Stoves & Fuel
Spending time outdoors is a lot of work. Don’t get us wrong, it’s very fun and fulfilling too. But when you’re moving around a lot, you’re going to need some food to fuel you.
Speaking of fuel, a camp stove is a wonderful way to do some camp cooking to satisfy your appetite while in the great outdoors. Altitude Sports sells a wide variety of high-quality camping stoves to keep your belly full and your tastebuds happy even when you’re deep in the wilderness.
Camping stoves are useful for backcountry camping too, though you may have to use them in designated food/picnic areas, so keep this in mind.
Most camping stoves run on a kind of liquefied gas like butane or propane. Butane and propane stoves are both cost-effective. They allow you to do most types of outdoor cooking and, depending on their size and power, are suitable even if you need to cook food for large groups.
If you’ll often be cooking for large groups, you’ll want to find a stove with a high heat output. This is generally anything over 20,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) per... burner. Discerning camp chefs will appreciate a camp stove with extra simmer control that reduces boil time and also allows them to switch to a low simmer if needed.
