LPG Cookers

Churning out easy one-pot meals, enjoying a hearty supper around a campfire, and sharing snacks under a blue sky are some of the many perks of caravanning. But these idyllic holidays wouldn't be possible without LPG cookers. After all, these are the fastest, safest, and most economical cookers out there.

If, like most caravanners, you don't have the luxury of an external gas point and the convenience of having an outdoor appliance, then LPG ovens are your best option when it comes to enjoying home-cooked meals when you're away from home. Here's what you need to know about LPG cookers and finding the right one:

LPG Cookers in a Nutshell
There are only so many dishes you can cook with a microwave oven, and gas remains the caravanner's main fuel source for cooking. There are three types of cookers: gas, electricity, and dual-fuel. LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas – more specifically propane or butane, two liquids that evaporate if released in the atmosphere. LPG cookers come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the purpose and how they're fitted: ovens, grills, ignition hobs, combination hobs, freestanding, built-in, drop-in, slide-in, or built-under cookers.

Types of LPG Ovens
Freestanding or built-in LPG cookers are generally suitable for static caravans with 230V ignition. But there are various models of LPG ovens with a 12V supply as well, and they are perfect for motorhomes, mobile homes, and boats. Our LPG ovens and cookers also come in a selection of sizes suitable for different models of caravan.

At Leisureshopdirect, we stock LPG cooking appliances and accessories to suit all budgets and needs. This includes built-in LPG cookers, free standing LPG ovens for static caravans, and 12-volt ignition hobs and cookers. We supply the most popular and reputable brands in the field, including Dometic, Sunngas, Stoves, and Thetford. From entry-level to top-of-the-range cookers, and from compact mini-grills to hobs with four burners only, or even to scaled-down versions of domestic appliances, our cookers are available from top brands in a wide array of styles and sizes.

What to Look for in LPG Ovens
If you enjoy cooking when you're away from home, then a decent oven can make all the difference. Our selection of built-in and free-standing LPG cookers includes models that are ideal for static caravans, mobile homes, boats, and motorhomes alike. They come complete with basic features, such as oven, grill, and hobs.

We also stock a wide range of accessories, including lids, racks, trays, and shelves, as well as spare parts, such as couplers, fascia stickers, and knobs. Our advice is to browse not only our selection of LPG cookers, but also the accessories and spares we have available, because a good-quality and well-maintained cooker should last you over a decade.

Finding the perfect cooker is as much a matter of size as it is a matter of personal taste. Some of our most popular entry-level cookers are the Sunngas Portable Gas Stove with Single Burner, the SMEV Series 200 Mini Oven, and the 18-litre Dometic OV1800 built-in mini-oven.

Space-efficient oven/grill cookers with integrated hob are also extremely popular for their versatility. Take the Dometic Starlight, for instance. This combination unit features a slim outline while also offering all the convenience of a domestic stove. If you'd like an extra narrow footprint, then the compact 20-litre Dometic OG2000 Cooker and Grill is the perfect LPG oven for your worktop.

At the top of our range is the Thetford Spinflo Aspire MK2 Oven and Grill, a 12V freestanding LPG cooker with anti-rattle shelves, followed closely by the Spinflo Cocina for 230V supply. But if you have the space, then any one of the LPG cookers in our Thetford Hobs and Cookers range should serve you well.

Whatever your preference, make it a buy worth bragging about by opting for quality names, such as Smev, Spinflo, and Dometic. These units come in a variety of styles, some with stylish glass lids and others in conventional stainless steel casing, so there's a model out there to suit every décor.

From mini-grills to built-in smaller-scaled cookers with integrated hobs, we stock a wide variety of individually styled appliances, as well as some with matching sinks, hobs, and accessories. Browse our latest range today, and you're bound to find a model to suit all your needs and tastes, as well as whatever space requirements you may have for your caravan, campervan, motorhome, boat, or tent.
