Gas Camping StoveCamping stoves come ready to work with a wide variety of fuel sources, but there are a few different kinds of gas camping stove that will get the job done. Of course, there are also a few different kinds of gas used. White gas, for instance, is a popular fuel source for camping stoves, but some stoves will also work with basic gasoline. Some stoves, of course, work with a wide variety of fuels, making them a versatile and useful option for camping.

Gas Camping Stove

What to look for when shopping for gas camping stoves.
  • Multiple Fuels – A stove that will work with white gas or gasoline is good, but a stove that will work with both, and more fuels besides is even better. Fortunately for you, many camping stoves will work with several different kinds of fuel, so if you don’t have easy access to one fuel, you might have access to another.
  • Weight – All stoves will do the same basic job of cooking your food, but many will weigh considerably more than others. If you’re going to be carrying that stove around, it’s in your best interest to try and find a lightweight gas camping stove, so that you still have some energy left over at the end of the day to cook your meal.

Best Gas Camping Stove

Some of the very best gas camping stoves to choose from.
  • MSR DragonFly - The DragonFly is a great little camping stove that runs on a few different fuels, including white gas, kerosene and gasoline. The whole thing weighs 14 ounces, or 396 grams, so it's not the lightest gas stove out there, but it provides excellent stability and packs down small when you're done with it, which are definitely things to appreciate in a stove. The DragonFly will boil water in approximately 4 minutes, depending on the specific fuel.
  • MSR WhisperLite - If you want a lightweight gas stove, this is about as good as you are going to do. At 11 ounces, or 311 grams it's a great little stove. It only burns one fuel, however, and that is white gas, so you do sacrifice some amount of versatility for that lightweight design. It will also boil water in roughly 3.9 minutes.
  • MSR XGK EX - The XGK's main feature is that it will burn just about any liquid fuel that you put in it, including white gas, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and more. It's a truly versatile stove. And at 13.2 ounces, or 375 grams it's also relatively lightweight. It also boils impressively quickly, at just 3.5 minutes. So the most expensive gas camping stove on this list, but also one of, if not the best.
