Though there are various stoves on the market that use various fuels, each with various pros and cons, at STATION13 we feel that gas stoves are amongst the best all round performers.  

The beauty of gas is that it is remarkably efficient, it is instant lighting, very clean burning, offers vastly superior flame control over other types of stove fuels, gas canisters are maintenance free, and gas is very clean and safe. These gas stoves employ screw on gas canisters (readily and widely available in the UK, EU and US) that automatically self-seal when removed from the stove, and unlike liquid fuels such as petrol and methylated spirits which have the potential to cause problems and/or damage from spillages or leaks, with gas any unburnt fuel simply evaporates - no mess!

Generally speaking the lightest gas stoves are of the type that screw directly to the top of a gas canister. This type is very light and very compact, but they are not the most stable stoves to cook on as the whole set up stands relatively high. This makes them more prone to being blown over by wind, easier to knock over accidentally, and if cooking in the tent entrance may put the flame closer to your outer tent material. Also, because the gas adjustment is made on the stove itself (above the gas canister but below your pan of hot food or water), it can be hot, fiddly and potentially hazardous to reach and adjust, unless you first remove your hot pot or pan.

With this in mind we much prefer lightweight gas stoves that employ a remote gas canister. This type of gas stove sits very close to the ground, with a low centre of gravity and relatively wide 3 leg configuration making it extremely stable. The gas adjustment is also made far easier as it is on the remote gas canister, so away from the hot stove itself. Considering that there is a stainless steel braided gas line between the stove and the gas canister, there is immediately a weight penalty over the stoves that screw directly to the top of gas canisters, but we feel the benefits of this type of gas stove outweigh the negatives and that the weight compromise is well worth making.

One feature we do like on gas stoves is the piezo-electric ignition. Yes this features adds a tiny bit of weight, but it does allow you to get cooking if your matches get wet, you've lost them or your lighter is out of gas... which we think is a massive plus!

This is little stove is extremely efficient delivering around 3.5kW of heating power and so it boils water and heats food every bit as fast as your stove at home. Made from stainless steel this great little stove weighs in at just 230g, and comes with its own plastic storage container.
