Single Burner, Double Burner or Electric Griddle?
The best camping stove depends on how you camp and how often you plan to cook on site. For weekend trips, touring, or quick meals, a compact stove is often the easiest option. If you’re cooking for a family or preparing full meals on site, it’s usually worth choosing a stove that gives you more cooking space and flexibility.
It’s also important to consider what type of fuel and connection you’ll be using. Many campers use gas stoves for convenience and portability, and it’s always worth checking what fittings are required before travelling. If you camp mainly on sites with electric hook-up, an electric cooking option can also be useful for simple meals.
Single Burner vs Double Burner Camping Stoves
If you’re deciding between stove types, the main difference is how much cooking flexibility you want.
Single burner camping stoves are a great choice for:
- Touring and short trips
- Compact cooking setups
- Smaller tents and campervan breaks
They’re ideal for simple meals, boiling water, and cooking in a single pan at a time.
Double burner camping stoves are better suited to:
- Family camping
- Longer stays
- Cooking two items at once
With two burners, you can cook more efficiently and prepare proper meals on site without constantly swapping pans around.
Electric Griddles for campsite cooking
Electric griddles are popular for campsites with hook-up, especially for family camping and longer breaks. They offer a convenient way to cook meals without relying fully on gas, and they can be particularly useful for breakfasts and quick campsite meals. If you regularly stay on sites with electric, it’s a handy option to have as part of your setup.
