Companion Proheat Portable 2 Burner Low Pressure Stove
Verified2 reviews
I purchased the Companion 2 Burner Low Pressure Stove with FSD for connecting to a caravan. When comparing this stove with my old Coleman Cascade stove. The flame is more easily affected by the slightest breeze, it is much harder to clean and wipe down and it significantly lacks low temperature control. The only way I can cook eggs or rice with this stove is to use a simmer ring.
Edit- I have since pulled the unit down and have adjusted the fuel/air mix. I have rotated the adjustment approximately the width of the locking screw head for a slightly richer mix. This has improved function and usability greatly.

Companion Proheat 2 burner low pressure gas stove – I bought one of these early this year (2024) so we could use the gas bayonet on our camper and not have to carry an extra gas bottle for the stove. We used it for the first time about 2 months ago. So Pros, easy to light, has good heat so cooks well. Cons. Its bulky, the latches for holding the side panels and lid are absolute rubbish. You have to remove the trivet to use the latches. They are fiddly and hard to use. My 30 year old Companion camping stove has a much better design. Why they didn't continue to use a proven and effective design is beyond me. It also has lots of nooks and crannies perfectly designed to make it hard to clean. It has two burners the same size, however its hard to get a really low flame on them. It would be better with one big burner and one smaller burner. To sum up, pretty disappointed with it, but it appears that at the moment, its the only show in town.
