How to choose outdoor camping stoves

The most important equipment for outdoor picnics is the stove, which is also the foundation of our picnics. A useful stove will bring great fun to your picnics. Many outdoor sports newcomers still choose a stove for picnics in the street barbecue stage, so let's talk about how to choose a stove first?
The selection of stove mainly considers four aspects: weight, height, temperature, and fuel combustion capacity. Weight is mainly for portability, while height and temperature are mainly for adapting to outdoor environments. Due to different altitudes and pressures, some stoves cannot be used, and temperature can affect our fuel selection. Below, we will introduce the most common types of stoves.
Gasoline stove
Gasoline stove is one of the most popular and commonly used stoves, using white gasoline as fuel. Its combustion capacity is higher than that of gas, and it can be preheated with its own fuel oil. When using it, it should be noted that high-grade gasoline and unleaded gasoline cannot be used, and foreign objects cannot block the nozzle. The vaporized stove will have a slight odor. At present, the most commonly used stove for outdoor enthusiasts is using stain removal oil as fuel oil
Its advantages are strong combustion power and no black smoke during combustion, while its disadvantages are extremely strong volatility, high risk factor, unsuitable for carrying around, and relatively expensive price.
kerosene heater
The principle of a kerosene furnace is the same as that of a gasoline furnace, with the main difference being the choice of fuel. The biggest advantage of kerosene stoves is that their volatility is lower than that of white gasoline, their risk of combustion and explosion is low, they are suitable for carrying around, and their prices are relatively moderate. The disadvantage is that preheating requires the use of white gasoline or alcohol, which cannot be preheated on its own. When the combustion is not sufficient, black smoke will be generated. Insufficient wind pressure can lead to yellow flames and a strong smell of oil smoke, and some carbon particles will appear, which cannot be used in tents. Taking into account various factors, kerosene is also the most suitable fuel for hiking.
