[MUSIC PLAYING] With a camp stove, you can always enjoy a steaming hot cup of coffee and a delicious home cooked meal in any kind of weather, but which camp stove is right for you? Don't worry. You got this.
The type of stove you need depends on the type of camping you'll be doing. Planning on spending an extended period of time at camp and setting up a well-equipped kitchen? You'll love the power and versatility of a two or three-burner camp stove on adjustable legs. On this stove, you can easily cook just about anything you'd make at home, from pancakes to stir fries, burgers and chili. It's great for group camping, as it can connect to a 20-pound fuel tank to cook large meals.
For smaller groups staying in a campground for shorter trips, two-burner tabletop stoves are ideal. You can still cook like you're at home with the stove conveniently set up on your picnic table. This type of stove provides enough power for most recipes and is super easy to set up and use.
If you're venturing into the backcountry on foot or by canoe or kayak, you'll want a smaller stove that takes up less space in your backpack or boat. Backcountry stoves are designed to be portable, but they still let you eat well in the woods. You can get all the heat you need from their single burners, and most backcountry stoves allow you to regulate the heat level for simmering.
Camp stoves run on either liquid or pressurized fuel. Propane, butane, and blended fuel mixes come in pressurized canisters that you screw onto your stove and can start cooking with right away. Pressurized fuel is simple to use. It may not heat as quickly in extremely cold weather though. White gas comes in liquid form and needs to be pressurized first by pumping before it's ready to heat up, but it is a reliable source of heat, even in severe cold. For your convenience, some stoves come with adapters and can work with multiple types of fuel.
Make sure you buy a stove that offers the features you need for fast and easy cooking. Most newer camp stoves will boil water in anywhere from three to five minutes. Boiling time is more important in the backcountry because the less fuel you need to carry, the better. But if you're hungry and cold, short boiling time is always a great benefit.
Many camp stoves offer matchless lighting. All you do is push a button to ignite the burner. An efficient camp stove can bring one of the greatest comforts of home right to your campsite, anywhere, anytime. Don't worry, you got this.
