JoChef Butane Camping Stove - 9,500 BTU Portable Gas Stove

After using this camping stove across two different seasons (summer and fall), I've found it to be a reliable addition to my truck camping setup. The JoChef delivers a solid 9,500 BTU of cooking power, and what really stands out is its thoughtful design focused on portability and ease of use.One of the pleasant surprises was discovering it comes with its own carrying case - something not always included with camping stoves in this category. The included windshield is more than just an afterthought; it actually proved quite effective during breezy conditions, maintaining consistent heat output when you need it most.The setup and breakdown process is straightforward and user-friendly, making it perfect for both camping veterans and newcomers. Everything fits neatly into the included case, though this brings me to my only real criticism: the packing process requires specific item orientation to fit properly, and the case's plastic sliding locks feel a bit flimsy. These sliders tend to unlock themselves during normal handling, which can be a minor annoyance when moving your gear around.Key features that stand out:-Complete package with carrying case included-Effective windshield design for better cooking in breeze-Quick and intuitive setup/breakdown-Powerful 9,500 BTU output-Compact storage solution-Ideal for truck camping setupsPro tip: Take a mental note (or quick photo) of how components fit in the case the first time you unpack it - this will save you some trial and error when repacking.Bottom line: Despite the somewhat finicky case locks, this camping stove offers excellent value and functionality. Its combination of power, portability, and included accessories makes it a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable camping stove. Just be mindful of the case's sliding locks during transport.

This stove is perfect for my needs - reheating a pot of chili (or whatever) for camp dinner. The butane bottle is easy to install and secure. Ignition is smooth and effective. The stove comes in a hard plastic case - the latches are do-able, but a bit flimsy. Just an all-around good value.

I bought this to cook on if the power went out here in Florida, and with Milton, the power went out. This little cook stove is easy to set up (2 minutes to reverse the burner plate and lock in the butane canister). It comes with a neat three sided wind screen which was useful. It starts with the first turn of the gas knob. It also has certain safety features, for example if the butane canister is locked into the stove, you cannot store the stove in its case. I didn't run it long enough over three days to evaluate how fast it uses butane, but it says it has about 8 hours running time per canister. This was a perfect assist during the hurricane and for an emergency cooking device was ready to go and easy to use and seems no fail. Would buy this again.

No operational issues. Easy assembly. Compact. The wind shield is flimsy. Great buy for the money. It did come with the butane.

Stove- Love it! 5 stars BUT not the case. It’s just ok. The sliders to close case are flimsy and fight them to line up. The case itself is sturdy enough I’d give case a 3.5. Yet I really do like the stove!! Very nice and easy to clean.

I recently tried the Jo Chef product and was impressed by its quality and ease of use. The sleek design and intuitive controls made it simple to operate, even for a novice like me. The product’s build feels sturdy, indicating durability, and it performed consistently well across different tasks. I particularly enjoyed the even heat distribution, which resulted in perfectly cooked meals every time. Cleanup was also hassle-free, thanks to the non-stick surfaces. Overall, Jo Chef provided a professional-level experience at home, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their cooking skills.

I love that it comes in its own sturdy case. Very easy to transport from place to place and keep all parts together in one place. It’s easy to use and just what I was looking for to boil water for coffee or heat/cook something up when the power goes out. I would recommend this to my family and friends.

I was looking for a small camping stove for short walk and drive to campsites when I found JoChef. The JoChef Butane Camping Stove came quickly and worked perfectly right out of the box. It appears to be of good quality and feels solid. It is simple to use, compact, and works perfectly for camping with just me and my nephew. The wind guard is solid metal and wraps around it perfectly. Its nice that it comes in a carrying case. My only complaints are that the case could lock a little better and be a little sturdier, but I have none whatsoever for the actual stove. So far I have only used it a couple of times, but I can't wait to use it more.
