| Pros | Affordable, fuel adaptor threads on easier than other stoves, windscreens are adjustable, compact dimensions | Efficient, durable, compact, has auto-ignition | Wind-resistant, powerful, even cooking, auto-ignition | Low profile, lightweight, auto-ignition levers are easy to use, handy carrying case and handles | Non-slip rubber feet for leveling, large cooking surface, durable metal latches instead of plastic |
| Cons | No auto-ignition, lower BTUs, small burners prone to hot spots | Cooks hot, ignitor is sometimes finicky | Unreliable burner regulators, plastic latches on front | Very pricey, not the most wind resistant | Struggles with the wind, not super powerful, on the heavy side |
| Bottom Line | If you just need something basic and don't want to strain your wallet, this is our favorite option | The stove works great, looks good, and comes at a reasonable price | A powerful, wind-resistant stove that cooks well, unless the internal regulators malfunction | If you're looking for a compact, foldable two-burner, this stove takes the cake on almost every front | Durable and generously sized, this stove is straightforward and has adjustable feet for uneven surfaces |
