gas furnaces that burn liquefied gas have always been the mainstream in outdoor stoves due to their clean, efficient fuel and relatively high safety. In the huge family of gas furnaces, various uses and types can be distinguished according to different positioning and use scenarios.
But does all kinds of stovetop cause you to have selection difficulties ?
It doesn’t matter. Based on years of experience in using it, I have screened out a group of the best in the gas furnace industry for you. Among them are both popular outdoor circles and unpopular treasures that you have never heard of.
This article ranks and scores the excellent and distinctive furnaces on the market. The total score of each item is 10 points, and the full score means the highest evaluation in this ranking. Of course, rating ranking is secondary, and is the key to recommending grasses.
bar statement, this ranking is based on the accumulation of personal stove usage experience, not strict evaluation results, and are for reference only. If you know more and better furnace heads, or if you don’t see the one you like most in the rankings, please share it with you in the comment section.
In addition, this article introduces that the stoves are all gas stoves and do not involve furnace products such as wood stoves, alcohol stoves and oil stoves. If you are interested, we will talk about it one by one in the subsequent articles.
Best lightweight integrated furnace TOP5
Weight is of great significance in backpacking hiking on your own, and the lightweight and portable integrated furnace was born. If you are planning a multi-day hiking or technical climbing, don't miss this wave of recommendations.
Advantages: There are very few stoves on the market that can store the bottom of the air intake tank.
Disadvantages: old-style stove plate, and in order to achieve the above advantages, joint strength is worth worrying. The birth of
Crux has a clear goal: to utilize the bottom space of the gas tank that cannot be used well in normal times. The designer achieved the 90-degree "head down" of the stove by adding a ball structure and locking structure to the bottom of the stove. The final effect is shown in the figure and the stove has flattened.
Crux has a lotus-shaped stove, which achieves a larger flame coverage area through a smaller stove. Although this kind of stove is good at cooking, its wind resistance is much weaker than that of the popular inner stove.
If you have your own windproof method, don’t care about the windproof nature of the stove plate itself; like the characteristics of the lotus stove plate that can heat the bottom of the pot evenly; and want to experience the unique storage method. Then try Crux!
Advantages: can almost be said to be the smallest and lightest gas furnace. These two points are enough to make it on the list, not to mention that it is only less than 100 yuan for all titanium manufacturing.
Disadvantages: All titanium is a selling point and a disadvantage. pure titanium is a scaffold that is not strong enough to deform. The weight of
5g is its biggest selling point, which is 1/3 of the average weight of the mainstream top furnace. Before you read the following drawbacks, remember that it only weighs 1/3 of the other stoves on the rankings, so please be tolerant of its drawbacks.
The so-called sword is a deviation, and the extremely light weight will naturally be sacrificed in other aspects, which leads to its disadvantages. The first is that the support is insufficient. Pure titanium gives it light enough weight, but any pan over 2L will likely bend its bracket during use.
In addition, the furnace plate structure is not reasonable enough, and the gas cannot be fully slowed down to burn, resulting in the combustion efficiency being lower than the standard value of the portable stove. The flame is also too concentrated, similar to spray gun . Apart from boiling water and boiling the soup, there are not many things to do.
It has accompanied me to Ali ,Gang Rinpozi.Cook noodles, porridge and milk tea for the 5 of us. Although its brackets have slightly bent on the road, overall it has done its job and is still a qualified backup stove.
Advantages: The most convenient bracket is stable and fast to expand and store. The annual excellent bracket design is the only one.
Disadvantages: is not light and has a small body shape, so it looks particularly pressing when holding it in your hands.
000 watts of power, all stainless steel creates an integrated furnace body, a shiny concave fire split disc, and a unique bracket. Friends who are first to use it will feel that the small stove in front of them is exquisite but not light. The weight of 81g is considered medium-level, and it feels solid when combined with the smaller body shape.
4 10.5cm diameter four-legged bracket provides sufficient stability after expansion. The folding of the bracket part is also a unique design, with expansion and storage within seconds, making it the only top furnace that gets 10 points in ease of use.
inverted stove is also a popular style in recent years, providing it with good wind resistance.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, the lack of the popular microcontrol valve in recent years is the reason why it cannot compare to the big brother Sod310. But if the area where you are often active is not cold, microcontrolled valves are not considered a necessary component.
