Don't Electrify Your Camping Cooking Until You See This....

Thank you, this is super useful. Do you have any idea why the Stoke induction stove seems to be so much more efficient than the cooktop?

Ive had my jetboil for 12 yrs now, always works. My coffee is .15 cents a cup and always fresh and hot. Jetboil is GREAT!

Very nice reviews. I don't think all portable induction tops are the same, though. My experience with the Stoke Voltiacs and the induction top has been that the induction top was almost twice as fast as the Stoke at boiling water. The pot I used on the induction top is a Stanley Even-Heat Camp Pro, and the induction top is a Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop (amazon). The other thing I like about the induction top is in a pinch I can use the cookware on a gas stove or even over a camp fire. When I get home, I can throw the cookware in the dishwasher or submerge it entirely in water while scrubbing.

If your going induction then use cast iron, you can use it on a campfire if you have no electricity. 😊

Sorry, the moment you brought out a $400 two burner propane stove you lost me.

Sorry, but you have a very, very bad induction cooks top, my portable induction cook top is much faster than yours.

An induction cooker just uses a copper coil and it reverses the current flow very fast causing heat in metal that is capable of a magnet sticking to it ferrous metal just means iron which is very subject to magnetic pull but the the fast fluctuation back and forth is the same as friction and iheats up the metal that that's within that magnetic field generated by the coil it actually works faster than a resistive element type stove top if a magnet will stick to your pot it will heat up on an induction cooktop and induction cooktop takes less energy to operate

This is why I got the 6qt instapot.

Cast iron camp oven and frying pan works on my induction cook top as well can cook over fire with them.

I`ll stick to my old Coleman gasoline stove. On the other hand, if you ditch the jetboil, let me know, I`ll take it...

Sorry, too long. I tried several times to make it through but man you just talk too much.

unless i know the electric is 100% clean then might aswell use gas and avoid the pitas' :)

"1 liter of water is 1 liter of water," Love this! Excellent, thorough review and comparison! Keep up the great work!

Why bring numerous expensive appliances to avoid bringing a few gas cylinders? Keep it simple and use butane, Iso-butane, propane or a blend of these gasses. Moving on. Thanks for the video. See you beyongd the pavements end.

1 L = 4.226 US cups.
If I went all electric, I'd just use my Instant Pot and one hob electric cooker. But for now I'll just use my butane stove and my 12 V lunchbox food warmer.

Electric kettles outperform all of the hardware in this video. They can boil water faster while consuming less electricity than any other method. One liter boils in a little more than 4 minutes. Ideal for making coffee or tea quickly. And they are also the cheapest option. Only about $20. When combined with a $100 induction cooktop, you have everything needed to prepare a full-electric meal. You can cook two meals a day for two people with less than 800wh. Throw in a 12v rice cooker and you can do all your cooking with a powerstation and a 200w solar panel, and no propane.

It’s a kettle with the lid cut off!

I've been using a Dezin Electric Kettle, also from Amazon, for boiling water. It takes about four minutes to get around 800ml of water boiling which I consider reasonable. It's supposed to pull around 800W, which seems about right for what I recall. The 800ml is good for two large mugs of coffee, I use paper filter bags for this. It makes it so much nicer than using a Jetboil or so. It's slower, for sure, but so much cleaner, easier, and overall more pleasant. And the induction cooking beats propane or any other fuel as soon as there is even the slightest wind. I love my electric setup (2x 100Ah batteries, Redarc RedVision system, Redarc 2000W inverter) in the Gladiator.

One thing I really want to try is using an induction ready mocha pot ... :-)

Get on with it. Too many I'll show you laters. I have to go, I'll change your thumbs down later.

💯👍 Great content and informative in showing the pros and cons 👋

Have you considered an electric skillet? You can fry, boil, cook stews, slow cook, etc. with them. They cost only between $20 to $50 US. They come in aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic and non stick. They almost all have temperature controls and lids. You can get them in up to 7 liters in size.

Cool, this is like Grandpa's Jeep and gasoline camp stove, but with WAAAY more steps.

That complex battery bank is the fatal flaw in the plan. They are NOT rated IP68 or made to handle bouncing around in the back of a Jeep.

all most all campers r plumped for a lp stove they have a min of a 20# gas grill tank on the camper someplace

u cant beat gas or wood for camping

Trangia. Cheap, lightweight easy. Why get heavy and complicated.

What brand is that stainless pot with the mint green handles? Link please?

excellent review of the options. Makes me even happier with my induction cook top.

The "Generic" inductive cooktop is by far the MOST versatile of the systems you've shown, and the electricity used to run the cooking system can do so much more as well, it's kinda a no brainer in my mind!!
Jest a redneck think'in out loud!!
Just a quick question, what was your starting temperature of your 1 liter of water in your boil test? I was going to check my nuwave inductive cooktop.
The ferrous / magnetic cookware will work on ANY system except the stokes so it's just a matter of buying the most versatile cookware, and as a side note CAST IRON is ideal for induction.

