Camping
Stoves
Before setting out on your camping holiday you should ensure
that you have adequate supplies and utensils including the all important camping stove. Camping stoves will
vary considerably, from those used with lightweight backpacking to larger family multi-plate camping
cookers.
A camping stove can be as
straightforward as a single burner to a larger double burner with grill. Camp stoves often have legs to keep them
clear of the ground but are still easily transportable. The fuel used in the stove can vary from gas, propane,
butane, spirit, alcohol and unleaded. Popular stoves include Campingaz, Trangia, Coleman, Jetboil and
Outwell.
Purchasing a camping stove can sometimes be a challenging task. You need to ensure you obtain
the appropriate one for your specifc requirements. In the event that you are hiking you will want to obtain a
stove that is lightweight, compact and that you can carry without difficulty.
A Trangia is an example of one camping stove that may possibly
be a good idea if you need to have something small, or if you need to travel as light as possible. A
Trangia combines the methanol burner with all of the equipment that you need to do your cooking. In cases
where you are travelling by car with family then you can go for a much larger stove, right up to a full
kitchen set.
Backpacking Camping Stoves
Backpacking stoves can be used for pretty much any purpose and
you can expect to see them frequently if you're out hiking. They are uncomplicated and straightforward to use and
relatively light to carry. They can be fuelled by gas canister, methylated spirit or solid fuel. Each type of fuel
provides the backpacker with various advantages.
The convenience of gas canisters, the safety and economy of
methylated spirit burners, and then there's the simplicity and low price of solid fuel burners, although the last
option can in reality only be implemented for brief camping trips. Many camping stoves have wind protectors, which
can be extremely advantageous if you're camping in an environment that is unpredictable.
Family Camping Stoves
When it comes to family camping
stoves the most important thing is that they have to be safe and
uncomplicated to use. The weight of the camping stove is not normally a concern as these are more likely the
kind of stove you would mainly transport by car.
A family stove will typically be run by a more substantial gas
canister than the mountain or backpacker counterparts and the design and style will very often follow the form of a
typical household hob and very often, these types of stove will arrive with a grill attachment.
