Best Portable Electric Burners: Perfect for Van Life, Car Camping, Road Trip Meals, Emergency Prep

You're not limited to grills, wood fires or a propane stone when camping! We love using this portable single burner to boil water, make soup, and cook a variety of foods while traveling.

This is perfect for van life, car camping, road trip meals or even if you have an RV and you don't want to use propane for cooking.

We power ours with our 1,000 watt Jackery. The portable power station is charged with solar, so it's completely off grid. We love our Jackery and highly recommend one for camping: https://jackery.sjv.io/Nk041N

You could also use this portable electric cooktop with your house battery or plugging it in outdoors with an exterior outlet.
