Camplux Dual Fuel Camping Stove :
Agenda Free Link : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
Colors : Blue and Black
Price : Blue is $35 and Black is $37 at the time of filming
Weight in Case : Right at 5lbs
Stove alone is around 3.5lbs
BTU’s : 7,200BTU
Measurement : 13 x 11.2x 3.14 inch
Fuels : 8 oz and 16 oz propane or 8.8oz butane cans.
Who Makes These : My suspicions is that there is one company who makes this stove for everyone else as there are countless companies who make models which look exactly the same.
Pros :
Runs on two types of fuel.
Does exactly what I have wanted it to do; turn on when I want it to and turn off when I want it to while being able to heat, boil and cook.
Price isn’t bad -but there are less expensive versions of this stove available; I can’t comment on the quality of those models but I may check one out in the future.
Easy to use
Small form factor
Great for camping, overlanding and even emergency use.
Very efficient - one can of butane lasted me almost 2 hours with a variety of cooking and boiling projects.
Good size burner allows for virtually any size pot or pan to be used.
Excellent output; I’ve never had an issue with boiling water for coffee quickly or with cooking a full fledged meal.
Ignition has always worked.
Cons :
Flimsy feelings and that goes for the stove and the carry case.
Gas connection area features a door which feels very cheap and never is fully latched shut.
While you can adjust the intensity of the burner, there is a rather large zone where you should be able to simmer but rather, the burner simply goes out.
The company claims that this stove has excellent wind resistance; that isn’t accurate in my opinion. If it is a windy day, I would suggest setting up some sort of wind block.
This product like many products on Amazon features a lot of fake reviews; according to review analytic sites, roughly 60% of the reviews are fake for this product which is obvious when reading them.
Summary :
Ultimately if you purchase this stove, this is what you are getting;
- a dual fuel stove for a low price
- a cheap flimsy build
- functional stove.
For the $35 that I spent, I consider it an excellent buy...if I paid any more the fit and finish of this stove would justify a refund but for $35, it’s just good enough. I purchased this in January and have used it dozens of times in all sorts of conditions; in the rain, in the snow and in very hot conditions. Never had a problem.
It should be known that there are more powerful versions of this stove out there; for an example, Gas One has a 15,000 BTU version of this stove which costs $60.

I have had 2 of these stoves stoves for years used exclusively when off roading in a Jeep, so it gets bounced around a lot and never had a problem. One thing you failed to mention is lighting the stove in the morning with butane for coffee when the temperature is below 32 degrees. You best have a bottle of propane with you because the butane won’t light below freezing.
For 35 an it duel fuel, that's a deal in my book, thx for the vid.
@TheOutdoorGearReview there is one more safety warning that was not mentioned. These stoves are to only have a 8 or 10 inch pot or pan area due to the fuel canister compartment area can over heat the butane or propane hose and cause a safety issue of explosion. What happens is that a larger cooking pot or pan will cover the fuel compartment and cause a tremendous heat build up. Great review as usual and thank you for your great content.
I love that you tested this for over a year before posting a review. Cheesy? Yes, a bit. But! Only $35.00 and proven to still work well after used for over a year. Great review!
For $35 and a dual fuel, that's a win in my book. If it were damaged, or somehow left behind, it wouldn't hurt too bad. Thanks for the review Luke!
When the power goes out in the house and you have a hot food and drinks
thank for your help
You are welcome brother just keep extra fuel on hand and safety first always
I'd be wary of using this as a power outage cooking option. It's not marked as being indoor safe, so unless you're willing and able to go outside to cook, it might be better to look at something else.
@@scott5913 as long as you are ventilating, you'll be okay. Just open windows and doors so you have effective ventilation.
I've used this stove for several decades for presentations as Chef. It works great, but can get fairly hot. But the great benefit is it's portability, easy set up and efficient use of propane. On a scale of 10 I give it a 8.
The same burner?
@@bornagainchristianvanlifer2018 yep, was constantly cooking omlets and pasta bar for two to three hours steady.. I used two of the stoves a time.
I have a couple of pieces of metal clothes hanger that i cut to use as a support for smaller diameter pots. Great for power outages longer than the generator can handle 😎
I have the Gas ONE branded one. It's great. Used it on propane every day for a month long trip and it didn't skip a beat. A++
For car camping, this would be great for those of us that can't afford to go all out with GasOne. Thanks for the honest review!
Don't use a pan that is to big for this (I think that they recommend no bigger than a 10 in pan) You don't want a pan that is too big hanging over the fuel cannister and heating it up!
As i see your point I don't think it would radiate enough to heat the the metal shield and then radiate again enough heat to have anything happen. Since heat rises just the simple flow of air should be more than adequate to cool the metal shield since it has such low mass.