Advantages: windproof, voltage stabilization, integrated bracket, comfortable igniter , all you want.
Disadvantages: 's only disadvantage is that the bracket design is a little bit bad.
MSR Luxury Rocket is a product that has changed my hiking habits.
In the past, I had the impression of lightweight integrated furnaces as lightweight, but low applicability: I can't use windshield , which means you have to look for leewards to cook on windy days; without a preheating pipe, there is no way to put the air tank upside down like a split gas stove, which means it will not work properly when it is cold.
But the appearance of the luxury rocket changed everything. It comes with wind protection. If you don’t say that you commit crimes against the wind, you can work stably by finding a place that won’t make people uncomfortable.
pressure stabilizer valve gives it a stable firepower in cold weather or when the air tank is about to be used up, plus a casual ignition device, which makes the other split furnaces in my hand no longer smell good at all.
bracket is the biggest disadvantage of luxury rockets. This double-axle support that continues from the previous generation of the Rockets can be said to be obviously unacceptable to the local environment. First of all, when folded, there was a foot that could not fit perfectly into the furnace body, and it was blocked by the unique igniter of the third generation.
Secondly, during the two years of use, I almost turned the pot twice: if you move the bottom of the pot while you are cooking, you may have a certain foot tied.
If you let go of the pot without realizing it, the offset foot will not be able to provide support and turn the pot inverted. The solution is to lift the pot completely every time you move it, and don't move it against the stove.
Advantages: Windproof, voltage stabilization, igniter, stable bracket, perfect.
Disadvantages: comes with a triangular bracket, and it is more troublesome to install the split bracket.
Soto, a piece of equipment that breaks the rules of the game, can almost be said to be the head of a generation of internet celebrities in the hiking circle. I always joke with others that Feng Shen asked me to eat ashes in the stove. It is no exaggeration to say that for many days of hiking, most of the people in the camp are carrying Fengshen.
windproof, low temperature protection, and you are not afraid of insufficient remaining gas in the gas tank causing the flame to become smaller.Moreover, because Fengshen has excellent mixed oxygen design, the bracket can be reduced to a very low level, and the bottom space of the pot can still be burned efficiently. This makes it the one with the strongest windproof among the players among the inward furnaces. In addition, the four-corner bracket is wide, flat and stable, providing support far exceeding the requirements of the integrated furnace.
The only problem with may be that the bracket is detachable, which is a bit troublesome. In addition, the igniter position is not as comfortable as the MSR Luxury Rocket.
Best card furnace TOP5
Compared with those split high-power gas furnaces, card furnaces are more suitable for daily use and family camping. Because this stove is frequently used and has a dirty and tiring job, this ranking pays more attention to the ease of use and durability of the card furnace.
Whether you are traveling with a couple, taking children and elderly people to have a picnic in the park, or having friends to have a party and camping, there must be a cassette stove here that suits you.
Advantages: is beautiful, has many accessories, can be DIY, and has high playability.
Disadvantages: firepower is too small, accessories are almost the same as the body, but it is not good-looking without assembly. The key to being on the list is not practicality, but more about winning appearance. This is a fun stove, you can install mahogany panels, brass knobs and other accessories by yourself, but these accessories are not cheap.
The biggest disadvantage of is that the power of 1600 watts is already lower than the lower limit of the use of the cassette furnace. So if you want to cook with it, you will find that making a dinner for 2 people is also difficult.
has not considered wind protection at all in the design, and needs to be solved by accessories. With its very low power, the outdoor level 2 wind cannot even boil water. Why is
recommended? Because of its special positioning, the style and appearance brought by the peach wood accessories make it very suitable for making tea, water and coffee. Cube has always been serious about her appearances for afternoon tea.
Advantages: 100w high power, pulse ignition, automatic rekind, with heat conduction plate, double-layer windproof bracket, relatively cost-effective.
Disadvantages: needs to be installed, and it is embarrassing to lose power outdoors.
Jinyu is a domestic brand, an unknown brand that provides stoves for major grilled fish stores and baking restaurants. Now that the domestic cassette furnace is generally around 100, the biggest reason why it can be sold for 200+ is the electronic pulse ignition.
