Camp Stove recipes — FAQ

What can I cook on a two-burner camp stove?

Anything you'd make on a small home stove — skillet breakfasts, pasta, chili, stir-fries, quesadillas, tacos and boiled coffee. Use one burner for a hot pan and the other for a pot of water or a sauce; almost every recipe on this page follows that layout.

How much propane do I need per weekend?

A single 1-lb propane bottle runs a two-burner stove for about 2 hours on high, or 4-5 short cook sessions. For a 3-day trip pack two bottles; for a week bring a 5-lb refillable tank + adapter hose.

Do I need a special skillet for a camp stove?

Any skillet works, but a lightweight cast-iron or a hard-anodized aluminum pan holds heat better than thin nonstick over a camp burner. Keep a lid handy — it doubles cook speed for eggs, rice and one-pot meals.
