Gas One GS-8400OR Orange Crate Camp Stove review

Short take: the Gas One GS-8400OR is the orange-finish version of the Crate Camp Stove: a one-burner tabletop butane model with a maker-listed 6,800 BTU output, 8 oz cartridge size, piezo ignition and adjustable heat. It has more explicit controls and safety-feature descriptions than a bare burner, but the page does not specify a cookware ceiling or approve an added windscreen. Its page weight and Shopify variant weight are not reconciled, so the apparently modest tabletop dimensions should not be mistaken for a confirmed carry-weight rating.

Orange finish, exact stove identity

Gas One's current US page identifies GS-8400OR by its complete SKU. The page-linked product photograph shows the orange Crate body and the stove's single burner, control dial and pot supports. The color is a real retail distinction, not a different fuel system or a separate operating plan in the sources reviewed. The orange, brown GS-8400BW and violet GS-8400VI pages carry the same published fuel, output, dimensions and feature set; no source reviewed establishes a functional change among those finishes. Keep the exact suffix when comparing a seller's listing and the photographed color.

The official page lists an 8 oz butane cartridge, says fuel is not included, and restricts use to outdoors. It gives a 6,800 BTU output claim and lists dimensions of 10.5 × 7.1 × 3.75 inches. Gas One describes the flame control as adjustable for quick boils and controlled simmering. These details make the stove relevant to a compact outdoor table where one cooking position and a separate butane cartridge fit the plan. They are manufacturer statements, not measured heat output, timed boils, or an independent simmer test.

Controls and claimed safeguards need the manual

The product page describes push-and-turn activation, piezo ignition, a removable top grate, non-slip feet and a magnetic cartridge lock. It also claims an automatic shut-off and cartridge-ejection response if abnormal gas flow or pressure is detected. Those are design claims from Gas One, not certification results or a substitute for inspection. The page does not link a full exact-model instruction manual in the reviewed record, so confirm how the cartridge is installed, how the stove must be placed, and what clearances apply before operation.

The 8400 page does not establish a maximum pot diameter, cookware weight, minimum pan size or permission for a separate windscreen. Its image is not a pan-fit test. A request for an added wind screen is a hard reason to pause: do not infer approval from the compact body or from another stove in the Crate family. Ask the maker for the GS-8400OR instructions, then use the exact answer for this SKU.

Do not use the listed weight as a pack limit

The product page states 3.79 lb. The exact variant record also carries a numeric weight value of 2,472, but that field has no visible unit or clear basis in the captured record. The two entries cannot be confidently reconciled into a minimum stove-only weight or a complete package weight. The fact used by the matcher therefore leaves minimum weight unknown. If carry weight is a limiting requirement, ask for a manufacturer-labeled stove-only figure and weigh the actual purchased setup.

The official product page excludes fuel but does not itemize every box component. A verified exact orange retailer listing describes a carrying case and user manual, yet that package detail should be checked on the offer being considered rather than generalized to all sellers. No price, inventory state or other retailer's bundle is part of this assessment.

Where the orange Crate version fits

The GS-8400OR is most useful to compare when a single 8 oz butane arrangement, ordinary table placement and maker-described adjustable output suit the meal plan. Its short listed dimensions and color may help a shopper distinguish it from a conventional black camp stove, but the published sources give no hard pan boundary and do not confirm how a loaded vessel will sit. The top grate is described as removable for cleaning; that does not establish spare-part availability or a maintenance procedure.

This assessment covers the orange US GS-8400OR identity only. It does not report personal use, measured stability, flame behavior, fuel efficiency or cooking time. Check the exact Gas One GS-8400OR product page, package details and current instructions, and do not substitute the BW or VI suffix if the color or exact model code matters.