I can rub 2 sticks together for much less than $520

If the Stoke only had a lip on the small pot, for pouring coffee water... Cool gear, thanks for the video. I make do with just a induction cooker. It's great that the Cusimax cooker goes down to 200w.

Darn, you have quite the investment in gear shown in this video. What would happen if you didn’t have a Truck or Car to carry all this? 😮 Thank you for sharing, but this really isn’t feasible for what’s coming. Do a video showing what you would carry if walking.😊

Propane and propane accessories !

I like the idea of removing the risk of a gas leak but I also like the flexibility of moving my gas stove away from my van ie to a camp table or park shelter to cook dinner. It would be harder to do that with the electrical option (with multiple batteries). Based on that I would still go with the gas stove, despite it not working well in windy conditions but might look at a cheap inductive hot plate for use inside the van as an addition.

Joulle. Nice. Lid sucks. Switch seems flimsy. I have made coffee popcorn and rom as n noodles with it

I found a 500 watt induction cook top. Love it boils fast like the bigger one but can run at 100 watts for like a small coffee cup reheat coffee.

Good presentation.

Nespresso. Ditto. First thing packed in suitcase 4 flight on vacations-nobody wants to be the one to make the trip to Starbucks for the family!! Thx! Just ordered Delta3+ knowing I will wake up in a better mood for truck camping vacation! Family thinks 👍🏼2! U make informative videos. Thank u!

That Small Electric Jet-boil Cup sized thing is IDEAL for Solo Touring . Coffee/Tea and Single Serve sized Meals are a Breeze with that .

You are supposed to plunge the filter in the French press as per the name.
I do like the idea of the Joule not for camping but at work (construction).
Interesting look at alternatives to gas. I purchased a very slim but quite expensive induction hob and I transport that in a laptop bag but to be honest I mainly use it at home as we are tent campers I haven’t really found the need for it aa I’m always cooking under the canopy with gas.
Favourite water boiling set up currently is the Fire Maple Mars (jetboil style)
My twin gas burner folding gas stove is made by Naturehike and very leased with set as well.
Induction hob of course needs a power bank if no access to an EHU so that means cooking that way needs some major investment.
My go to

I have a 12V induction cooktop. No inverter needed, no proprietary complex pots or pans, safe indoor cooking, and high portability.

Got EV with V2L function, is great thing to bring ❤

I use another brand of inductive stove and it gets +/- 1 liter of water to boil in as low as 3 minutes (!!!)

Casey great discussion. Also glad we have choices!!! Thanks for sharing the new product innovation as well.

With all of the fuel storage on our swing out tail gate and the cooking space on a tailgate table we made the shift to electric. Add a toaster for muffins, bagels, raisin toast… a hotpot for boiling water fast for morning meals its simply a no brainer. But adding a Traeger Ranger Portable Pellet Stove that had a griddle we are talking next level. We have the induction cooktop an the Magna Nested Ceramic Cookset and its at a whole new level. Wind and cooler temps no longer impeade our cooktimes. Yep still have Jetboil and a Camp Chef Mountaineer as a pivot but propane is saved for hot water and firepit mostly!!!

12v trucker heated mattress pads are another plus and better than a heated blanket when comparing effectiveness in a sleeping space!!

I love and use electric when and where it makes sense.

Having a well designed and engineered lithium system that's charged by a 250amp HO alternator and/or solar was the key for us. And note there are more economical space saving ways to charge lithium batteries than fitting a DC-DC charger ask AM Solar!!

Buy from your local retailers and avoid big chains and especially Amazon. This you are investing in your countries future.

one liter of water = one liter of water. 😂

That jetboil system looks amazing. It looks like the pot could be used with any fire (including a classic stove and a campfire) and still benefit from the better efficiency.

Nice test! pleas mention the kind of pot liner ( teflon /Pfas or ceramic) Would be nice if they make the electric ones on 12/24V = no inverter ; did you try the Joule on 12V?

I really enjoyed your video — another consideration is the washing up — does drying time following immersion in water vary between the options — my guess will be yes, with the simple pan (the one you use with induction cooktop) being the easiest to wash up (when you’ve cooked food rather than just boiling water)

What you test showed me was that the "pan" can make a lot of difference. The two mains devices put 1kw and 1.8kw of energy into each pan respectively yet took the same time to boil 1 litre - why - because a lot of the heat is lost from the pan and one pan had an insulated side construction. You can cover the top but ideally I would look for a pan to use with a generic induction hob that has some level of side and ideally cover insulation which is what I suspect the proprietary 1kw device had.
