Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to larger propane models like the Camp Chef Explorer, the Gas One is far more compact and better suited for minimal packing. It competes with butane stoves from Odoland and BIG HORN OUTDOORS, but stands out for its integrated carrying case and additional safety features like an auto-shutoff if the flame goes out.

What to know before buying

1. Butane performs poorly in temperatures below 40°F; use propane or isobutane for cold-weather trips.
2. Always insert the butane canister correctly — the stove includes a bayonet-style lock for safety.
3. Use a windscreen in breezy conditions (the built-in burner head is somewhat wind-resistant).
4. Allow the stove to cool fully before storing it in the carrying case to avoid warping.
5. Regularly clean the burner jets to prevent clogging from food debris.

Sustainability & ethics

The Gas One butane stove is made with stainless steel and plastic components; the carrying case is reusable and protects the stove, extending its lifespan. Butane fuel is a non-renewable resource, so using a refillable adapter or choosing isobutane canisters can lower waste. The brand is not a B Corp but has a cruelty-free policy on this product.
