  Product Description
The Vango Blaze is a single-burner camping stove built for campers who need reliable heat wherever they pitch up. This compact cooker delivers 3kW of power through its stainless steel burner, which gives you enough grunt to boil water quickly or simmer a proper meal at the campsite. The low-profile design sits close to the ground, and combined with the anti-slip plastic feet, it stays put when you're cooking on uneven grass or gravel pitches. The hi/lo burner control gives you proper temperature adjustment, so you're not stuck with full blast when you need a gentle heat.

This stove runs on EN417 threaded self-sealing gas cartridges, the standard screw-on type you'll find in most camping shops across the UK. The PVC hose connects the burner to your gas cartridge and includes an auto shut-off valve for safety. The stainless steel burner wipes clean after use, though like most camping stoves, it'll need a proper clean if you're prone to boil-overs. The Blaze works well for weekend camping trips, picnics where you want a hot brew, or as a backup cooker at festivals. It's worth noting that the single burner means you'll be cooking one pot at a time, so if you're feeding a family or want to cook multiple dishes simultaneously, you'll need to plan your cooking accordingly.

This cooker suits solo campers, couples, or small families who don't mind sequential cooking. The 3kW output is decent for a portable stove, putting it in the same range as many built-in caravan hobs. The low-to-ground setup makes it inherently more stable than taller camping stoves, particularly useful on UK campsites where you're often cooking on soft ground. The threaded cartridge connection is more secure than push-fit alternatives, and the auto shut-off valve on the hose adds a proper safety feature. The stainless steel burner resists corrosion better than cheaper alternatives, which matters when you're storing camping gear in damp conditions between trips.

Frequently Asked Questions


Which gas cartridges does the Vango Blaze use?
The Vango Blaze uses EN417 threaded self-sealing gas cartridges, which are the standard screw-on type available at most camping retailers in the UK. These cartridges have a threaded connection that screws directly onto the stove's gas hose fitting. Common brands include Coleman C500, Campingaz CV470 Plus, and Primus Power Gas, all of which comply with the EN417 standard and fit this cooker.
How long does a gas cartridge last on the Vango Blaze?
A standard 230g EN417 gas cartridge typically provides around 75 minutes of burn time at full 3kW output on the Vango Blaze. In practical camping use, where you're using the hi/lo control to adjust the flame, a single cartridge usually covers cooking for 2-3 days for a couple. Boiling a litre of water takes approximately 4-5 minutes at full power, and you'll use less gas when simmering or cooking at lower temperatures.
Can you use the Vango Blaze inside a tent or awning?
You should never use the Vango Blaze or any gas camping stove inside a tent due to carbon monoxide risks and fire hazards. Gas stoves must be used outdoors in well-ventilated areas only. Inside a caravan awning with all sides open and proper ventilation, some campers do use gas stoves, but this requires extreme caution and depends on the awning's ventilation. Always position the stove on stable, level ground away from tent walls, guy ropes, and flammable materials.
What size pans can you use on the Vango Blaze?
The Vango Blaze accommodates pans and kettles with base diameters up to approximately 22cm comfortably. The stainless steel burner provides a stable cooking platform for standard camping cookware, including most 2-4 person camping pan sets. Smaller pans around 14-16cm diameter work fine and are efficient for solo camping. Larger pans can be used but may overhang the burner slightly. The low-to-ground design and anti-slip feet provide good stability even with heavier pots full of water or food.
How does the auto shut-off valve work on the Vango Blaze?
The PVC hose on the Vango Blaze includes an auto shut-off valve at the cartridge connection point. When you disconnect the gas cartridge, this valve automatically closes to prevent gas leaks. This safety feature means you can remove the cartridge without gas escaping, which is particularly useful when packing up or changing cartridges. The valve opens again when you reconnect a cartridge, allowing gas to flow to the burner. This is a standard safety feature on quality camping stoves that prevents waste and reduces risks during cartridge changes.
Is the Vango Blaze suitable for winter camping?
The Vango Blaze can be used in cooler weather, but standard butane gas cartridges lose pressure below 5°C, which reduces performance. For autumn and winter camping in the UK, you'll need to use propane-butane mix cartridges or winter-grade gas that maintains pressure in cold temperatures. The stove itself performs well in wind when you position it sensibly or use a windshield, but the gas cartridge performance is the limiting factor in cold conditions. Many campers find single-burner stoves like the Blaze adequate for three-season camping but prefer different setups for serious winter use.
How do you clean the Vango Blaze after cooking?
The stainless steel burner on the Vango Blaze wipes clean with a damp cloth once it has cooled down completely. For stuck-on food or grease, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. The burner jets can become blocked over time, particularly if you've had boil-overs. Clear blocked jets carefully with a thin wire or needle when the stove is completely cool and disconnected from gas. Regular cleaning after each camping trip keeps the stove performing properly and extends its lifespan, particularly if you store it in damp conditions between uses.
