Campingaz Chef Folding Double Burner Stove and Grill
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Campingaz Chef Folding Double Burner Stove and Grill takes second place in this guide. It is a folding gas cooker with two burners and a grill tray, listed at £62.95 with a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 3,292 reviews. It runs on Campingaz R907 or R904 cylinders, with a stated runtime of 14 hours on the larger and 8 hours on the smaller, at a gas consumption of 327 g/h. Open it measures 60 x 40 x 35 cm; folded, 59.5 x 32.5 x 8.5 cm.
It is at number two rather than number one because two numbers on the same listing do not agree. The specification table gives a "Maximum Energy Output" of 1.5 Kilowatts. The bullet text above it describes two 1.5 kW stainless steel burners plus a 1.5 kW downward burner — three burners at 1.5 kW each, which is 4.5 kW in total. The weight repeats the pattern in miniature: 3.99 kg in the specification table, 4 kg in the bullet. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this model. We have not tested the stove ourselves, so where the listing contradicts itself we show both numbers instead of choosing one.
