Choose one burner if most meals use one pot or pan and you value a smaller kit. Choose two when you often cook separate dishes at the same time and have room to carry the wider stove, cookware and fuel. Compare the full setup rather than burner count alone.
Bodega Cooler VM-YC05 Two Burner Camping Stove with Pan
A two-burner propane setup for vehicle camps. We recommend Bodega Cooler’s VM-YC05 for vehicle campers who want two separately controlled propane burners in a compact folding setup. The selected with-pan option adds a useful cooking surface, while its 5.4 lb listed weight and propane fuel make it a better fit beside the car than in a backpack.

Start with what you cook at once
Write down a few meals you actually make at camp. If they rely on a kettle, one pot or a single pan, one burner can cover the job with less gear to pack. When you regularly cook a main and side together, two burners let you keep both moving at once and avoid waiting for one vessel to finish before starting the next.
Check the cookware footprint
Two burners help only when your pots and pans fit the supports together. Compare the cookware base sizes with the stove’s burner spacing, then check that handles can move without crowding the neighboring vessel. A maker’s claim that a surface fits two pans is a helpful starting point; dimensions and the shape of your own cookware matter more than the headline.
Count the weight and fuel as part of the stove
For a vehicle campsite, a larger stove may be easy to justify because the cooking area is close to the car. For a walk-in campsite or a trip on foot, include the fuel container, hose, cookware and food in the carried load. A two-burner propane stove can be convenient at camp while still being too bulky or heavy for your pack.
Where the Bodega VM-YC05 fits
Bodega lists the VM-YC05 as a propane model with two separately controlled burners rated at 10,000 BTU/h each. It lists a 5.4 lb stove weight and a 106 cm hose; the propane cylinder is sold separately. The selected Foldable Stove with a Pan option has a separate SKU from the no-pan option. Read our exact-variant review for the listed price, the conflicting folded-size details and the package-list gap around the pan accessory.
A few good questions.
Is a two-burner camp stove worth carrying?
It can be when you prepare two dishes at once and cook for a group. If your menu uses one vessel at a time, one burner can save space and weight.
Will two burners fit any two pans?
No. Compare the pan bases and handles with the stove support layout. The manufacturer may state a cookware size, but check the exact stove and your own vessels.
Is the Bodega VM-YC05 suitable for backpacking?
Bodega lists the stove at 5.4 lb before its separate propane cylinder. That makes it a more natural fit for vehicle camping than for a pack where every pound and cubic inch matters.
Does the Bodega VM-YC05 include propane?
No. Bodega says standard small propane cylinders work and says the cylinder is not included.
Where can I find the Bodega code terms?
The Bodega Cooler code page shows the partner code and its current terms. The partner record does not list this stove’s model eligibility or whether it stacks with store promotions.
