A Butane Card Stove is a great gas stove for casual car and van camping. We have been on the lookout for a super small and compact burner to have ready to use when out and about in the van.

When we found this ultralight butane gas mini folding camp stove, we had to get one and try it out.

Butane Mini Card Stove – Ultralight Folding Gas Burner

We have had a standard butane stove in our camp kitchen kit for years. They are well-built and extremely reliable. The only downside is the size. Enter the Butane Mini Camp Stove.

Also known as a Butane Card Stove, this small and lightweight butane gas camp stove is surprisingly powerful. I was dubious at first, but after using it a few times my doubts were quickly erased. This little stove is great.

What’s In The Box?

You don’t get much in the box, but at this price, it’s not expected. The soft bag is a nice touch. Not sure why they include an emergency blanket. Hope it’s not to help with shock after the stove explodes 😖
