Why a Multi Fuel Camping BBQ That Runs on Charcoal and Gas is a Game Changer

Camp grilling with the portable STOV BBQ in Australia

Look, we've all been there - rocking up to the campsite, gear in hand, beer chilling nicely in the esky, and ready to get your grill on. But the real question is always: charcoal or gas? What if I told you that you didn't have to choose? Yep, you read that right! With a multi fuel camping BBQ that runs on both charcoal and gas (like our legendary STOV BBQ), you're sorted no matter what the camping gods throw your way.

Flexibility Like You've Never Experienced

Let's be honest, charcoal grilling is the romance of camping. The smokey aroma, the crackle of the fire, and the irresistible flavour it imparts to your snags and steaks. But sometimes, after a long drive or a challenging hike, waiting for charcoal to heat up can feel longer than waiting for your mate who's always "just 5 minutes away." That's when gas comes to your rescue - quick to heat up and perfect when hunger strikes hard and fast.

Having a multi fuel camping BBQ charcoal and gas combo means you’re ready to grill in every situation instead of needing to decide on only one option - and why not have both. Out bush, at the beach, or chilling at a caravan park - you can adapt your cooking style on-the-fly. No more packing separate cooking gear or guessing which fuel type will suit the situation. It's pure freedom. If you want to read more about what type of BBQ is the right one for you, here we have an article about how to decide between charcoal or gas barbecues

Master All BBQ Cooking Styles

A multi fuel camping BBQ isn't just about flexibility; it’s also about mastering your outdoor cooking game. Charcoal lets you get your slow cook on—perfect for ribs, briskets, and smoky veggies. Gas, meanwhile, excels for rapid grilling, ideal for those juicy burgers, steaks, or seafood sessions at the beach. Combining both fuels, you've basically got the Swiss Army knife of barbecues, ready to impress your camping buddies.

Save Space and Stress Less when camping

Picture this: less clutter, more room for essential gear like extra beers or a comfy camp chair. With a compact, flatpack, multi fuel camping BBQ (yes, like our beloved STOV), you not only save valuable boot space but also eliminate the stress of overpacking or forgetting fuel.

Sustainable Camping

At STOV, we're all about keeping adventures eco-friendly. Using charcoal can often mean burning sustainably sourced wood, while gas can offer a clean-burning, efficient cooking option. Being able to choose fuels based on what's environmentally friendly or locally available is just another cheeky win.
