Gas Stove

The  is a piece of equipment in DayZ Standalone. It is used in conjunction with Gas Canisters to cook food inside of a Cooking Pot or Frying Pan.

+ Pros
+ Does not take up additional inventory space when attached to or stored within a Frying Pan or Cooking Pot, giving you an easy Cooking option whilst on the move.

+ Does not need a Campfire Tripod to make use of Frying Pan or Cooking Pot.

+ Cooks as efficiently as a Fireplace without needing additional tools to acquire fuel and assemble a Fireplace Kit.

+ Does not require Matches or Hand Drill Kit to ignite or use.

+ Can be deployed on any surface, especially indoors to cook, whereas Fireplaces need specific location criteria.

+ Gives off significantly less light and smoke than a fire; thus concealing your position.

+ Portable source of heat to keep a player warm, especially when having to dry off after getting soaked in the rain.

+ A Cooking Pot that was recently heated will warm a player when placed in their inventory. Be careful to not overheat. The Gas Stove itself does not heat or damage a player.

- Cons
- Carrying around separate parts until they can be assembled can be quite inconvenient on Inventory space in the early game.

- Can only attach ONE x Frying Pan or Cooking Pot at a time whereas Stone Ovens and House Fireplaces can process 2+ utensils at a time.

- Without a Frying Pan or Cooking Pot, the stove is relatively useless as it does  not  allow the Long Wooden Stick Cooking method.

- Depending on the size of the attached Gas Canister; it will need replacing sometimes-forcing a player into towns eventually.
