Searching For Portable Gas Stoves

You might be planning a camping vacation of several days or even weeks. Maybe you live in area prone to extended power outages because of hurricanes. Or you could be thinking of an economical way to put together an outdoor kitchen in your backyard. These are all reasons to consider the range of options in portable gas stoves.

A portable gas stove provides a convenient and easy way to cook hot meals while on an extended camping trip. The ability to saute onions and peppers, boil water, fry bacon, sausage or eggs, and simmer soups and gravies helps you to plan a menu of camp meals that don’t become monotonous or less than enjoyable. Getting through a prolonged power outage with the ability to prepare hot, satisfying meals can ease stress and take the edge off of a difficult time.

So, if you have decided, for whatever reason, that a portable gas stove is worth purchasing, the next step is to find the one that is right for you. Because there are many options available, a good strategy to finding the right one to buy is by searching online at a place like Amazon that carries multiple types from multiple manufacturers. Below are a few hints to get you started looking for one.

First, pay attention to the stated dimensions of the stove you are looking at online and what you require. For example, do you need your portable stove to be able to fit easily within an average size car trunk? Also, think about the weight of the unit you are considering. Is it easy enough to be carried by an adult of normal strength?

Also keep in mind what you are using the stove to cook. Do you need to find one that is a general purpose stove top? Or do you plan on doing special cooking techniques that might require something different like a portable charcoal grill made special for the task?

If you are looking for a general purpose stove, try to find a stove with two burners. This way, you can prepare an entree and a side dish at the same time to deliver a hot meal to the camp table all at once. Also, consider the BTU rating of each burner. A burner with a rating of 10,000 BTUs is common for portable stoves.

In summary, think about how you will use and transport your stove, taking advantage of online shopping sites to efficiently pick out the one that meets your needs.
