  Product Description
The Vango Inferno Cooker delivers 2.4kW of heat through its stainless steel burner, making it a solid choice for campers who need reliable cooking power at the campsite. Built-in piezo ignition means you can fire it up without fumbling for matches, while the detachable pot support stores neatly underneath the burner base when you're packing up. The recessed drip tray helps shield the flame from wind, though you'll still want some form of windbreak if you're cooking in exposed conditions. It runs on standard EN417 gas cartridges, the same ones you'll find in most camping shops, and the braided PTFE hose includes an auto cut-off feature for safety.

What makes this cooker practical for touring is the retractable hose system that keeps everything compact. The carry handle lets you shift it around easily, whether you're moving from pitch to pitch or just repositioning away from the awning. With a 450g gas canister, you're looking at roughly 150 minutes of cooking time at full flame, which translates to several days of typical camping meals if you're not constantly boiling massive pots of water. The stainless steel construction stands up to regular use and cleans up without much fuss.

This cooker sits in that middle ground between lightweight backpacking stoves and full camping kitchens. It's best suited to campers, caravanners, and motorhomers who want something more substantial than a basic backpacking burner but don't need multiple rings. The single burner means you'll be cooking one pot at a time, so it works well for couples or small families who don't mind a bit of sequential cooking. The pot support is sturdy enough for standard camping pans, though you'll want to check your largest pots fit comfortably within the support arms before you head off.

Frequently Asked Questions


What gas cartridges work with the Vango Inferno Cooker?
The Vango Inferno is compatible with EN417 gas cartridges, which are the standard threaded screw-on canisters containing butane-propane mix. These are widely available from camping retailers and outdoor shops across the UK. You'll typically find them in 220g, 450g, or larger sizes. The EN417 fitting is the most common type for portable camping stoves, making replacement cartridges easy to source.
How long does a gas cartridge last with the Vango Inferno?
With a 450g EN417 cartridge, you'll get approximately 150 minutes of burn time at maximum flame level. In practical terms, most campers don't run the burner at full blast continuously, so you'll typically stretch this much further. Boiling water for morning coffee, heating soup, or cooking a pan of pasta uses far less gas than sustained high-heat cooking. Many users find a single 450g cartridge lasts a weekend of normal camping meals for two people.
Can you use the Vango Inferno inside a tent or awning?
You should never use any gas cooker inside a closed tent due to carbon monoxide risks and fire hazards. The Vango Inferno can be used in well-ventilated awnings with the door open and proper airflow, but it's designed for outdoor use. Most experienced campers set up their cooking area outside the sleeping quarters, either under an open-sided canopy or in a cooking shelter with adequate ventilation. Always follow gas safety guidelines and ensure proper ventilation when operating any gas appliance.
What size pans fit on the Vango Inferno pot support?
The stainless steel pot support accommodates most standard camping pans and pots. Small espresso makers and single-serve pots sit securely on the support arms, while larger family-sized cooking pots up to around 24cm diameter work well. The detachable pot support provides stability for typical camping cookware. Very small pots under 10cm might need careful positioning, while oversized stockpots can become unstable. Most campers find it works perfectly with their everyday camping pan set.
Does the piezo ignition work reliably on the Vango Inferno?
The built-in piezo ignition system provides spark ignition without matches or lighters. Like most piezo systems, it works well in dry conditions but can struggle in damp weather or at altitude. Many campers carry a lighter as backup, which is good practice with any camping stove. The piezo mechanism is straightforward to operate and removes the need to pack matches, though keeping the ignition area clean and dry helps maintain consistent performance throughout your trip.
How does the auto cut-off feature work on the Vango Inferno?
The retractable braided PTFE hose includes an automatic cut-off valve that stops gas flow if the cartridge becomes disconnected or the hose is damaged. This safety feature helps prevent gas leaks during setup or if the connection comes loose accidentally. The braided construction protects the hose from wear and the PTFE material resists chemical degradation from the gas. This is a standard safety feature on quality camping stoves and adds peace of mind when you're cooking at the campsite.
Is the Vango Inferno suitable for motorhome cooking?
The Vango Inferno works well as a supplementary cooker for motorhomes when you want to cook outside or need an extra burner. Its compact design and carry handle make it easy to store in a motorhome locker and set up outside when you're pitched. Many motorhomers use it alongside their built-in hob for preparing multiple dishes simultaneously or for outdoor cooking that keeps cooking smells and heat outside the van. The single burner means it's not a replacement for a full motorhome kitchen but serves as a practical backup or outdoor option.
How do you clean the Vango Inferno Cooker?
The stainless steel construction cleans up easily with warm soapy water and a cloth. The detachable pot support lifts off for thorough cleaning, which is useful after messy cooking sessions. The recessed drip tray catches spills and splashes, and you can wipe it clean once it's cooled down. Let the cooker cool completely before cleaning, then remove any food residue from the burner area with a soft brush. The stainless steel resists staining and corrosion, though regular cleaning after use keeps it looking good and functioning properly.
