Gas One GS-3400P Dual Fuel Propane & Butane Camp Stove
The Gas One GS-3400P is the most flexible sub-$50 stove on the market. It runs on both propane (with the included regulator hose and POL fitting) AND butane (cartridge slot in the body). 8,000 BTUs with auto-ignition and a carrying case. The dual-fuel design means you can use cheap 1-lb propane cylinders for most trips, swap to butane from any Asian grocery store if you run out, and — critically — run propane in cold weather when butane won't even vaporize. Three-sided wind guards protect the flame. This is the only stove under $50 that handles both fuel types.

Choosing a stove around one fuel type can become a headache when the right canisters are unavailable or temperatures change. The GS-3400P gives car campers two practical fuel paths in one compact stove, so the kitchen setup is less likely to be sidelined by a fuel mismatch.
🏆 How It Compares
The headline feature here is flexibility: it burns both propane and butane, which almost no stove under $50 does, and the included hose with POL fitting means no adapter hunting. Propane keeps it running in cold weather when butane stalls below about 40°F, and 8,000 BTUs with a regulated supply give steady heat for real cooking. The tradeoffs are extra weight from the dual-fuel hardware and a plastic case that is functional but not Coleman-tough.
