With summer 2026 on the horizon, upgrading your camp cooking setup makes sense now rather than scrambling in June. The UK camping stove market has matured significantly, and whether you need a compact backpacking burner or a full-size double hob for family breakfasts, there is a well-engineered option waiting for you.
We have tested and compared stoves from Campingaz, Coleman, Trangia, Jetboil and Go System across real-world camping conditions — wind, rain and everything British weather throws at outdoor cooks. Here is what stood out.
Gas stoves remain the most popular choice for UK campers. They light instantly, simmer well, and the fuel is readily available at outdoor shops nationwide. The Campingaz Camp Bistro 3 continues to be a crowd favourite for its piezo ignition, steady flame and affordable cartridge system. For those wanting more power, the Coleman FyreSergeant 2-Burner offers 2x 10,000 BTU burners with independent controls — ideal for cooking bacon and boiling water simultaneously.
If weight matters, the Go System Fly weighs under 100g and screws onto standard EN417 canisters. Paired with a small pan, it is perfect for wild camping and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions alike.
Multi-fuel stoves burn unleaded petrol, white gas, paraffin or even aviation fuel. They excel in cold weather and at altitude where pressurised gas canisters underperform. The Primus OmniFuel II and MSR WhisperLite Universal both handle multiple fuel types with field-maintainable jets. If you camp in Scotland during winter or head abroad to colder climates, multi-fuel is worth the investment.
Families and groups benefit enormously from having two burners. The Campingaz Camping Kitchen 2 CV offers a robust pair of burners with a removable windshield and drip tray, while the Coleman Eventemp provides even heat distribution across both hobs. Pair either with a decent cookware set and you can serve a proper meal under canvas.
For hikers who want hot water fast, Jetboil systems are hard to beat. The Jetboil Flash boils 500ml in around 100 seconds with its integrated FluxRing pot, and the MiniMo adds simmer control for rehydrating meals. Trangia storm cookers, meanwhile, offer wind-proof cooking with either meths or gas burner inserts — a Swedish design that has barely changed in decades because it simply works.
