want to use the camping stove mainly outdoors, you should opt for a device with automatic ignition. Because the piezo ignition offers the advantage that the gas stove flame can be ignited reliably even in bad weather.
