There’s something immensely satisfying about kicking back next to a crackling fire after a day of exploring.

Investing in a good quality camp stove upgrades the humble open campfire to a multi-purpose kitchen, heat source and drying rack all in a few easy steps. It also keeps your fire contained, meaning more sustainable and safe camping experience.

Here are our top picks for camp stoves.

Best for: Using inside a tent

Winnerwell Nomad ‘View’ Portable Wood Burning Stove – Medium
RRP $559
On Sale Now $465
View now

Our most popular stove. Full stop. It fits perfectly inside any Homecamp Bell Tent and is an easily manageable size for confined spaces. Use it as a heat source, stove top and drying rack. The Nomad ‘View’ Stove is so named because of the viewing window – large enough for fire gazing and creating that cosy campfire atmosphere.

Made almost entirely from 304 stainless steel, the Winnerwell Nomad Stove has excellent resistance to corrosion and rust, can withstand extreme temperatures and is easy to clean.

Creating a ‘hot-tent’

The Winnerwell Nomad Stove is a fantastic choice when creating a ‘hot-tent’ set up. We recommend using a Winnerwell Flashing Kit and a Winnerwell Double Wall Pipe Section in combination with your stove, which will protect your tent from heat as the flue exits your tent. Please also consider using a Winnerwell Fire Mat for added fire protection.

“I haven’t had a chance to take it camping yet, but have fired it up in my small work shed. Heated the place really well. Would highly recommend getting the oven and water jacket as well. I tested the oven with some dinner rolls and pies – baked perfectly. And having hot water on tap makes it easy. The complete set (stove, oven, water jacket) worked brilliantly.

Open-fire cooking with minimal fuss and no environmental impact, that’s the beauty of using a firepit when camping. The Homecamp Flatpack Firepit & Grill is one of, if not the best quality flatpack firepits on the market – made entirely from stainless steel for longevity, cleanliness and strength.

The kit packs down flat, comes with a stand alone grill and neatly stows away in the included bag. Because of its ingenious yet simple design, it can be set up and ready for you to start a fire in seconds.

This style of firepit and grill design is popular in Japan and Taiwan, where in-the-know campers have enjoyed the benefits of hassle-free, ‘leave-no-trace’ cooking for years. Simply stack some firewood in the firepit and let it burn down to coals, or use natural burn charcoal briquettes for a quicker meal.

Best stove accessory

Fireproof Mat – Carbon Fibre & Aluminium Foil
$59
View now

This really is a must-have when using any portable stove. Particularly when camping in hotter climates like Australia, where bushfires can ignite from the tiniest ember.

We strongly recommend that you use a Fireproof Mat with any Winnerwell (or any other make) stove in your tent or shelter. This Winnerwell Fireproof Mat measures 98 cm x 80 cm and is made from carbon fibre and aluminium foil. This mat can withstand temperatures up to 450c.

Simply place your mat underneath the stove to prevent sparks or embers that may escape when opening the door from contacting the floor in your tent or shelter.
