Stoves

The Survival Stove Head tool is a camping accessory that takes the idea of lightweight minimalism to the extreme, with the ability to turn an empty can into a cooker and doubling as a sharp knife to help prepare your kindling for mealtime.

Look quickly at the Home & Camp stove from some angles and you might think it's Snow Peak's latest vacuum-insulated tumbler. But it's actually a single-burner stove packed away inconspicuously inside a cylinder body.

A variety of innovative camping stoves have arrived recently, from the BioLite that turns heat energy into electricity, to the GoSun, a solar oven that can boil water in 30 minutes. The latest device making a play for campsites is the Morphcooker, a portable, battery-powered electric camping stove.

​​Almost seven years after introducing its clever wooden stove that generates its own power, BioLite has given its low-emission campsite cooker a makeover. The CampStove 2 also runs purely on wood but features an onboard battery to use the power at a later date.
