Double Burner Camping Stoves for Family Camping
Double burner camping stoves are a great choice for family camping, longer stays and anyone who wants to cook larger meals whilst camping. With two burners, you can cook more efficiently, for example boiling water while cooking in a pan, which makes it much easier to prepare proper meals rather than relying on one-pan cooking every time.

Double Burner Camping Stoves for Larger Meals
If you regularly cook on the camp site, a double burner camping stove can make a big difference. With two burners, you don’t need to constantly swap pans around or wait for one item to finish before starting another. For many campers, especially on longer trips, this is the point where campsite cooking becomes far less of a chore.
A double burner gas stove is also popular for awning setups, particularly when paired with a cooker stand or camping kitchen unit. Having a dedicated cooking area helps keep the pitch tidy, keeps equipment off the ground, and makes meals easier to manage, especially in wet weather or on busy family trips.
Why choose a 2 burner camping stove?
A 2 burner camping stove suits a wide range of trips, but it’s particularly useful if you want to cook full meals while camping and prefer a setup that feels more like home.
A double burner stove is a good choice if you want:
- the ability to cook two items at once
- a better setup for family camping meals
- more space for pans and kettles
- a stable stove for regular campsite cooking
- the option of a 2 burner camping stove with grill (on certain models)
If you’re camping for several days or more, being able to cook more efficiently often makes the whole trip run smoother.
Double burner camping stoves with grill
Some models include a grill plate or built-in grill, which gives you extra flexibility on site. A double burner camping stove with grill is useful if you like doing breakfast-style meals or want a bit more variety beyond boiling and simmering. For many campers, it’s a handy upgrade that saves bringing additional cooking equipment.
If you’re considering a stove with a grill, it’s worth checking the layout, some stoves have two burners plus a central grill area, while others include a separate grill plate.
What to look for when choosing a double burner camping stove
Not all double burner stoves are the same, so it’s worth comparing a few practical details:
- Cooking space – enough room for two pans side-by-side
- Heat control – useful for cooking more than basic meals
- Stability – important when using larger pans or cooking outside
- Grill option – some models include a grill plate for added flexibility
- Packed size – double burner stoves take up more room than compact models
- Gas connection – check what fittings are required before travelling
If you want a stove mainly for quick trips and hot drinks, a smaller option may be enough. But if you’re looking for a reliable family camping stove, double burner models are usually a better long-term choice.
Double Burner Stoves FAQs
Can I use a double burner stove inside a tent or enclosed space?
No. You should never use a gas camping stove inside a tent, campervan, awning, or any enclosed indoor space. Gas stoves produce carbon monoxide, which is colourless, odourless, and can be fatal in poorly ventilated areas. There is also a serious fire risk. Always use your stove outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
What is the safest way to set up a double burner camping stove?
Set the stove on a flat, stable, non-combustible surface and keep it well away from tent walls, windbreaks, or anything that could catch fire. Keep flammable items (such as cooking oil, gas canisters, or aerosol cans) away from the stove, and ensure children and pets are kept at a safe distance while cooking.
What type of fuel do double burner camping stoves use?
Most double burner camping stoves run on either butane or propane, depending on the model. Butane is commonly used with smaller canisters and tends to work best in warmer conditions. Propane (often in larger bottles) is generally more reliable in colder weather and at higher altitudes.
What if the piezo igniter stops working?
Piezo igniters can sometimes fail, especially if they get damp or dirty. It’s a good idea to carry a backup ignition method such as waterproof matches or a lighter, so you can still light the stove when needed.
