Quick Drying Camping and Hiking

Stoves are categorized by fuel type

• Canister: Screws onto canisters of isobutane or propane; easy to use and low maintenance but the fuel canisters aren't refillable

• Liquid fuel: Connects to refillable fuel bottles and burns fuels like white gas, kerosene and unleaded gas; works well in cold weather and at high elevation but requires priming

• Wood: Burns sticks and twigs and other wood; fire bans may limit use

Key features

• Integrated canister systems: Burner pairs with a fuel canister and integrated cooking pot
• Auto ignition: Push-button spark igniter (often on canister stoves) makes lighting easy
• Ultralight: Lightweight designs reduce pack weight
