A 1 plate gas stove is a compact cooking device featuring a single burner, ideal for camping, outdoor cooking, and small-scale food preparation. Popular models include the Coleman Classic 1-Burner Butane Camping Stove, which offers matchless InstaStart ignition, up to 7,650 BTUs of cooking power, and fits up to a 10-inch pan. It runs on an 8.8 oz. butane gas cylinder and provides up to 1.25 hours of burn time on high. The design prioritizes portability and easy cleanup with a removable porcelain-coated grate and hard-shell carry case[2][3].
Another option is the Carolina Cooker Single Burner Cast Iron Stove, designed for outdoor use only. It features a low-pressure burner, producing up to 15,600 BTUs, and is compatible with 20/30/40 lb. LP gas tanks. The cast iron construction, air adjuster bolt, brass on/off controller, and compact size make it suitable for picnics, camping, and family gatherings. Note: it’s exclusively intended for placement on noncombustible surfaces and is not compatible with natural gas[1].
The Camp Chef Explorer 1-Burner system delivers even higher heat output at 30,000 BTUs, with removable legs for easy transport. The heavy-duty design allows the use of various 14-inch accessories, making it versatile for outdoor kitchens and emergency cooking[4].
For more robust commercial needs, stainless steel 1 burner gas stoves—like those built for commercial kitchens—often feature durable cast iron burners, water resistance, and sturdy construction designed to handle larger pots and continuous use[6].
When choosing a 1 plate gas stove, consider the following:
- BTU rating: Higher BTUs deliver more heat and faster cooking; typical single burners range from 7,650 to 30,000 BTUs[1][2][4].
- Fuel type: Most portable models use butane or LPG; verify fuel compatibility for your intended use[1][2].
- Build material and durability: Cast iron and stainless steel options provide longevity and resistance to outdoor elements[1][6].
- Safety: Place only on noncombustible, level surfaces away from flammable materials[1].
- Portability: Weight and available carry case or removable legs can impact convenience when transporting the stove[2][4].
For purchases, check retailers such as Game, Walmart, or specialty outdoor stores for available brands, prices, and specifications.
