Propane Camp Stoves

Our pick

Camp Chef Everest 2X

Choose the Camp Chef Everest 2X for cooking camp meals on a tabletop stove.¹

Why this one

Two burners let you cook a main dish and a side at the same time.¹
Built in ignition means one less separate lighting tool to reach for when starting dinner.¹

Read the review

Before you buy: Plan for a table or other suitable cooking surface; this is a tabletop stove.¹

Other contenders

Camp Chef Pro 60X
Choose the Camp Chef Pro 60X when you need a stove with its own standing support.¹ Its foldout side tables provide a place beside the burners for cooking supplies.⁶
Coleman Triton
Choose the Coleman Triton when you prefer less weight to carry and can bring a match or lighter.¹

For cooking with or without a table

A stove that supports both standing and tabletop setups gives you a choice of how to arrange the camp kitchen.² The Camp Chef Explorer 14 offers freestanding or tabletop use; it has no push-button ignition, so bring a separate lighting tool.²
