HOW TO CHOOSE A STOVE

HELPFUL TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAMPING STOVE PURCHASE

THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT STOVES OUT THERE AND CHOOSING THE RIGHT ONE CAN BETRICKY. HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU CHOOSE THE STOVE THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU:
A camp stove is a must-have for every outdoor enthusiast, but there are many factors to take into account when purchasing one. The first consideration when buying a camp stove is fuel type. The two most popular types of fuel available for camp stoves are butane/propane and white gas.

Butane/propane comes in disposable canisters that are both practical and relatively inexpensive. The only disadvantage of butane is that it doesn't perform well in cold weather. For summer and fall campers, this wouldn't be a problem, but if you're planning on four-season camping, you should consider a different type of camp stove.

For year-round camping, white gas, also known as naptha or Coleman fuel™, can be the perfect choice. Not only is it cheap, but it will burn in any temperature.

Access to extra fuel is important when buying a camp stove. While gas is common in the North America, butane is the preferred choice in Europe. Another option for overseas travelers is a multifuel camp stove, which runs on both gas and kerosene.

One feature few campers think about beforehand is stability. Large pots require large burners or the food will cook unevenly. The same is true of cooking on uneven surfaces, in which case a camp stove with adjustable legs is an asset.

Accessories should not be considered a luxury when choosing a camp stove. Carrying cases are now standard for many models, as they protect the knobs and hoses. Many camp stoves also come with a windshield.
