The Only Camping Stove Guide You'll Ever Need in Lebanon
Share
By CAMPassion — Lebanon's Camping Store for Gear, Rental & Event Supply
Choosing a camping stove sounds simple. It's not.
The wrong stove ruins a trip. Too heavy for the trail. Too small for the group. No wind protection at 1,500m in Ehden. Wrong gas connection for what you bought.
This guide cuts through all of it. Eight stoves. Eight scenarios. One clear answer for each.

More powerful than the featherlight, more compact than a full stove. The mini square sits in the sweet spot between ultralight and functional.

- 2800W output — boils 1 litre in 3-5 minutes
- Piezo electric ignition — one-click lighting

- Sage green body with natural wood control knob
- Piezo ignition — no matches needed

4. Best Stove for Families and Groups — Portable Butane Cassette Stove 2900W
Price: $25 | Best for: Families, groups, picnics, steamboat cooking
The most versatile stove in the range. Set it on any surface — camping table, picnic blanket, kitchen counter — and cook anything from Lebanese stew to steamboat.
Uses flat cassette butane canisters that slide in from the side. Safe, secure and effortless.

5. Best Stove for Wok Cooking — Portable Round Bowl Gas Burner
Price: $12 | Best for: Wok lovers, round pots, high-heat outdoor cooking
Standard flat stoves don't work well with woks or round-bottomed pots. This one does.
The curved stainless steel bowl naturally cradles round cookware and concentrates heat efficiently — making it the best stove for anyone who cooks Lebanese-style outdoors.
- Round bowl design — ideal for woks and curved pots
- Stainless steel body — rustproof and heat resistant
- 3 folding pot support wings — stable and compact
- Brass flow control valve — precise heat adjustment
- Direct canister mount — simple and lightweight
Not ideal for: Flat-bottomed pans — use the cassette stove or double burner for those.
→ Shop the Round Bowl Gas Burner
6. Best Stove for High Altitude and Wind — All-Weather Stove with Wind Shield
Price: $18 | Best for: High altitude camping, windy conditions, Ehden, Bcharre, Tannourine
Wind kills a flame. At 1,500m in Ehden or on the cliffs of Bcharre, a standard stove simply won't stay lit.
This stove has a built-in windshield and a flexible hose that keeps the canister away from the flame — solving both the wind problem and the cold-canister-pressure problem at altitude.
- Built-in windshield — protects flame in exposed conditions
- Flexible braided hose — canister stays away from heat
- Foldable pot supports — stable on uneven terrain
- Lightweight and packable — built for trail use
- Compatible with standard screw-top canisters
Not ideal for: Tabletop cooking at a picnic — overkill for calm conditions.

7. Best Stove for Group Cooking — Double Burner with Grill Plate
Price: $45 | Best for: Groups, family camps, cooking full meals outdoors
Two burners. A grill plate. A carrying case. Everything you need to run a proper outdoor kitchen.
Cook rice on one burner, grill meat on the other. This is the stove for the person who takes camp cooking seriously.
- Double burner — cook two dishes simultaneously
- Grill plate included — perfect for meat and vegetables
- Wind shield panels — stable flame in outdoor conditions
- Folding legs — sets up anywhere
- Carrying case included — easy transport
Not ideal for: Solo or ultralight camping — it's built for base camp setups.

8. Best for BBQ and Grilling — Portable Gas BBQ Grill
Price: $55 | Best for: BBQ lovers, events, group gatherings at camp
Sometimes you don't want to cook — you want to grill. This portable gas BBQ brings the full charcoal experience without the charcoal faff.
Piezo ignition, adjustable heat, and a proper grill surface — set it up in 2 minutes anywhere in Lebanon.
- Proper grill surface — real BBQ results outdoors
- Piezo ignition — no lighter needed
- Adjustable heat control — precise grilling
- Compact and portable — fits in any car boot
