Campervan Stove Buying Guide

Choosing a stove for your campervan is an exciting part of any van build. A stove adds warmth, comfort and a cosy atmosphere that makes a van feel much more like home.

Before choosing a stove, it’s worth thinking about a few important factors to make sure it suits your van and the way you travel.

Size of the stove

Campervans are relatively small spaces, so a compact stove is usually the best choice.

A small stove can still produce plenty of heat while fitting comfortably into the available space.

Flue size

Most campervan stoves use a smaller flue pipe to keep installations compact.

Our stoves typically use a 3 inch (76mm) flue pipe, which works well for vans and other small spaces.

Fuel type

Many stoves are designed to burn different fuels.

Multi-fuel stoves offer flexibility when travelling because they can burn a variety of fuels depending on what is available.

Ease of installation

Some stoves are designed specifically for small space installations and are easier to install in vans, boats and cabins.

Choosing a stove designed for these environments can make the installation process much simpler.

Heat output

Even a small stove can produce a surprising amount of heat in a campervan.

Because vans are compact spaces, it usually doesn’t take a large stove to warm the interior.

Build quality

A well built stove will last for many years.

Stoves made from quality steel and designed specifically for small spaces tend to perform reliably and handle regular use well.

Choosing a stove that suits your build

Every van conversion is different, so the best stove will depend on the layout of your space and how you plan to use it.

Taking a little time to think about these factors can help ensure you choose a stove that works perfectly for your setup.