Agree. This is a known limitation of these stoves. It’s called out in the instruction manual as well. There are videos online of these stoves exploding from that very problem. But I stress to say they are quite safe with a smaller pot/pan.
Too bigger pots could have that burner explode!
@@zedorda1337 th-cam.com/video/rVwOrk1vl5Y/w-d-xo.html
keep that butane canister under 50C
I’ve got one in my RV,one in my pantry and one in my car camping box. I love how simple it is to use
Do you still like it.
These stoves came in handy during the recent power outage. I bought both the blue and black stoves. I sometimes make pancakes on a griddle and use both stoves simultaneously to do pancakes and bacon. The case for the black stove has already fallen apart, literally in pieces. The latches on the blue case barely keep the case closed. I found an old gym bag up in my attic and now both stoves are stored in it and are protected by pieces of one of the blue closed cell foam I cut to fit them. The stoves work very well and literally light instantly when I activate the piezo switch. A case of fuel was very inexpensive at Amazon and there's probably enough to last for several camping trips. I love these stoves and having a hot cup of coffee during the power outage was satisfying. Great review, Luke!
May seem a bit flimsy but I have never seen a broken one.
When I first took my Family camping we used two of these and they worked flawlessly.
In the loft for emergency use now. The big plus of these is (a) they are cheap as chips(fries USA) (b) the fuel is also very cheap/ cheap depending on the mix and in the UK/EU the Butane gas canister is available just about everywhere.
Most people spend more than $35 a week at the local Starbuck's. To have the test mule for more than a year and still be using it regardless of the "not quite ready for primetime" build quality makes it more than a winner IMO
as talked about the gasone 15000 btu 3900p
Most people? My lifetime total for money spent at Starbucks is below $35.
@@jerrybobteasdale I WIN! ZERO$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. And my expenditures on Coca Cola since the "you're too White" memo was circulated? Also ZERO$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Fawk 'em all.
I've used this same stove for over 13yrs, never let me down. We had bad floods hear, UK some years ago it worked three days solid due to power cuts etc. I will be using it next weekend on a car camping trip. As you say flimsy, but gets the job done.
I love these stoves
Sounds like a winner to me. I don't need a hi dollar bullet proof stove. Just one that works. Thanks for the review Luke. You the man!
@Timothy Mckee LOL!
For $20, you can buy a Butane only stove. But, for those of us in the North, Butane will NOT evaporate in the winter. So, having the Propane option is great for cold weather use.
I brought a butane version for weekend trip recently (8/20) to avoid crowds at restaurants, it worked superbly. I paid about $25 for mine at Smart & Final. I cooked eggs, steak, re-warmed food with it in my motel room.... hahaha :) Super easy to use, reliable, and I think anyone with a prepared mind should have one..or two :)
I've seen those. But never gave them much thought. On a side note. I noticed that some viewers hit the dislike button. That reasoning escapes me. ?? I liked it. Keep up the good work Luke. And thanks for sharing.
What a great review for real people. Even though you are outdoors all the time, most people are not, and this seems like a review for the rest of us. If someone only needs this a handful of times each year, and wants to keep costs down, this stove seems like a great deal.
Thank you Luke was looking at picking up one of these, appreciate your time. Dan
thks sir,love your review-very honest,we need more people like you in this world.Be safe,thks again.
I've got one. I really like it. Thanks for the review.
Yes it is a great buy, we have one and like you said it never let us down either. Thank you.
Thanks for the review, I am getting one like that one.
Great video man!! I have same stove and still use it. I have much more expensive stoves but i just alway go back to this stove lol
This was a excellently thorough review. Thank you!
I have the Gas One version of this stove and I recommend a wind screen from Gas One for only $10 on Amazon and I think it is well worth it. I completely concur with TOGR's review of this product.
I have one of them for the last 4 years and I ues it when camping and I have no problem with it. Tommy from Ireland
Great video on the stove. I've got a number of nice backpacking stove and the venerable Green Coleman two burner job. It's nice to know that ones like this are available. Looking forward to your next hiking and camping video ... Stay safe ...
THESE WORK GREAT, In Japan we all use them, for many this is their home unit.
Hey Luke pretty good stove 2 ways to use the tank hope y'all are well much love your way be safe have a wonderful coming in week
Good honest review. Nicely done.
my brother passed away 2 years ago and in the stuff he left me i found a stove just like this one, it has a different name and runs on both fuels, i have not taken it camping i use it for in case the power goes out , which does happen during bad storms up here in north texas, it is older been used a lot and i mean a lot, he had it for over 5 years and it still works great, so i say , yes. go buy one and put it back for emergencies. its better to have it and not need it , than to need it and not have it
Awesome deal for $35 dollars . :) Love your great honest reviews and with any outdoor stove we use common sense to put up a wind barrier that is being a wise person. Love this stove , I don't have one but would buy this one because of your great honest reviews. :) Love all your videos and love the movies you choose to watch so cool.:) Be safe be well. Hugs to you both awesome family Luke and Susie , from Toni g and family.:)
As always, thank you for your honest reviews. I like the dual fuel capability.
