Companion makes camp cooking equipment — two-burner stoves, ovens, tent heaters, and cooking accessories. At Dwights, the Companion range covers serious camp cooking setups for car camping, caravanning, and base camp use where you want more than a single-burner hiker stove.
The Companion 2-burner range is a practical step up from a backpacking stove — two independent burners give you the ability to cook a main and boil water simultaneously, significantly reducing camp cooking time for groups or families.
The Companion Range at Dwights
- 2 Burner Stoves: Side-by-side burners on a folding frame. Runs on standard LPG or propane canisters. The Weekender is the core car camping model; the 2 Burner and Grill adds a cast iron grill plate for cooking meat properly at camp.
- 2 Burner Stove & Oven Combo: Two burners plus a fold-out oven — for serious camp cooking where you want to bake, roast, or cook pizza. Popular for extended trips and caravanning.
- AeroHeat Ducted Tent Heater: Lithium-powered ducted heater for tent heating — safe for enclosed spaces, unlike open-flame heaters. For cold NZ camping in shoulder season or alpine conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 2-burner camp stove worth it for NZ camping?
For family camping or any group cooking more than simple boil-and-eat meals, yes. Two burners simultaneously means you can cook a main and make a sauce, boil pasta and fry vegetables, or keep food warm while finishing another dish. For a couple doing straightforward camp cooking, a single burner is sufficient. For families or anyone who wants to cook proper meals at camp, the upgrade to two burners is worth it.
What gas does Companion use?
Companion 2-burner stoves run on standard LPG (propane/butane) canisters — the same format as most camp stoves. Larger refillable LPG cylinders with the appropriate regulator and hose are more economical for extended trips. Check the specific model's gas connection type before buying accessories. The cylinder adaptor in our range converts between fitting types for different canister formats.
Is the Companion tent heater safe to use inside a tent?
The Companion AeroHeat is a ducted lithium-powered electric heater — it doesn't produce combustion gases, making it safe for use in enclosed tent spaces where open-flame heaters are not. It runs from a lithium battery (not mains power), making it practical for remote camping. It's not a substitute for appropriate cold-weather sleeping gear, but it significantly improves comfort in cold NZ camping conditions.
