Tips for making the right choice

Maintenance and safety

• Store fuel in a dry place and out of reach of children.
• After use, let the stove cool down before storing it.
• Replace worn parts and check for leaks if the stove has them.

FAQ

• What are the best stoves for camping?

  The best depend on usage. For lightness: solid fuel stove or mini alcohol stove. For power and versatility: multi-fuel stove or cartridge system (if you accept the extra weight).

• How to properly maintain a stove?

  Regular cleaning, checking seals and the cartridge holder if present. Store in a dry place. In case of clogging, use a cloth and a bit of alcohol to degrease.

• What are the advantages of stainless steel pots?

  Robustness, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, and compatibility with multiple heat sources. They are often heavier than aluminum or titanium but more durable.

• Can a stove be used indoors?

  Generally no. Solid fuel and alcohol stoves emit fumes and a risk of CO poisoning. Use them only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area and without fire risk.
