Single-burner camping stoves weigh as little as 80 grams and pack down to pocket size, making them ideal for ultralight backpacking where every gram counts. Multi-burner stoves handle group cooking and complex meals with adjustable flames that let you simmer sauces while boiling water. Integrated windshields protect your flame from gusts that waste fuel and slow cooking times.
Multi-fuel camping stoves accept various liquid fuels like white gas or kerosene, giving you flexibility in remote locations where specific fuel types are hard to source. High wattage output means faster boiling and less fuel consumption per meal, saving weight and money over extended trips. Stable bases prevent tip-overs when supporting heavy pots on uneven ground or windy ridges.
Compact designs with folding pot supports pack small for rucksack storage, and piezo ignition systems start your stove without matches or lighters. Compatible fuel canisters in various sizes let you match weight to trip length, carrying only what you need for efficient packing.

A camping stove is a portable cooking device used outdoors to heat food or boil water. It typically runs on gas, liquid fuel, or wood, making it essential for camping, hiking, or backpacking trips.
Camping stoves include gas stoves (powered by propane or butane), wood stoves (burn biomass), and liquid fuel stoves (use white gas or kerosene). Each type is suited for different environments and camping needs.
Consider size, weight, fuel type, cooking capacity, and heat output. For backpacking, opt for lightweight models; for group camping, choose larger stoves with multiple burners.
Wood stoves are ideal for off-grid camping and provide consistent heat but require gathering wood. Gas stoves are more convenient and efficient for quick meals or short trips.
Disassemble the stove and clean components with mild soap and water. Remove ash from wood stoves regularly. Ensure all parts are dry before storing to prevent rust.
With proper maintenance, high-quality camping stoves can last several years. Durable materials like titanium or stainless steel increase longevity.
Yes, lightweight models like MSR PocketRocket or Jetboil systems are ideal for backpacking due to their compact size and efficient performance.
