BOM gas canister stoves for camping

  • I don't sell any of these nor do I receive any remuneration if you buy them, and I have not personally reviewed all of them, they are listed here to give you perspective

Introduction

  • these gas stoves are those which are designed to run on high pressure propane gas from 468g BOM gas canister but often can also be used with LPG gas bottles via adapters

Using BOM canister on smaller non-BOM stoves

  • this may not be wise as smaller non-BOM stoves are generally engineered to be optimised for the lower vapour pressures of butane or butane/propane mixes
  • adapters for using BOM gas canisters with EN417 devices

BOM canister supports to reduce risk of tipping over

  • BOM canister are tall and if a stove is attached directly to the top there is a high risk of it and the pot on it tipping over
  • in Australia, they are generally sold with a removable thin black plastic base but this only allows them to stand upright - but do not do anything to reduce risk of tipping over
  • BOM canister support bases:

BOM canister gas stoves

No regulator arm required

Modular single burner stoves

Compact 2 burner folding stoves

  • Naturehike Double Burner Folding Camp Stove
    • pot / fry pan size is limited to 19cm diameter (not sure its a good idea to overhang the pot over the connecting gas tube)
    • packs to 23L x 15W x 28H cm 2.3kg; 2300W/16,000 BTU combined power output which may not suffice for your needs if you have to boil a large amount of water quickly;
    • compared to standard 2 burner LPG gas stoves which pack to much wider storage at ~59L x 32D x 11.5H cm 5kg or 62L x 36W x 13.5H cm for the 7.1kg Coleman HyperFlame but these have much more powerful burners at 12000 or 25000BTU per burner and the HyperFlame could take larger frypans

Require use of the rigid arm Coleman regulator

  • must use the https://www.snowys.com.au/2-burner-stove-regulator-assembly to connect to BOM gas and this can be a bit fiddly to connect to the BBQ and it annoyingly sticks out the side and can be damaged and you may need a 3/8“ BSP to POL adapter to connect to a POL bottle
    • may need a spare Coleman Propane Regulator Arm in case it breaks
      • metal is very soft (aluminum) and eventually strips out but should last over 100 camping trips
      • some have complained the regulator valve where the tank attaches can leak - perhaps a stuck pressure relief valve
      • make sure you don't lose the washer and it is not faulty
  • can be connected to 3/8” BSP LPG gas bottles via the BOM to 3/8“ BSP hose - these are usually included with the BBQ
  • can be connected to POL/LCC27 LPG gas bottles via a BOM to POL hose or BOM to LCC27 hose or with a 3/8”BSP to POL adapter - optional extra
  • cannot be connected to a LPG bottle with it's own regulator (eg. on caravans)
  • flat 2 burner BOM cartridge gas stoves
    • Coleman Triton Instastart 2 Burner Stove
    • Coleman PEAK1 High Performance 2 Burner Stove
    • Coleman HyperFlame FyreKnight Camping Stove
      • no side wind shields (has internal wind breaks around each burner) so can use larger pots and pans - could use two 32cm diam pans or one larger pan and one smaller pan
      • two 12,000BTU stoves; packs to 62L x 36W x 13.5H cm 7.1kg
      • great for boiling water or hot meals but not great for slow simmers as hard to adjust as only a quarter turn of knob from simmer to full
      • includes hose with a BOM to 3/8” BSP LPG bottle fitting;
      • optional grill plate with drip tray and optional carry bag
