Outwell Appetizer 2-Burner Gas Stove

The Outwell Appetizer 2-Burner gas stove has a compact, easy to use design that’s both functional and sleek, and strikes a fine balance between portability and performance.

First off, the size is spot-on for camping trips. It’s a lightweight, no-fuss two-burner stove that’s great for families or solo campers who like a bit of cooking variety. Weighing in at just under 4kg, it’s easy to carry, and it won’t take up too much space in your car.

Once it’s set up, which literally takes a few seconds, you’ll find two decent-sized burners capable of accommodating pots and pans up to 24cm in diameter. This is fantastic for whipping up your famous campfire fry-up or a hearty stew after a long day of hiking. The individual controls for each burner mean you won’t end up scorching your sausages while the beans sit cold.

Ease of Use

No need for an engineering degree here, the Appetizer 2-Burner is straightforward to set up. A simple connection to a standard gas canister is all it takes to get things cooking, and you’re ready to go. The adjustable flame control is a breeze, letting you fine-tune the heat to avoid burning your food (unless you’re a serial food incinerator, in which case no stove can help you!).

One feature we particularly liked was the easy-clean drip trays underneath the burners. After a day in the wild, the last thing you want is a stove caked in grease. Thankfully, a quick wipe and it’s good as new, ready for the next meal.

Any Drawbacks?

While there’s a lot to love about this 2-burner, there are a few minor things worth mentioning. Firstly, while it’s got ample power to boil water and fry up a decent breakfast, the wind can be a bit of a challenge. Unlike larger stoves that come with built-in windshields, the Appetizer is open, so on breezy days, you might find yourself having to turn up the gas a little higher to compensate. A simple workaround would be to position your stove in a more sheltered spot or invest in a small windshield.

Secondly, it’s built for regular camping trips, but the lack of auto-ignition means you’ll need a trusty lighter or matchbox on hand. Not a dealbreaker, but something worth noting for those who prefer instant fire.

Our Verdict

All in all, the Outwell Appetizer 2-Burner is an affordable, and practical stove that will meet the needs of most campers. Its simplicity, ease of use, and portability make it a great choice for both short trips and extended adventures. Yes, it may have a couple of quirks, but for the price point it’s hard to beat.

So, if you’re looking to upgrade your camping kitchen without blowing the budget, this little gem is definitely worth considering.
