Types of stove

There are many different types of stove. The most popular is certainly the gas stove. Simple to use, it is powerful and allows you to cook quickly. It's the most popular cooking system for trekking and hiking. It's also suitable for all kinds of outdoor activities, from sailing to camping to mountaineering.
Wood-burning stoves use branches, apples or wood as fuel. It's both environmentally friendly and economical. No need to bother with gas cartridges. It's a cooking system that's very popular with bushcraft enthusiasts. It's also popular with those who go trekking on their own. Wood is abundant on hiking routes, so it's a fuel that's found everywhere.
Alcohol stoves are more suited to heating food than cooking. Most work with both solid and liquid alcohol. They are widely used by the military because they work in all weathers and all seasons. It's also very light and compact. MUL fans will appreciate this.
There are also multi-fuel stoves. These work either with liquid fuel (petrol, kerosene, etc.) or with gas cartridges. This type of stove has the advantages of both gas (it's powerful) and alcohol (it works in all weathers). It's perfect outdoor cooking equipment for expeditions!
Finally, there are solar cookers and self-heating systems. These are not as widely available, but they're still high-quality equipment. The solar cooker is very environmentally friendly, as it runs on solar energy. It's useful for picnics and outdoor outings in summer. As for the self-heating system, this means you can heat up your dish with just water. Through a simple chemical reaction, your meal will be hot. Simple and practical.
