Buying advice

When choosing a camping stove, consider your primary use: backpacking vs car camping. For backpacking, lightweight and compact stoves like the MSR PocketRocket 2 or Jetboil Zip are ideal. For car camping, larger two-burner stoves like the Coleman Triton offer more cooking space. Fuel type matters: isobutane/propane canisters are common for backpacking, while propane is easier to find for car camping. Check wind resistance and simmer control if you plan to cook more than just boiling water.
