Traveling to the great outdoors and communing with nature is a enjoyable way to get out of the city and breathe in the fresh air. While you want a taste of living in nature, a camping trip doesn't have to mean eating cold food and freezing at night.
Some campsites don't allow fires so contact the facility ahead of time or check out their website for information. In any case, cooking stoves and heaters designed for the outdoors provide a way of making your camping experience more enjoyable and comfortable.
Camping stoves come in a variety of sizes and features. Choose one that best suits your needs. If you'll be hiking with your equipment then select one that is lightweight and small; there are ones especially made for backpacking
If you're planning on driving to your campsite and have a large family then consider a stove with multiple burners. They allow you to cook bigger and multiple dishes. There are even stoves that have a grill for making eggs and pancakes.
Special cookware for camping is made so you can make more than one dish at a time. They're stackable so you can cook multiple dishes by using the heat from the bottom pot to heat the top one. You can prepare food more quickly and conserve your fuel. Remember to use the smallest pot or pan possible and as little water for boiling food; it will conserve your fuel.
Camping stoves take various kinds of fuels and it usually depends on the manufacturer. Propane, butane or white gas (commonly referred to as "Coleman" fuel) is commonly used and preferable. Kerosene and unleaded gas is still used but is not preferred since it emits an unpleasant odor and are not as safe. Coleman fuel should be your first choice since it is the safest and burns clean without odor or charring. Propane is pricey and doesn't burn as hot but it is the cleanest burning fuel.
Fuel canisters come in various sizes and choosing the right size for your needs depends on how much cooking you'll be doing and for how long you'll be camping. If you're hiking with your equipment then stick to a small canister and cook sparingly.
Some campsites provide cooking facilities but it will be more convenient and less burdensome to bring your own cooking source. Planning ahead and bringing a cooking stove will ensure an enjoyable camping trip.
