If you’re car camping, chances are you’ll be doing most of your cooking on a two-burner camp stove that uses pressurized gas. In this post, we’ll show you how to safely set-up and light a typical two-burner propane stove.

Key Points
- Set up your stove on an even surface
- Make sure the burners are in the ‘OFF’ position
- Connect the regulator to the stove
- Connect your fuel supply to the regulator
- Ignite your stove using the inbuilt igniter or a match/lighter
- When done cooking shut the stove off and get ready for the next use
Step 1: Stove set-up
Place your stove on a flat, even surface, like a picnic table, and open the stove.

Step 2: Ensure the burners are off
The flow of fuel to the burners is controlled by knobs on the front of the stove. Make sure these are turned to the OFF position (on our Coleman stove, this is done by turning them clockwise).

Step 3: Connect the regulator to the stove
The regulator is a flexible or rigid line that connects the fuel supply to the stove as well as regulating the fuel pressure delivered to the stove. In some stoves, the regulator is permanently attached to the stove. On our Coleman stove, the regulator is stored inside the stove when not in use.
