What to cook on
Camping stoves are more efficient and convenient than
cooking on an open fire. There are two kinds of burners,
pressurized and unpressurized, and several kinds of fuel:
gas, most commonly a propane and butane mix, or either
one on its own; liquid fuels, like kerosene (also known as
paraffin), gasoline, white gas, or methylated spirits
(denatured alcohol); and solid fuels (which are cheap, but
slow). You won't be able to fly with stove fuel, so check that
your destination country can supply the fuel you need.
Gas twin burner with grill
• This kind of stove is most
appropriate for car camping, and
recreates the easy convenience of
cooking at home.
• There are two burners, meaning you
can cook more complex meals, and a
grill for toast or bacon.
• Big gas stoves tend to have big
cylinders, which will last for a week or
so of camping, but they must be refilled
at a camping outfitter's. Make sure you
know where you can refill your canister.
Bigger campsites will often stock it.
