Buying a Camping Stove for your Next Camping Trip!

Buying a camping stove can be a tricky business.
You want to make sure you get the right one for you.
If you are hiking, you need to get something that is compact and will carry easily. A Trangia might be a good idea if you need something small, or if you are only cooking for yourself. A Trangia combines a methanol burner with all of the equipment that you need to do your cooking.
If you are traveling by car, then you can go for a setup as large as you like, right up to a full kitchen set (if it takes your fancy!).
Some camping stoves also come with wind protectors, which can be very useful if you're camping outside.

Camping stoves run on a variety of fuels and the type of fuel you will be using will play an important factor in your decision.

The most popular fuel is butane or propane gas or a propane/butane mix. These come in cartridges or large refillable cylinders. This type of fuel is predictable and stable, lights easily and performs well, and is controllable in terms of the level of heat you require. The cartridges or cylinders attach directly to the stove. Resealable cartridges are good as they can be removed from the stove, so there is no chance of the gas being switched on accidentally. These smaller stoves are more suited to be used with smaller pans and cookware sets and cannot comfortably accommodate larger pans.

If you're a backpacker, you will probably want an MSR Stove or an Optimus Stove. Both have been popular with backpackers for decades.

Larger stoves often use cylinders attached with a gas hose and regulator. These aren't carried easily so are only suitable if you are traveling by car. These stoves often include a lid and side wind shield. If you are camping in low temperatures, propane is more suitable than butane as it freezes at lower temperatures.

Pressure stoves run on pressurised petroleum. They can get very hot and are very fuel efficient. These types of cookers come in a range of sizes, from small compact burners suitable for backpackers to double burners suitable for families.

Methylated spirit stoves run on meths which, as a liquid, doesn't need to be pressurized. It is instant lighting and there is no need for preheating. Meths produces an almost colorless flame so care needs to be taken in the daytime. Meths only really gives about half the heat of the alternatives, so isn't the most efficient. The most common types of meths burners is the Trangia range which are simple to use, compact lightweight and cost efficient.

You might want to consider the price of the gas refills or methelated spirits when making your purchase. And don't forget to take spares! There's nothing worse than having the food to cook with no means to cook it.

If you have small children then safety may be an issue. You might want something that is stable and safe when there are footballs flying about! so you can go for something with a stand.

The right stove can make a big difference in the quality of your camping experience so choose wisely and and consider having different stoves for all your different situations.

Trangia Stoves

trangia-stovesWhen hiking in the backcountry, there is hardly any worse thing that spending a lot of time searching for firewood to made your meals. Don't get me wrong, I love campfires during my trips, but they are not the best way for cooking my meals everyday. This is one of the main reasons why carrying a good backpacking stove is a must for anyone traveling in the wild. However, before deciding to buy one, you must consider what kind of stove is the best for you? Basically, we can divide backpacking stoves in three types: alcohol, pressurized canister, and liquid fuel. In this article, I will state three reasons for using a backpacking liquid fuel stove in your trips.

1. You can use liquid fuel stoves in the widest range of situations. So, if you only can buy one stove, then buy a liquid fuel. You can use them effectively in any kind of weather, so they are perfect for using in winter. High altitudes don't represent a problem for them either. Whereas canister or alcohol stoves can fail if the weather is too cold or you are traveling at very high altitude.

2. The heat output of the liquid fuel stoves is the most powerful. So they will cook your meals in the least amount of time. This difference is notable against alcohol stoves. Cooking with alcohol stoves can take an unnecessary amount of your time. With canister stoves, in optimal conditions, this difference in cooking power is least noticeable, however you need only a little wind and it appears again.

3. One of the most important objections against liquid fuel stoves is the price. Buying a liquid fuel stove is most expensive than buying any of the other two types of stove. Especially, if we consider that alcohol stoves can be homemade. But that is not true if we compare liquid fuel stoves with canister stoves. In the long run a liquid fuel stove is cheaper than a canister stove. That's because the disposable canisters are more expensive than white gas. So to the initial cost of a canister stove we must add the cost of canisters along the time.

Of course, liquid fuel backpacking stoves have downsides. They are heavier than the other types of stoves, and require more maintenance in the field. After all, no type of stove is perfect for everything. The ideal would be to have various stoves and to use the appropriate stove for each occasion. However, if this ideal were not possible, then a liquid fuel stove could be more than enough.
