Avora Basecamp Stove Pro

Lift the lid, drop in a canister, turn the dial. There's a click, then a blue ring, and dinner is twenty minutes away. It's the simplest piece of equipment you'll take, and the one you'll use every single trip.

In everyday use

It takes a standard 220–250 ml butane canister, which slides into the bay along the side and locks with a lever — no tools, no assembly, nothing to lose in the grass. The knob runs from a low simmer to full, so it handles a slow pot of something as readily as a fast boil. When you're done it goes back into its own moulded case and stacks flat in the crate. It will also run from a standard propane cylinder if that's what you have at the site.

What sets it apart

Butane or propane
Takes a 220–250 ml butane canister for portability, or connects to a standard propane cylinder when you're set up somewhere longer.

Ignition built in
Automatic piezo ignition — turn the dial past ON and it lights. No matches, nothing else to pack.

Overpressure valve
An overpressure protection valve is fitted, specified to release above 5–7 kgf/cm², eject the canister and cut the gas flow.

Locking canister lever
The canister lever has a positive LOCK and UNLOCK position, so it seats the same way every time.

Enamelled pan support
A four-arm enamelled support that wipes clean and holds a pan steady rather than letting it slide.

Carries in its own case
The moulded clamshell case is part of the package — the stove travels closed and comes out clean.

Why we chose it

There's very little to say about a stove that works, which is the point. This one lights on the first turn, simmers as well as it boils, takes either fuel you're likely to have, and closes into a case you can carry in one hand. Nothing about it needs learning. It's the piece of kit that stays in the crate between trips and is simply there when the light goes and everyone starts looking at you about dinner.

It does exactly what a camp stove should
I picked this up for weekend trips and it's become the thing that never leaves the crate. The butane canister slides in on the side and locks with the lever in a couple of seconds, no tools, nothing to drop in the grass. The piezo igniter has lit it on the first turn every time so far, which is more than I can say for my old stove, and that's handy when the light's going and everyone's hungry.

What I didn't expect was how well the dial handles a simmer. Low is properly low, so a pot of stew or rice behaves itself, and full power boils water quickly. The pan support is steady and wipes clean afterwards. I also like that there's an overpressure valve that cuts the gas and ejects the canister if things go wrong. Hopefully I never see it in action, but it's reassuring.

It all folds back into its own case, which carries in one hand and stacks flat with the rest of the gear. It also runs off a propane cylinder if you're set up somewhere longer, though the hose isn't included, and neither is any gas, so factor that in.

Four stars rather than five because it's a single burner. Cooking for a bigger group means doing it in shifts, which gets slow. For couples or small groups, though, it's easy to recommend, and for the price it's hard to fault.
