Suggestions for cooktops


We do not like to cook inside the van, we found that odors and the inevitable smoke and splatters really make a mess. We carry a Coleman two burner propane stove and a portable Pit Boss grill for all our cooking, we also do have a small microwave in the van for reheating leftovers or pre cooked food.

upd: just a small update, still learning on my Pit Boss but find the grate temps to vary quite a bit throughout the smoker. As it requires moving or rotating the meat periodically. And it turns out that humidity is a real problem. Should swap it for a propane later.

It may be difficult to find a good small stove for your tiny space. Most of the available options are created for the marine industry, and many cost a pretty penny. But with a little research, you will find several RV stove options to make cooking a breeze while on the road. Here are five options for cooking on the road.
 
I had to replace the cooktop in my Fifth Wheel, and after trying a few options, I found that induction cooktops offer great efficiency and safety, especially for mobile setups. They heat quickly and cool down fast, which is helpful when space and power are limited. Gas cooktops are still popular because they’re reliable and don’t rely on electricity, but ventilation can be tricky in smaller RV kitchens. When I was sorting all this out, I also came across EATApp—not related to cooktops but interesting for anyone into food and restaurants. It’s a cloud-based system that helps restaurants manage reservations and guests efficiently, which I thought was pretty cool. In the end, choosing the right cooktop depends on your power source, space, and cooking style. It’s worth considering durability and ease of cleaning too, especially on the road.
