Outdoor Cooking Using Camping Stoves.
Just because you’re going camping doesn’t mean that you should give up on having warm water or a hot meal, and the solution is using camping stoves. Many people prefer the open fire for cooking, but it’s not that easy to control and you can’t cook anything you want on them. Using a camping stove lets you have eggs at breakfast for example, or to fry anything else, not just to boil them.
There are different types and sizes when it comes to camping stoves, which means that you can find those that are easier to carry around, and you might even need more than one if the group that goes camping is large. The early models used liquid fuel, which was pumped with pressure into the stove burners, but current models are based on liquid propane gas and they can be connected to a small bottle.
It’s generally safer to use a propane based camping stove, and it’s much easier to carry the fuel as well, since you don’t need to take with you liquids that are highly flammable in a can. Using propane is safer, but it can also be heavy if carried in the backpack for couple of days.
Consider Safety First With All Stoves
There are plenty of dangers that come with a camping stove, one of them being burning. Generally, if you use a camping stove with liquid fuels, there is always the danger that it might spill or leak and catch fire. The same goes for the bottled fuel, where turning the burner for a period of time before lighting it can provoke flare-ups that burn the user.
As for the number of burners, you can find camping stoves with one, two or more. Some of these camping stoves will need a separate fuel tank for each burner, but most use the same tank for every two burners they have. You should always place the camping stoves on surfaces that are stable and levels, so they don’t slide, spilling the water or the food on the ground.
Something that you should keep in mind, is that you shouldn't’t expect the same control over the size of the flame on camping stoves, as you do with the home stove. Don’t leave them unattended when they’re in use, because if oil spills on the flame it can be a disaster.
