1. Gelert Portable Gas Stove

When these originally appeared in the UK they were called uno gas stoves and made by Royal Leisure. However in recent years every man and his dog has manufactured them and so prices have plummeted so you can pick versions up from £5.99. Although they differ slightly in looks the performance is similar. They dont give out amazing amounts of heat but their big selling point is the cheap gas canisters they run off. They are also low lying and fairly compact making them safe to use without worry off the pan or kettle falling off. The are so cheap to buy it can be worth getting two rather than a double stove

Pros: cheap to run and buy
Cons: not actually a double stove!

 2. Campingaz Camping Chef

This design of this double stove hasnt changed in years because it works. Its robust and unlike other double stoves with grills it flattens down for storage saving space. Unlike cheaper camping grill it uses a ceramic grill element which gives more even heat and it probably the nearest you will get to cooking at home

Pros: ceramic grill, folds down & quality build
Cons: one of the more expensive grill options

  3. Kampa AlFresco Double Hob & Grill

This new double stove and grill combo came onto the market in 2010 and has become popular because of its relatively cheap price (from £35) and the fact hat it folds down in seconds into its own steel case. A number of other brands also make this design.

Pros: quick pack down design, good value
Cons: simple gas flame grill

  4. Campingaz Lagon Stove

What we like about this grill is it simplicity. For around £20 you get a simple but robust double burner that runs off butane or propane gas tanks. The lid can be used as a windshield or removed to save space. Each burner pumps out 2.2kw of heat and is adjustable.

Pros: simple and robust design
Cons: no grill & no auto ignition

Pros: quality design and unique griddle burner
Cons: expensive and cant do toast!

  6. Gelert Double Burner with Grill Lid and Piezo

Another long standing double stove design which has a very sturdy feel due to the fixed grill. The lid which protects the two burners also doubles as a 3 way windshield which is effective in keeping breezes away. Standard flame grill but can be purchased for around £50

Pros: sturdy design and effective windshield, piezo ignition
Cons: bulky shape and flame grill

  7. Wynnster Double Gas Canister Stove

What we like about this stove is that it runs off the small gas cartridges you would use with smaller hiking stoves. So for first time or occasional campers you dont need to purchase a gas tank and Regulator. However it does eat through the cartridges and so isn't a cost effective option for regulars campers.

Pros: no outlay for gas tank
Cons: large gas consumption & frost can develop on canister during extended use

Part of Colemans new propane powered range which means it will work in high altitude and also cold conditions. So if you are a hiker who loves to cook or a winter camper this is the stove for you! Gives out a whopping 6480 watts of heat power!

Pros: essential in winter, high power output
Cons: gas cartidges can be expensive

  9. Coleman Dual Fuel 2 Burner Stove

 Its not cheap (£110) but this stove runs off unleaded petrol which makes it cheap to run and youll have no problem finding replacement fuel. It also gives out a whopping 21,000 BTU's of heat which rivals most home stoves.

Pros: uses petrol, cheap to run & very easy to source
Cons: can be smelly

If you are looking for something you could throw off a cliff without problems look no further than this sturdy beast! Made from cast iron its simple but does what it says on the tin. Simple but will probably outlive you.