Stay safe and God bless.
Once again...thanks for your review....always good and always fair...
Luke, for $35 it’s fair quality for the average truck/car camper who’s gonna go out a few times a year. For a pro, who goes out a lot, it’s a weak cookie. As usual, you gave a fine review. Thanks. Texas
Are there any decent indoor safe cooking options? I'm thinking along the lines of an extended power outage in an apartment that doesn't have a balcony, and it's too cold/wet to go out onto the sidewalk.
nice review mate👍 we have 2 we got from Kmart years ago when we was putting in a kitchen and used them every day cooking meals and never had a problem (3 weeks )
still have them in the cupboard ready for when the power goes off 😉😉
keep well Sir and love the videos 😎🍺
Had a number of these in be UK over the years never failed me and good as a back up if travelling by car currently on sale for about $18 ,here
I’m going to buy it right now thanks for the video.
I have two of these stoves as well, both propane or butane. I use the butane alot because it is easier to move around, but in the cabin We use the propane, to save on wood.
This is a very good revue, I wish you happy camping.
The plastic box can be used as a wind shield. Open it 90 degrees and lay it on its side.
Hi Luke, I have same and your right case is junky but stove is great and duel fuel well worth it good review Luke
Nice review! These are primarily used as indoor tabletop stoves for Asian hot pot meals. Almost every Asian household has one! Glad to see the dual fuel builds for American households, those butane canisters are hard to come by in the states
I picked up one of these a few years ago for 15 dollars. I don't use it for camping, but have used it at home during power outages and like you said, it gets the job done.
Thank you for the video.
I have the exact same one by it says shinestar 7,200 BTU I purchased on Amazon for 29.00 it will run on the large propane tanks, the only thing you must remove the regulator off of the line for the large tanks because the pressure is to low for the stove. I just use the regulator that is already on the stove. I have used this stove for pressure canning vegetables from the garden.
I have one and recommend it as a primary or secondary appliance for prepping.
Thanks Luke
Got the single fuel stove and here in the UK you can get them sometimes for under £10. Great for base camp. My parents used one while renovating too and found it as good as their main stove.
Use one every day in my truck, used it for years.
Good review. Yup worth it!
Not a bad stove for the money. I'm still partial to the Coleman dual burner white gas stove. I would love to see Luke review the Coleman.
I used to have one and for safety reasons I always use propane canister. There are many sad cases of butane canister explosion, either due to long continuous use or over-sized pan that "spread" the flame too close to the canister compartment. Mine eventually gave up the ghost after 3 or 4 years of occasional use because my friend accidentally stepped on it the second time. First time the sheet metal was badly mangled but I managed to pry it back, no such luck the second time round though. So yeah, it is flimsy, but still has some basic strength.
I probably wouldn't buy it myself but it's definitely not a bad option. That type of burner works really well with a wok
I've had the 'same' dual fuel stove for about a year also. I didn't think much of the quality when i first got it. But it works great, in fact I used it camping this weekend. And I've had no problems with it. Though it is hard to get a low flame, so it easy to burn food.
Also you can get it with a wind shield, which works out great.
I have the coleman version that I have had for a couple years which I caught at one of there tent sales for around $25.00 and has worked flawless so far
I have one myself that I use in my van everyday. It has been amazing. The best part of it is I always keep a butane canister on me, and when my 5lb propane tank runs out, I have several days of cooking left with the butane until I get my tank refilled. It's worked perfectly for the entire time I have had it.
This is crazy! How people rediscover things. I had such stove in South Korea maybe 15 years ago. And I vaguely remember I bought it for about 15 USD at the time. It was also very popular with many street food vendors.
Got one.Good bit of kit.
I got the Coleman brand one it is the second one I've bought the first one the ignitor went out on it but for the price I bought another one my first one lasted about 5 years and we beat the mess out of it😎
Got 2 of them use one when I go camping and the other I keep as a spare have never had a problem with them.
I have a very similar stove if not the same exact one. I also purchased an adapter that lets me use a 20lb propane tank. I keep it around the house just in case I need an emergency cook top
where do you buy this adapter? Can you share the model please
This is Definitely a "buy" for me!
