Folding Camp Stoves

Folding camp stoves that pack flat and burn what you can find: twigs, pellets, metho, charcoal or gas. Choose the 230g Cooka Titanium Stove for a light pack, or the Firebox G2 for a bigger cooking platform.

The Cooka Titanium Stove is titanium, so it cools quickly, cleans easily and will not rust. The Firebox G2 opens into a stable platform that handles bigger cookware.

Cooking with gas

Both stoves take the Firebox Gas Burner for fast cooking when wood is wet or a fire is not suitable. Match the adaptor to your gas: the butane adaptor fits common Australian bayonet cartridges, and the Coleman-style adaptor fits Coleman and Companion propane bottles.

No dry wood?

The Cooka Burn'a runs on methylated spirits. 80ml reaches full flame in 2 to 3 minutes and lasts about 30 minutes on high. It turns down to a simmer, and the screw lid stores leftover fuel. In exposed spots, the Wind Stop'a keeps the heat on the pot.

Get the whole kitchen

The Cooka kits pair the Titanium Stove with the tools to cook a proper camp meal, for less than buying them one by one. Choose the Hiker ($169), the Crikey ($249) or the Big Kahuna ($299).

Fire rules differ between states and parks. Check them before you light any stove during a fire ban.

Questions

What can I burn in the Cooka Titanium Stove?

Twigs, wood pellets, metho, charcoal and heat beads, or gas with the Firebox Gas Burner. The gas burner and the alcohol stove are sold separately.

Does the Cooka Titanium Stove work with the Firebox gas burner?

Yes. The Cooka Titanium Stove is compatible with the Firebox Gas Burner, and so is the Firebox G2.

Which gas bottles can I use?

Use the butane adaptor for common Australian bayonet butane cartridges, or the Coleman-style adaptor for Coleman and Companion propane bottles.

How long does the Burn'a metho stove last?

With 80ml of metho it reaches full flame in 2 to 3 minutes and runs for about 30 minutes on high. You can turn it down to a simmer.

Can I use a folding stove during a fire ban?

It depends on the state, the park and the type of ban. Total fire bans usually restrict wood and solid-fuel fires. Check with your local fire authority before lighting any stove.
