What about Camp Stoves


The camp stove or outdoor appliance comes in a large variety of styles such as propane grills to campfire toasters. Camp stoves come in many sizes with different uses for all the needs of the camper. The double burner stove can be used by the everyday camper or outdoors person. Then you have the single burner camp stove that is lighter, much smaller and more versatile, suitable for hiking. The single burner camp stove will fit nicely in a backpack. Camp stoves help make it easier to have a more enjoyable camping experience for those who like to make an adventure in the great outdoors.


There is nothing like a hot breakfast to start the day off or, a warm meal at the end of a long day. We have camp stoves from Brunton, Optimus, Primus, Stansport, and more. Camp stoves are fueled by white gas, propane, butane, and multi-fuel options. A single burner hiking camp stove is an inexpensive way to cook a hot meal. The multi burner camp stoves are a little more.




You can cook over or in a camp fire and do something called a foil dinner. A foil dinner is a meal in which you take a piece of heavy aluminum foil and make a pouch. Then put some meat in and add potatoes and carrots - add a little water and your seasonings are last. Put it in the fire for 30 minutes and you've got yourself a hot meal. You can cook hamburgers like this too. You can also set pots and pans in the fire and cook this way. Cooking in the fire this way may cause burn holes in your pots or they can tip over. There is no way to regulate the heat. Another way is to use a cooking grate. It's a grate that sets above the fire and is a level, flat surface and will get your pots and pans out of the fire. This is good but, you still have to deal with the heat and the smoke. When you use a camp stove the stove produces no smoke and the heat is regulated. You can cook on them just like your stove at home. Your pans are less likely to tip over. The 2 burner stoves have wind blocks to keep the wind from blowing out the flame. When you go to a lighter camp stove the price goes up.
