Camp stove cooking
These recipes have been created and tested by
genuine campers who know what works on a camp
stove. Many of them are one-pot meals and can
easily be cooked on a single ring burner. Whether
you use a single, double, or triple burner, cooking
on a camp stove is not difficult, but there are a few
safety issues that you should be aware of.
The most important rule is that you should NEVER
cook inside a tent because of the risk of fire. Set
up a little distance away, or if you need shelter, put
up a tarpaulin. An attached wind guard can be
really useful if you're cooking in bad weather, but
always be careful near dry wood and grass. Make
sure you know how to turn the gas off and that
you can reach the valve at all times.
Keep things simple
and try not to create too much
clean-up work. Give everyone a fork and eat out of
the pan if you're feeling really lazy. Perhaps most
importantly though, make those portions extra
generous—spending so much time outside makes
people really hungry, so cook even more than you
would at home—and have fun!
