Short answer

The Gas One GS-1000G 7,650 BTU butane camp stove lists several built-in safeguards: an auto safety shut-off that stops gas flow if it detects irregular pressure, a built-in system that ejects the butane canister if it detects irregular gas pressure, a push-and-turn knob that needs deliberate force, a knob that does not heat up, a windguard ring and rubber feet. Gas One says it is for outdoor use only.

At a glance

Best for

  • Outdoor cooks who want a one-burner butane stove with a pressure-triggered gas shut-off
  • Campers who would rather not carry a lighter or matches, since it has piezo electric ignition
  • Cooking on uneven or slick outdoor surfaces, where the rubber feet help it stay put

Skip it if

  • You need a stove to use indoors: Gas One labels the GS-1000G for outdoor use only
  • You need more than one burner: Gas One sells the GS-1000G as a 1-burner stove

What we like

  • Auto safety shut-off cuts gas flow when irregular pressure (5-7 kg/cm² or greater) is detected
  • Built-in cartridge ejection system ejects the butane canister if irregular gas flow or pressure (5-7 kg/cm² or greater) is detected
  • Push-and-turn knob needs deliberate force, and the knob is designed not to heat up
  • Windguard ring around the burner head shields the flame from wind

Good to know

  • Fuel is not included; you need to buy 8 oz butane canisters separately
  • Gas One labels it for outdoor use only
  • It is a single-burner stove

How the GS-1000G's safety features work

An automatic gas shut-off for irregular pressure

Gas One says the GS-1000G has an auto safety shut-off device that stops gas flow if it detects irregular flow or pressure of 5-7 kg/cm² or greater.

The canister ejects on irregular pressure

The stove has a built-in cartridge ejection system that ejects the butane fuel canister if irregular gas flow or pressure of 5-7 kg/cm² or greater is detected, according to the maker.

A push-and-turn knob that does not heat up

Gas One describes a push-and-turn knob that requires the user to exert force to use, and a heat-resistant knob that does not heat up, making it safe to touch during operation in the maker's words.

A steadier flame and footing outdoors

A circular windguard ring around the burner head protects the flame against wind, and built-in rubber feet are meant to grip uneven or slick surfaces so the stove stays in place, the maker says. Air vents allow for ventilation.

How to use it

  1. Buy an 8 oz butane canister separately, since Gas One says fuel is not included.
  2. Set the stove up outdoors; the maker labels it for outdoor use only.
  3. Light it with the built-in piezo electric ignition, which Gas One says removes the need for lighters or matches.
  4. Use the push-and-turn knob, which is designed to need deliberate force, to operate the burner.

Questions buyers ask

Does the Gas One GS-1000G shut off by itself?

Gas One says its auto safety shut-off device stops gas flow if irregular flow or pressure of 5-7 kg/cm² or greater is detected.

Can I use the GS-1000G indoors?

No. Gas One labels the GS-1000G "For Outdoor Use Only."

Do I need matches to light it?

No. The maker says its piezo electric ignition device eliminates the need for lighters or matches.

What fuel does the GS-1000G take, and is it included?

Gas One lists an 8 oz butane canister as the fuel, and states "Fuel Not Included," so canisters are bought separately.

Does the knob get hot while cooking?

Gas One describes the knob as heat resistant: a knob that does not heat up during operation.

Does it come with a case?

Gas One's product page description says it comes with a portable carrying case.

The bottom line

If your priority is built-in safeguards on a single-burner butane stove for outdoor cooking, the Gas One GS-1000G lists an automatic gas shut-off for irregular pressure, canister ejection, a push-and-turn knob, a knob that does not heat up, a windguard and rubber feet. Plan to buy 8 oz butane canisters separately and use it outdoors only.
