Which camping gas stove to buy? Mainly to know which will be best for which canisters?


However I am not sure what is best canister to use. I read that ones that take calor gas would be best up until just recently however since calor gas have discontinued the small bottles.

I want a smallish one as I want to use inside my van #vanlife.

Can anyone help demistify and tell me if this would be ok for any canister? I read that you just have to buy and change regulators. Would that mean I just have to buy another regulator for this one?

Flogas seems to be the canister of choice on the cursory research I did yesterday if one wants an alternative to campingaz. The latter seems fine however I also watched a video there was a rumour that might be discontinued sometime in the near future too.
