Portable Gas Stove Selection
There used to be a time if you wanted to cook food in the wilderness you had to do it over an open flame. But these days, thanks to the portable gas stove and backpacking stoves, cooking in the wilderness has become a lot easier and simpler. Backpacking stoves are lightweight and reliable and can be easily transported in a rucksack, literally anywhere. This is the main reason that they have replaced the traditional open fire way of cooking. And that is not all. Using a portable gas stove as opposed to an open fire, also helps with the environmental “leave no trace” ethics. With the portable gas stove there is no scorched earth or fire rings left behind after a cooking session. It is also worth remembering that in many parts of the world, fires are prohibited due to the danger of forest fires, and where they are allowed there could be a shortage or no firewood available. So in many cases the portable gas stove or backpacking stove have become the only option if you wish to cook food.

Canister stoves are the simplest forms of the portable gas stove and the easiest to operate. Basically all you do is attach the stove to the fuel canister and light it with a match or an igniter button if the stove is equipped with one.

The gas canister will be self sealing to prevent any fuel leakage. As good and convenient as these stoves are they do have a serious drawback. In cold and extreme weather the gas canister will depressurize which results in a weak, and in certain cases, no flame at all. To deal with this a tip worth bearing in mind is to keep the gas canister as warm as possible. You can do this by storing it in your sleeping bag.