Mine isn’t duel fuel mine is butane but I absolutely love mine! As far as the case goes ya it’s not a suitcase but mine doesn’t get thrown around but for convenience it’s awesome and mine doesn’t have an issue on low 🤷🏼♂️ I bought one and loved it so much I bought three more! Lol ✌🏻🇨🇦
Great spot on as usual I have a GasOne version that was about 22 bucks now on season 3. I have had a few I think the design as you say are all the same but my Gas one is better guage This is a great stove for most infrequent campers
Fair review luke, i have a version which is butane only. Does the job for a quick coffee while you get the fire going when car camping. Horses for courses
I have one in the basement for emergency power outages and camping..
I have the Coleman version of this stove, and it works great. I use it in my RV in place of my regular cook top. It's also the $18 version, and I don't think the pot stand reverses, and I believe it only runs on butane. Gonna check that out tomorrow.
I had one that I got and used it for over 25 yrs
I wore it slap out
I have a intex version used it many years still works great came with a much better case
I spent $25 on a Coleman butane stove six years ago I love it.
I agree one makes all. i have a can cooker the case an cooker look exactly alike exept its gray
Stay safe Luke .
This one looks great but my old original Colman is my go to with family camping. Buy myself I'd buy this one your showing us very nice. I like cooking eggs ,fish, and some stew when by myself when camping.
I ended up buying the Gas One 15,000 BTU
good purchase. mines about 6 years old, and its used multiple times per year. like 2 meal a day for a 10 day trip and multiple weekends, and to perc coffee for most of september during elk season.
I bought my GasOne Camp Stove on amazon for 32 bucks I like that one
I have a Coleman stove like this that only runs on butane. It serves me well, and works great.
I have had one for a while now. I like it. There is one danger. It seems to be difficult to get the butane can to line up and seat into place. While doing so butane can squirt all over the place. Don't hit the starter until that liquid butane has had a chance to evaporate away. A huge fire ball will result. Ask me how I know that.
If you knew how many times over the year's my family has laughed about some poorly made camping equipment that still works, and this one would be another to add to the camping equipment. The beauty of it is if it works for a year or two or ten years, either way your not to bothered by it because you only paid 35 bucks! Sometimes cheap isn't all bad! Thanks for the review!
The version of this sold in the UK is incapable of using the external propane internal butane only, would only use as a picnic stove, would not use it for backpacking as it is on the bulky side
I had the butane only, had no problem...then I saw you use one with propane and realized that there was a dual fuel option. Great little stove, plan on passing the butane stove on and keeping the dual fuel one under my front passenger seat
I think its a good deal for $35. I remember growing up, we had one of the old Coleman cookstoves, where you put the coleman fuel into the tank in front of the stove and then you had to pump it to get the pressure built up before you could light the stove. Was heavy and bulky and took up a lot of room compared to the new stoves today.
I recently bought a gasone butane stove. The size/weight of these types of stoves are great if your camping with just one or two other people.
I have 2 different versions of this stove. A duel fuel plus a single (butane) which has a hot plate. I use the case as a windshield.
I have one of these stoves, works great.....
Looks like a good stove,,for 35$ cannot beat it,,,i use the coleman,,,great review,
have had recalls of this type of stove in Australia due to canister blowing up..... seems that they have fixed this as they are back on the market.
Ill stick with my msr xgk, but for someone just weekending or getting into it its not a bad first buy till you figure out what your wanting. If your going to be doing more serious stuff even car camping then a better build dual burner is the way to go, i just prefer liquid fuel as high elevation and cold weather can be problematic for compressed gas. My wants/needs are likely different than yours so pick what works for you
Yes it's worth every penny
Main body build, carrying case of Gas one is exactly the same as yours. The only difference is, the fire outcome is much stronger, with more holes. I always use it with the regulator in the half position. There are better looking stoves in the market, but none are dual fuel. I chose this on because propane is cheap
These little butane stoves are pretty efficient as long as they don't get too cold. The below freezing point is where having that propane capability will pay off as butane tends to not want to vaporize below 32f where propane doesn't have that problem. That's why I like those little Isobutane canisters because the addition of a propane in the blend helps push the vapor temp down allowing it to work at lower temps.
They are great as emergency cookers and car camping i have used them for years and the only issue is not the cooker but the butane canisters in cold to freezing conditions just need to get them warm before cooking i would put it in my jacket inside pocket 30 minutes before needing to cook and it works
there are versions of this stove that has an additional metal sheet conducting part of combustion heat to the butane canister for vaporization
otherwise liquid fuel stove with pump works better for cold weather usage
I have not seen the dual fuel version. It seems like a good idea. I have been using the butane only versions for years. The cases always break and I have had a couple of them develop leaks but they are very effective as a cooker. They are stable, with good flame controllability and an effective flame pattern but, apart from the flimsyness, are not the cheapest to run. They can be found for £10 in Britain, so overall, I agree, worth having as a car/boat/camping trailer stove. Good review.
Coleman has their own version of this for the same price, but butane only. I like this one as it comes with the propane adapter hose.