The power of this ignition method comes from the AA battery at the bottom. The advantages are that it saves labor, saves time and has a high ignition rate.
In addition, the manufacturer has added a dazzling automatic rekind function to it. Once the flame is extinguished, the ignitor will automatically start and ignite the stove again. This feature ensures that gas leaks are not caused by the extinguishing of open flames, which is especially important when used indoors.
In addition, it has a heat conduction flake to ensure the sustainable use of the air tank at low temperatures. The inverted double-layer windproof bracket also gives it qualified windproof performance.
drawbacks also come from pulse igniter . The characteristics of installing a battery indoors are not a disadvantage, because pulse ignition itself is very power-saving, and the battery is not a big expense. But it is difficult for us to confirm how much electricity the battery in the stove has. We must bring a backup battery when going to camp. It will be embarrassing if it runs out of power.
Advantages: can be folded, with heat conductor, cyclone stove is cool, windproof and efficient.
Disadvantages: folding structure is slightly loose, the total power of 2450 watts is slightly lower as the main stove, and 1.4kg is not light.
Snow Peak GS600 has deservedly become an internet celebrity card furnace with its unique shape and eye-catching design. The volume that can be folded into a water bottle is its biggest highlight. Don’t underestimate this. It’s not only easy to pack your travel, but also does not take up space at home.
cast aluminum internal cyclone stove is another highlight. The light blue tornado cylindrical flame is beautiful, and it looks quiet and elegant when combined with the low power of 2450w.
is not very high power, and the internal cyclone furnace also brings an extremely high fuel conversion rate. After testing, its fuel utilization rate is 12.5%-25% higher than the average value of the cassette furnace.
Although it can be folded, it will not reduce the weight after folding. The weight of 1.4kg is particularly heavy with the size of the water bottle. Another disadvantage is this beautiful and efficient furnace. No matter how efficient it is, the 2450 watts of power firmly limits its upper limit.
If you often use a pot with a pot of more than 5L to make group meals, it is difficult to become the main stove.
cast aluminum characteristics lead to difficulty in cleaning. If you flip the pot onto the stove, the stain may remain permanently, remember to keep your pot while using it.
Advantages: , double-layer windproof bracket, high-quality storage box , high power, high efficiency and no false standards.
Disadvantages: is very tall and strong. It is placed in a thick storage box and takes up more space for storage.
CB-ODX is a cassette furnace specially optimized for outdoor use. Deliberate appearance details, unique color schemes, stronger wind resistance and of course higher prices. In addition to the standard model,
CB-ODX also has Mini models to choose from, with power of 3300 watts and 2300 watts, with a size difference of 1/3, weight difference of 1/3, and power difference of close to 1/3. The choices of these two models are the same as those of Xuefeng above. If you want to prepare a team meal of more than 10 people regularly, you should still choose a standard version of 3,300 watts.
But if you usually travel for families with less than 5 people, the square and flattering Mini model will be a good choice to improve the quality of camping. But no matter which one, it has super strong double-layer wind resistance and a removable bracket design that has been considered for cleaning.
This furnace has solid workmanship, outstanding appearance, economical and practical. If you want to talk about the disadvantages, I personally think that the biggest point of the groove is that the height exceeds that of the general card furnace. It is equipped with a dedicated tall and thick storage box, which is really taking up space when you keep it at home.
Advantages: The only cassette furnace with microcontrolled valves is the size of a palm after storage, and the folding structure is stable.
Disadvantages: does not have a gas tank compartment, and there is still a certain risk of hard connection with the gas tank. The ignitor is difficult to press and the windproof is poor.
major internet celebrity spider furnace can be said to be a special card furnace. It uses a long-air tank, but it is not a square typical card furnace appearance.
-2 people travel it can be used as the main furnace, with a power of 2900 watts easily capable of any cooking. It can be used as an auxiliary stove for 3-5 people, not because its bracket size and height are not suitable for carrying too large pots over 4L. With 6 people, it is also a very qualified water-boiling tea stove.
In the final analysis, it is because it is only the size of a palm after it is folded, and the weight of 350g is not burdened. With the addition of microcontrolled valve, small figure and high power, excellent appearance and workmanship, it is not surprising that everyone will remember to bring it with them.
