The Camp’Bistro DLX Stopgaz stands out for its safety system: the Stopgaz function automatically cuts the gas flow as soon as no flame is burning, for example when wind blows it out.
The Camp’Bistro DLX is the upmarket version of the Bistro range: the surface is made of durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel, and the flame can be finely regulated, an advantage for gentle simmering.
The Camp’Bistro 3 is a classic single-burner cartridge stove with 2200 watts, enough power to bring water to the boil quickly.
The Melko is a simple, single-burner metal gas stove for mobile use, meant for camping, picnics and the emergency kitchen.
In our review, the Campingaz Camp’Bistro DLX Stopgaz camping stove leads with 8.6/10 (safety pick).

The 4 models compared range from €19 to €45. Solid appliances are available even at the lower end; more features, better build quality or brand support cost correspondingly more. All prices are Amazon guide prices and may fluctuate.
More important than price are the core values that fit the intended use: size/capacity, power and (where relevant) noise level and power consumption. Every product page lists the verified data sheet values plus the honest compromises, so you can find the model that suits your household.
