QINGXI Portable Butane and Propane Camping Stove with Carrying Case, Precise Heat Control - Camping & Tailgating and Outdoor Cooking

I bought this as a back up for emergency situation but after examing it closely I've decided to give it as a Christmas gift to my son and his family. I've ordered a second one for myself.

I bought this for a two-week camping trip at a super reasonable price, less than $30. It lasted through the cold and rainy elements and only used about half a can of butane ($4) to cook average two meals a day. I'm impressed! I thought it might be a little cheaply made but it got the job done.

did not work right out of the package because the pipe that carries butane from the can to the aerator was disconnected. first time I tried to light it the flame was inside the stove. when I had daylight it was easy to fix and it has worked great since then. The plastic case that it came in was missing one of its latches and the other one fell off shortly after.

Excellent value! Heat has a tiny adjustment area and it gets turned off often inadvertently trying to set low heat. Also its surprising the can lock mechanism is seperate from off. It needs to be disengaged manually after turning off gas. it is a work horse and gets the kob done1! Quick cooling for storage. The plastic atorage box box won't last long though and the lid is fussy teying to align it to lock closed as the plastic material is not too rigid and it moves arount . I've so far only used butane cartridges. Lookjng forward to getting a propane setup to make things more economical.

I really like this portable camping stove. Be warned if using camping pots and kettle you may need to add a metal grate to the burner. Mine would not sit on the burner without it . Take a look at my photo to see what I mean. It came with 2 pieces that I have no idea what they are for. Instructions didn't say anything about it. Other than that I'm enjoying it. And would recommend and if needed would purchase again.

It's cheap, but that's it's price point. It will get the job done, but sounds like metal scrap shaking around in the box. Everyone should have one of these and some gas for an emergency.

I chose thi stove because it looked lower and more stable than the other low priced choices. It is very stable. I haven't tried it with butane yet,but with propane it is just on or off ,no adjustment of flame level at all. For 20 bucks it's ok for now. I'll be keeping an eye out for a little more upscale camp stove.

Propane adapter is not hose or valve just a nipple with no way to attach tank to have to purchase and regulator and jimmy rig to get to work if using butane perfect but the adapter for propane was very much lagging in that respect cooking wise heats up fast and steady.

Received the stove and it was all bent up, funny thing the plastic case was fine. I did a return and got my money back.

Well I liked the stove but ordered the butane with it and a couple months later still waiting for the butane to test it out.
