CAMPINGAZ Camp Bistro Elite Cooking Stove with Carry Case, 2200 Watt Camping Stove, Compact Portable Outdoor Gas Stove, Single Burner Stove, Camping Equipment, Blue, One Size

Product Information

Enamelled pan support offers easy cleaning, the Campingaz Camp Bistro Gas Stove is pretty light and durable. The Bistro Elite, like many of its counterparts in this range, does suffer in windy conditions as the burner ring sits up from the stove so wind can easily catch the flame. Using a windbreak shield or cooking in shetlered areas would help this. Can I use the Bistro Elite in extreme cold conditions? An update to the traditional alcohol burner style all-in-one camping stove, this stylish, super light design from Primus comes with a small but mighty 2000W piezo controlled gas burner that can boil a litre of water in just four minutes. And please do read the warning that follows. Some cheaper versions of these stoves can explode or set on fire. We’ve been getting a stream of scary stories from readers since posting Jim’s warning (see next). We put 500ml water in our camping kettle and timed how long it took each camping stove to boil it. We found that there wasn't much difference in most of the times we recorded.

There were one or two slow models, but most of the stoves got the kettle whistling after around five minutes. The Bistro Elite compares well against most other single ring stoves on the market and this is probably due to Campingaz's reputation for building well constructed and useful cooking platforms. Campingaz is a trusted brand in this niche and the Bistro Elite is a great example of a budget friendly stove that works well and performs as well as to be expected for it's price point. Value for Money 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Using a camping stove instead of your main gas cooker to save money isn't a good idea, as a camping stove is highly unlikely to be cheaper.

Specifications

Although it's convenient to have a speedy stove, you'll likely find most camping stoves heat at a similar pace once the flames get going.

We put the Bistro Elite through our rigorous testing criteria to evaluate it's overall performance and functionality, design and construction, our own user experience and value for money and overall, the Bistro Elite performed well across all categories and excelled in Value for Money giving them a 4 out of 5 fireside rating. Under the Microscope - Our Testing Criteria Benchmarks There’s no cover on the Camp Bistro, which is a bit of a shame, but as a single burner stove, it’s great. It does come with a hard plastic carry case, which is durable enough to last for years. Really well made, simple construction, it’ll work well on long camping trips. Weighs in at just under 2kg. We compared the brands’ published boil times with our own experiences and generally, as we suspected, the cheaper the design, the longer it took to reach temperature. The testing of stoves also happened to coincide nicely with our testing of the best camping food – we ate thousands of calories so that you don’t have to. It's performance would be hampered in windier conditions as there is no integrated windbreak so you would need to consider the environment you were planning to cook in but it performs incredibly well as a car camping stove to make a cup of tea or fry some eggs in!

Will my meals require more than one burner? Even if you're camping solo, you should think through the meals you'll want to cook and how many burners you normally use at home. If you aren't keen on one-pot meals, you'll probably need a stove with at least two burners. It takes plenty of twigs and you need to add more twigs every few minutes but keep the fire roaring and, if you fill the red pouch on the side with water, as it heats the built-in thermoelectric generator with USB connector can turn the heat into electricity and top up your phone as you boil your supper.
