Quick item summary
Quick answer
The Gas Stove is a portable cooking equipment item in DayZ. It is used with Gas Canisters to cook food inside a Cooking Pot or Frying Pan. Unlike a normal fireplace, it does not require kindling, fuel, Matches, or a Hand Drill Kit, and it gives off much less light and smoke. This makes it useful for indoor cooking, stealthier cooking, and quick camp setups while traveling. The stove needs a Gas Canister and compatible cookware before it becomes useful.
