Most of the propane stoves in the review run off of a 16oz propane canister. These are great, small and work well. But most the stoves have the option to connect a hose and use a gas tank. If you are camping with your car and have space, buy a hose and a 20lb gas tank. The tank will fit under the table, freeing tablespace, the gas tank is refillable and therefore better for the environment than the 16oz canisters which are used once only consumable. Cost wise once you have bought the gas tank it can be refilled at multiple locations, even some gas stations. To refill a 20lb gas tank will cost around $5 to $10. To Buy a 16oz canister will cost the same at $7 to $10 per 16oz canister. I know that you will need to buy a good propane gas hose and non-return value, and invest in a 20lb tank, but in the long run, it will be saving not to mention better for the environment.
