A camping stove is one of those purchases where spending a bit more makes a real difference. The gap between a cheap stove and a quality one is enormous when you are cold, wet, and hungry.
Types of Camping Stove
Canister stoves use screw-on gas canisters. Light, compact, easy to use. Two-burner stoves run on larger propane cylinders. More stable and powerful. Multi-fuel stoves burn gas, petrol, or diesel.

What to Look For
Boil time, wind resistance, built-in igniter, and stability. For car camping prioritise stability; for backpacking prioritise weight.