Its bracket is relatively slippery and not large in size. Its support for the pot may be its biggest problem.The hot pot is very big and heavy, and the way a group of people stretches their chopsticks into it is indeed its nemesis.
Best Fire stove TOP4
Many friends do not have an accurate concept of power. Just looking at the numbers, you will think that 4000 watts should be twice as large as 2000 watts. In fact, in actual use, the power growth rate gradually decreases as the base increases.
000 watts can only make tea. It is easy to use for one or two people, but 3000 watts to 4000 watts is already a qualified household power. Up to 4,000 watts, it began to enter the nationally defined hot stove category. Yes, the rankings here are all the favorites of chefs and chefs in the outdoor camp, the hot stove!
Advantages: double-layer windproof, unique heightened design, air tank inverted embedded installation.
Disadvantages: The increased height of is not suitable for everyone, the installation of the air tank is a bit troublesome, and the redundant double-fire adjustment is used.
The domestic stove is making the turn, after all, the demand for hot fire on this planet may be the strongest. Huofeng As the leader of domestic outdoor stoves, the style is to seek stability and not radical, and the same is true in the field of fierce stoves.
You will find that other brands on the rankings are bullish stoves, with scary power, only Huofeng or a regular single lotus head. The advantage is naturally stability and energy saving, but the disadvantage may be that the data is not as good-looking as other furnaces on the list.
Fire Maple's Titan is only 4000 watts that have just passed, but its stand is stable and does not occupy desktop space. This is especially important in group activities. There are always shortage of movable tables with a large number of people. At this time, you need a stove like Titan that is placed on the ground without any care. And its gas tank is fixed to the bottom of the furnace and will not cause accidents.
But its height seems a bit awkward, the fully expanded height is 33cm. You have to bend over to cook on the ground, and even standing on the table can’t reach the pot. In addition, as a gas furnace, the two fire regulating valves are not very practical.
Advantages: 9800 watts of power destroys the world, has a very good wind protection, and is cost-effective.
Disadvantages: workmanship is relatively rough, and the catheter is too long and it is troublesome to store. What is the concept of
9800 watts? Their publicity is comparable to household gas stoves, which is too modest. The power of household gas stoves is generally between 3,000 watts and 4,000 watts, and the data of 20,000 watts is completely comparable to the hot stove in the restaurant kitchen. Many friends have never heard of this brand of
mountaineering team. This is a small manufacturer with relatively weak processing capabilities. Design and production are not the strengths of this brand, and cost-effectiveness is their main focus.
98 yuan priced at 9-head furnace should not be found. If you don’t mind the relatively rough workmanship and pursue large firepower and cost-effectiveness, the mountaineering team may be your No.1.
long catheters are troublesome at some times, but more often they will be your extra choice. In addition, it has to be said that wind protection is indeed very excellent. In addition to workmanship, there are also problems of excessive energy consumption and low heat conversion rate that multi-head furnaces face. But this is a common problem that fire stoves with more than 4,000 watts are all common, and will not be mentioned one by one below.
Advantages: domineering shape, infrared radiation furnace head, structure with higher utilization rate of small fire.
Disadvantages: has poor wind protection and slightly less suitability of the bracket.
The first to make a long furnace should be BRS, which is also a factory sold to North America for multiple brands. Its processing capacity and scale are strong. Compared with the mountaineering team's nine-head furnace, the price is not on the same level. If you add one, the price has increased by more than double.
BRS has better workmanship and a more design-like appearance. The furnace head's thermal efficiency is higher. Although the shape is a bit exaggerated, the storage volume has increased sharply, you have brought such a high-power stove to prepare food for more than a dozen people. You probably don’t care that it takes up more places for you, right?
Although the brand officially says that there are two ways to use the bracket, the compatibility with small pots is still relatively poor. Overall it is a more trustworthy brand and a more reliable stove.
Advantages: Firepower is nothing to say, easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Since it is more conventional, the cassette furnace seems to be very convenient.
Huofeng Qingtian is now very popular. Many bloggers on the platform are mainly promoting this stove, which is known as an indispensable member of self-driving travel. The charm of Qingtian is that it can choose to invert the air tank to achieve a 11,000-watt fire, allowing you to have an extra choice to eat in the cold weather.
