How to Choose a Backpacking Stove
Decide on the stove type you want
Backpacking stoves are categorized by the type of fuel they use and how the fuel is stored.
Canister stoves use canisters of isobutane or propane. They’re easy to use and low maintenance.
Integrated canister systems pair a canister with a burner and a built-in pot.
Liquid fuel stoves connect to refillable fuel bottles. They’re versatile because they burn many types of fuels like white gas, kerosene and unleaded auto fuel.
Alternative-fuel stoves run on fuel pellets, wood or other fuel.
The pros and cons of each type
Canister stoves. Pros: easy to use. Low maintenance. Boils quickly. Cons: flame can weaken in the cold.
Integrated canister systems. Pros: boil water extremely quickly. Cons: prone to tipping.
Liquid fuel stoves. Pros: work well in cold weather. Boil water quickly, even in cold weather. Cons: require priming and occasional maintenance.
Wood-Burning Stoves. Pros: often simple, lightweight. Cons: require finding dry wood. Fire bans may limit use.
Denatured Alcohol Stoves. Pros: simple, quiet, use cheap alcohol. Cons: slow to boil.
Select the right specs and features
Consider a stove’s weight, average time to boil one liter of water and whether it features a push-button spark igniter (found on some canister-fuel stoves).

Brightness
Typically, the higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light.
- A headlamp with a high lumens count will consume energy at a higher rate than one with a lower lumens number.
- Most headlamps offer several brightness levels like low, mid and high (max). Others may offer an emergency strobe or red-light mode for nighttime vision.
Consider the power source
- Lithium battery–powered headlamps are a good choice for cold-weather use, since lithium batteries outperform alkaline batteries in cold conditions.
- Rechargeable batteries can be used repeatedly but tend to lose power when sitting idle.
Understand headlamp beam type and distance
- Flood (or wide): This spreads the beam wider and is for general, close tasks like cooking dinner or reading.
- Spot (or focused or narrow). A tight beam for longer-distance viewing, such as navigating a trail at night.
- Flood and spot: Adjustable headlamps are the most versatile.
