Many nature-tripping adventurers would find it difficult to think of camping with no campfire. Campfires, after all, are important when you need to cook, have some warmth when the weather is cold, or plainly just to have it as a primitive but romantic way of spending the night outdoors, camping.
The good news is camp cooking can now be easier, more convenient and, more importantly, safer for everyone who wants more time to enjoy their camping trip rather than trying hard to cook their camping food. Now we have camping stoves: small, safe and very easy to use. You surely will have more time to enjoy your camping adventures to the hilt rather than building campfires for cooking. Besides, in many national forest camping grounds and campsites, campfires are deemed safety hazards and are simply not allowed. So camping or portable cooking stoves--being small, safe and easier to use--are instant substitutes.
Portable camping stoves are designed for the benefit of the users who, expectedly, are campers who need equipment or tools that are easy to carry, fuss-free and safe. Camping stoves fall under four basic categories; they are classified on the basis of the kind of fuel they use. The most basic type is the single-burner that does not have any control mechanisms and uses either a liquid or solid fuel. There are other single-burner stoves as well but use a stove tank that compresses liquid fuel, and their top serves as the burner control.
There is also another type which has one or two burners and makes use of gas. It has small mechanisms to control the gas amount being used up. The height of its flames is similar to that of a regular-sized gas stove we use at home.
The last type of these camping stoves uses fuel that trickles down by simple gravity and into the priming pan. This type, however, has been substituted by gas stoves for their portability. One advantage for this type of stoves, however, is that it has a much lower risk of causing a fire, thus preventing possible fire mishaps.
We may experience some problems with these camping stoves as they are quite susceptible to the elements around us, the wind in particular. While sometimes the wind may not extinguish the burner’s flames while you are cooking, it can cause the flames to either fade out or generate heat unevenly against the bottom surface which in turn will likely diminish the efficacy of your portable stove.
So if you wish to avoid these kinds of problems, consider some stove models that provide built-in protection against the wind. While these stoves either come in larger sizes or are less portable, they pose, on the positive side, less problems when you cook. In some instances campers would rather just create their own type of wind shields, but this, too, can be dangerous. The wind can be unpredictable in its direction and strength, therefore your creation of a wind shield can unexpectedly be ignited and start an accidental fire. On the other hand, aluminum foil is considered safer as an alternative wind shield if one becomes necessary.
