Over the years we make mistakes and gain experience, we sometimes buy duff kit and we learn by our mistakes. It's the mistakes that prompted me to put www.best-camping-stoves.com together. As you may have guessed from the title this website is dedicated to the many different types of stoves that are available. All of the featured stoves will do the basic job of cooking, but they are not necessarily suitable for everyone. A small spirit stove, for instance, isn't much good for a family of 4 or more. Likewise the heavier solid fuel stoves are completely useless for an individual going backpacking. The purpose of this site is to show you the alternatives and help guide you into making the right choice, first time.
Firstly you need to consider the basics
- Are you going away with a young family and/or elderly relatives, by car?
- Is there only likely to be two or three of you, but again travelling by car?
- Are you a single or couple, backpacking, hiking or hitchhiking?
If you are going to travel a lot on foot I would suggest that you stick to a small spirit stove, the Trangia Spirit Stove is a firm favourite or a single burner portable propane stove. These are both lightweight and easily carried. Be sure to take at least one extra propane cylinder with you and if you do take a spirit stove, make absolutely certain that you get yourself a proper carry bottle. The last thing you need is inflammable spirit leaking into your rucksack.
If there are just two of you, you'll get by adequately with a two burner propane stove, unless of course, you want the luxury that I'm going to suggest for the larger camping group.
The family or larger group get the bees knees. For you I reccomend that you get two stoves. The first will be a solid fuel fire such as the Cobb, or one of the others we feature. The second stove would be one of the two ring propane stoves that we also feature. This will give you the flexibility to prepare great menus, without running out of cooking space. Have a look to the product list on the left and click whichever suits your circumstance or group size etc.
