{"id":3254,"count":56,"description":"These are the stoves for weekend road trips and group experiences, ideal for parks, developed campgrounds, and tailgating. Nomadic lifestyles and the surge in families heading to national parks has this category on the rise and options have grown considerably in the last few years. That said, today\u2019s car camping stove is not what your parents\u2019 ferried around in the back of the Riviera wagon. They\u2019re slim, engineered with precision, and ultra-portable. <\/span>\r\n\r\nThis year\u2019s test includes four, two-burner options. Three reflect traditional, rear-hinged case designs while another, the Jetboil Genesis, offers camp chefs an original take on portability. Two of the test subjects rested on folding supports while the others are designed to be placed on a flat surface. The features varied widely, giving us a good cross section of what\u2019s available in the market. <\/span>\r\n\r\nAn emerging feature in the car camping stove category is the ability to adapt to multiple fuel types. While this category is traditionally synonymous with bulky propane canisters, two of our products can connect to the same isobutane canisters one would use with a backpacking stove like the MSR Pocket Rocket. <\/span>\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s also a clear effort being made on the part of product designers to appeal to a buyer who cares about campsite aesthetics as much as they do the functionality of their gear. The well-funded, Instagram-savvy camper is no-doubt on the mind of today\u2019s equipment manufacturers. However, there still needs to be a dependable cooking tool underneath the sleek designs and emerging feature stacks of the modern car camping stove. Thankfully, that seems to be the case. Stoves were tested in snowy parking lots and breezy high desert campgrounds, cooking for as few as two and up to 20 hungry souls. <\/span>\r\n\r\nStoves were examined along the way for their durability, wind resistance, ability to simmer, and how well they packed. Weight and portability is a concern, of course, given that they often have to be lugged back and forth from garages to the car and then from the car to your camp kitchen. <\/span>","link":"https:\/\/gearinstitute.com\/hiking\/camping-stoves\/car-camping-stoves\/","name":"Car Camping Stoves","slug":"car-camping-stoves","taxonomy":"category","parent":2560,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Best Car Camping Stoves | Reviews and Buying Advice | Gear Institute<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our experts extensively field-tested the best Car Camping Stoves of the year and rated the best based on transparent, objective criteria.
