Worth it if fuel is ready
Worth it or skip it?

Skip it if
- You haven't confirmed that you can obtain the specified butane or propane fuel yet.
Key facts
Accepted fuel formatsYou need a compatible fuel container available; neither fuel is included.
A sensible outage stove—with fuel planning
Choose it for outage cooking if you can keep a compatible butane cartridge or propane cylinder available. Plan manual backup ignition too, since the sources do not guarantee piezo operation in every outage condition.
Buy on AmazonWhen the lights go out
When the lights drop out, the Gas One GS-3400P sits ready for a pot—provided its specified fuel is on hand.
Fuel, not household power
The stove burns liquefied petroleum gas rather than drawing power from the household. It accepts one 8 oz butane cartridge or a 16.4 oz propane cylinder, and the included converter regulator enables the propane setup; fuel is not included. Its automatic piezo ignition is designed to light without a match or lighter, but the sources do not establish performance in every outage condition.
The outage question becomes a fuel-and-backup-ignition check, not a search for household electricity.
Before you choose
Does this stove need household electricity to run?
It is listed as gas powered and uses liquefied petroleum gas, so its stated power source is fuel rather than household electricity.
Can it use propane during an outage?
Yes. It is advertised for propane or butane, with a propane converter regulator included; fuel itself is not included.
Does it include fuel?
No. The listed butane and propane fuels are not included; the included component is the stove.
