Best Camping Stove
Campingaz Twister CV Connect PZ
The Campingaz Twister CV Connect PZ weighs in at just 240g; it’s barely noticeable in your pack, but it delivers the kind of performance you’d expect from a much larger stove.
And at less than £30, this is a brilliant choice for solo adventurers, festivalgoers or anyone dipping their toes into lightweight camping.
What really sets it apart is Campingaz’s new Easy Clic Connect PZ system. Forget fiddly screw threads in cold fingers or low light – simply push the stove onto the cartridge, turn the lever, and you’re good to go.
The Dual Lock feature gives reassuring security, so there’s no second-guessing whether everything’s properly connected.
Performance is equally impressive. The 2,900W burner boils water in just over three minutes, while the push-button piezo ignition means no matches are required.
Add in precise flame control and foldaway pan supports, and you’ve got a compact, reliable cooking solution that punches well above its weight. In short, it’s affordable, ultra-portable, and brilliantly user-friendly – exactly what most campers need.
