Portable stoves
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
The main advantage of a portable stove is being able to cook in awkward places, such as mountains, where conventional cookers are not available.
There are many different types of portable stove available on the market. Some run on a mixture of propane and butane gas and some will run on various types of liquid fuel such as kerosene or unleaded petrol. The best types can be packed away into tight spaces or broken down into small unobtrusive parts. It is important to know that it is forbidden to carry the fuel on any aircraft, so one should always check the availability of gas cannisters before embarking on any flight.
Potrable stoves are available in most camping and outdoor activity shops and usually come complete with instructions. However recipes and cooking guidelines are the responsibility of the owner.
