What are the different types of camp kitchen stoves and burners?
There are a wide variety of camp stoves and burners, including canister stoves, butane grills, single and double burner stoves, camp fire pits, and even specialty options such as a pizza oven. With advantages to each one, you should choose one according to your needs, whether it’s heating up simple canned foods or serving your family meals on the grill.
· Canister stoves – These traditionally lightweight and compact stoves are ideal for simple tasks such as boiling water or heating up canned goods.
· One to two-burner stoves – Operating on propane canisters, these stoves with burners act similarly to ones at home.
· Fire pits – A great alternative to starting a fire pit. Portable fire pits keep the fire contained and allow you to roast marshmallows and cook hotdogs.
· Camping grills – For BBQ dinners and serving a large group of people, a camping grill is perfect for serving up burgers, grilled veggies, fish and more.
Are camp stoves worth it?
Camp stoves are worth it if you plan to cook meals or want to have hot food and drink on your trip. As they come in many sizes, you can opt for a small canister stove for a backpacking trip or a bigger grill for an extended stay in a camper van.
What features should I look for in a camp kitchen stove or burner?
There are a few things you should consider when buying a camp stove including the stove style, the number of burners, the number of BTUs you need, the fuel type the stove uses, and its weight and size. Gas stoves are the most cost-effective and fuel is most readily available, while propane and butane are popular and commonly used for outdoor grills. Ensure the one you choose meets all your criteria and needs.