Qingtian stands out among the terrifying fire stoves with its exquisite workmanship, conforming to the public's aesthetic, moderate storage volume and weight, and sufficient firepower. Huo Feng proved with practical actions that what can be used is the good thing.
Best integrated stove top TOP3
There is also a special stove that is suitable for Alpine climbing , which is the integrated cooking system. They are designed for the harsh and harsh hiking climbing environment above snow line . The fuel utilization rate, convenience of use and the strongest wind resistance brought by
high integration can all be the reasons why we love them. Fine cooking is not their strengths, boiling water, melting snow, and cooking are their stages.
Advantages: has high cost performance, bright colors, good workmanship, and all the functions you should have.
Disadvantages: The weight of 00g is still a bit heavy even in the cooking system.
X2 has a pot handle that is always high in water, and a lid with good applicability, which can store G2 gas tank. In addition, the Fire Maple marks the use volume, which means that the star X2 has a theoretical volume of nearly 1.3L.
X2 is my first all-in-one cooking system. Friendly price, beautiful appearance, solid construction, you really won't have any more demands on it except for the weight. But the only reason I didn't bring it often later. If you want to experience an all-in-one cooking system, the Star X2 is a good starter.
Advantages: is lightweight, high efficiency, strong handle, with igniter and micro-control valve.
Disadvantages: is priced high, and you can't expect too much windproof. There are many plastic parts, which poses a hidden danger of durability.
leads third place in the big score, which may be the power of money. The packaging weight of 355g is half of the star. Minimo has micro-controlled valves, extremely high fuel conversion rate, comes with an igniter and a solid handle, which can be said to have almost completely wiped out the problems existing in the previous generation of Flash.
Jetboil As the world's leading brand of windproof and heat collection system, they have always been serious about heat collection, but windproof is always acceptable. Minimo is no exception. There is no difference between wind resistance and stars. They are both small winds and strong winds, and they are discounted. You can easily be competent when solo alone, but you are a little overwhelmed in fighting extreme environments.
Although the weight of 355g is not much lighter than many solutions that match the pot and stove yourself, the improvement of fuel utilization and convenience of use is real.
If windproofing is not bad, then the use of a large number of plastic parts is the real problem you should consider. These plastic parts reduce their weight while limiting the life of Minimo. When using it, you should understand that this is a tool, not a work of art passed down from generation to generation.
Advantages: super windproof, numerous accessories lineups are luxurious, extremely high power and low efficiency.
Disadvantages: does not have an igniter, the feedback is not obvious enough when the flame is just ignited, so buying a full set is expensive.
must be surprised that the first place is not MSR's reactor ? Although the reactors have reached their peak in the field of melting snow and boiling water, the reason why the cooking system is called the cooking system rather than the snow and melting system is because they still have a lot of work to do. Reactors and the mountain master are fun, but there are not so many things you can do.
can be seen from the accessories officially launched to them. The choice of boiling water pots for reactors is a boiling water pot of various capacity, while Windburner can choose a boiling water pot, a ceramic non-stick pot and a heat collecting pot.
is obvious, MSR hopes that Windburner can fill the market gap in ordinary hiking camping enthusiasts using the cooking system. The truth is that they do, as long as you have a budget. The common problem of
Jetboil heat collection system is that the windproof effect is average, while MSR's unique sandwich pot bottom structure does not have this trouble. Whether it is a reactor or a Windburner, they can almost be completely windproof.
The strong wind on the top of the mountain is definitely you, not it.
Speaking of the disadvantages, Windburner's fuel utilization rate is not as high as Minimo, but it is above the average. The real problem is that it doesn't have a built-in igniter, which is not a problem with the general open stove, but on the cooking system you need to light the heat first and then screw the pot on. Not very friendly to girls who are afraid of fire or are more timid.
In addition, it is also mentioned above that although this set of things is powerful, it requires purchasing many accessories and is expensive. So a high enough budget is the first step to get to your full potential in Windburner.
equipment is changing with each passing day and iteratively high-speed today, too many excellent furnaces cannot be included in one article. Based on different usage habits and usage scenarios, I believe you also have the TOP5 in your heart. Please recommend it to everyone in the comment area!
