Camping trips are more enjoyable when you have the perfect camping stove. Most types are lightweight, you don’t have to spend hours building a fire and you can still enjoy tasty meals regardless of the weather.
These are the various types of camping stoves:
It’s lightweight, easy to use, and low maintenance. To operate, screw the burner head into the gas canister and ignite. This stove tends to have stability issues but can be solved by using wide, serrated pan support.
Remote canister camping stove
This stove’s free-standing burner head connects to a gas canister through a flexible hose. It’s similar to the previous type but allows for greater stability and efficiency since it’s lower to the ground. The remote canister can be inverted for better performance, especially in cold weather.
Stove system
This all-in-one cohesive piece of packable kit lets you screw a burner head into a canister and attach an integrated to the burner head. Some models are made of lightweight materials but some may have lower stability and heavier weight.
Wood stove
It’s usually made of titanium and can fold flat. However, it’s less reliable and campers tend to avoid using it as it could trigger a wildfire and it can also be a hassle securing dry wood during rainy weather.
Alcohol stove
This light and simple stove integrates a windshield design and pot support allowing for a quicker boil time. It’s cheap, quiet, eco-friendly, and provides a back-to-basics experience.
Liquid and multifuel stove
It runs on white gas or paraffin, petrol, diesel, or jet fuel. It’s efficient for melting snow in winter camps and can be very powerful. Campers going on an expedition to remote parts prefer this type but it’s much heavier compared to a canister stove and needs more priming and maintenance.
