For those who spend a lot of time traveling or experiencing the great outdoors, eating nutritiously and maintaining a budget can be very easy if you purchase a camping stove.
Camping stoves come in many basic types:
- Alcohol-This does not burn as well as the other fuels, but is great to have for emergency kits
- Canister Gas-Ideal for warm-weather camping and very convenient to use
- Propane-The most popular as it is the easiest to find and use
- White Gas-Recommended for camping in higher elevations, but not around water as it is considered a high-pollutant
- Wood-Environmentally friendly and most any dry wood can be used
Camping stove uses
In addition to recreation, camp stoves are good to have on hand in case of emergencies like power outages, during big storms, in case you should have an emergency evacuation, or if your home oven or stove becomes inoperable. Be sure to have plenty of fuel on hand and always store it in a safe, dry place.
Camp stoves are sold in various sizes and for various uses. When shopping, make sure that you are getting the best camp stove to suit you particular needs and be sure to purchase the appropriate fuel for that stove. You may want to decide on the fuel that you prefer to use, and then buy a camp stove based on that.
