Why family campers need two adjustable 2 kW burners
Each burner produces 2 kW and push-and-turn controls allow fine flame adjustments, so pans reach boil quickly and gentle simmer is achievable. Precise flame control keeps simultaneous dishes cooking at different speeds without constant babysitting.
Rapid boil and steady simmer let users prepare breakfast and a one-pot dinner back to back, with removable pan supports that accept pans up to 24 cm diameter.
Why the fold-flat carry design is a standout attribute
Open lid geometry acts as a wind deflector and the steel lock secures the lid for transport, stabilising flames in exposed pitches. Side panels fold in and built-in grips let a single person lift the unit by hand.
Weighing 3.8 kg, roughly the weight of a 4 kg bag of potatoes, the compact folded profile balances easy carrying with a steady footprint on a picnic table.
Predictable run times – CV 470 Plus cartridge compatibility delivers consistent output
Gas consumption measures about 291 g/h and a CV 470 Plus cartridge gives an approximate runtime of 1 h 30 min under normal use, so cooking sessions of moderate length complete on a single canister. A hose and regulator are included for immediate hookup.
Consistent burn duration makes meal planning straightforward, though longer events require spare canisters and planned swaps, which will interrupt continuous service.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will a CV 470 Plus canister last during normal cooking?
A: A CV 470 Plus canister runs for roughly 1 hour 30 minutes at the stated consumption of 291 g/h, so expect one canister to cover a couple of standard campsite meals; keep spare canisters on hand for extended trips and change them on a stable surface away from open flames.
Q: Can the stove be used inside a tent or enclosed awning?
A: Gas stoves are not suitable for indoor use, so operate the cooker outdoors in a well ventilated area; position the unit on a level, non-flammable surface and use the lid as a wind deflector to keep flames steady.
Q: Does the cooker arrive ready to use out of the box?
A: The package includes a hose and regulator for Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridges, allowing immediate setup with compatible canisters, though sourcing spare canisters before a trip reduces the risk of mid-cook interruptions.
🏆 Our Verdict
The Campingaz Camping Kitchen 2 CV Stove suits weekend campers and small families who value a compact, two-burner set-up that is quick to deploy.
