Campingaz Camp’Bistro 3 review

A single-burner tabletop stove tied to one named cartridge — the Campingaz CP250 — with an output figure, a piezo igniter and a carry case, and no weight, boil time or dimensions anywhere in the listing.

The bottom line The clearest cartridge answer in this hub, and one of the thinnest specifications: it tells you exactly what to feed it and nothing about what it weighs.

What this listing puts on record

A single-burner tabletop gas stove rated at 2,200 W, with a piezo igniter and a transport box, built around the Campingaz CP250 cartridge.

The cartridge is the decision

This is the line that decides the purchase. The maker names the CP250 and describes the stove as compatible with it. It does not name the EN 417 screw thread that a screw-on canister stove takes, nor the MSF-1a bayonet cartridge that most of the tabletop stoves in this hub take. Those are three different fittings, and a cartridge for one does not go on another.

That matters most away from home. Before a trip, check what the shops on your route actually stock.

What the listing keeps quiet about

No weight, no packed size, no pot support width, no boil time and no water volume. A 2,200 W rating with none of those beside it says how hot the burner is and nothing about how it is to live with.

Before ordering

Confirm the cartridge is available where you are going, and read the maker’s instructions on ventilation, on connecting and changing the cartridge, and on where the stove may be used — together with the rules of the site you are on.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • Names the exact cartridge it is built around rather than a weight class, so what to buy with it is not a guess
  • Publishes an output figure, which four of the nine stoves in this hub do not
  • A piezo igniter and a transport box are both stated to be included

Compromises

  • Tied to one maker’s cartridge: the CP250 is neither the screw thread nor the MSF-1a bayonet that the other gas stoves here take
  • No weight at all, which for a tabletop stove with a case is the figure that decides whether it travels on foot
  • No boil time and no water volume, so 2,200 W stays a rating rather than a time at the stove
  • No pot support width, so what will stand on it without overhanging is unknown before it arrives

What people ask before buying

Will any 227 g cartridge fit this stove?

The maker names the Campingaz CP250 and only that. Several other stoves in this hub name the MSF-1a bayonet or a screw thread instead, and those are different fittings on different cartridges. Match the fitting the maker names, and read its instructions before connecting anything.

Is 2,200 W more heat than a lighter stove?

It is a higher stated rating than most of the compact stoves here, and it is not a boil time. No stove in this hub publishes minutes with a water volume beside them, so the comparison the category is meant to be made on cannot be made from these listings.
