Gas stove - comfort on vacation

For about twenty years now, as in the outfitting of tourists, fishermen, and just lovers of relaxing in the open air, a gas stove has appeared. It surely replaced the bulky and fire-dangerous Primus. Over the years, lovers of travel have been able to appreciate all its advantages.

Far from always in the trekking of tourists expects an abundance of firewood for the fire. In this case, a gas stove will help you out. Someone may object: in Russia, firewood can always be found. Let me disagree with you. Yes, Russia is rich in forests, but you can travel across the steppe where it is very difficult to find firewood. In addition, in a dry time to build a fire in the steppe is dangerous. A fire can occur which will lead to unpredictable consequences. And if you go to the mountains, then in search of sushnyak you can go all day. This determines the indisputable advantage - a gas stove significantly saves your time for cooking. Agree that in marching conditions this is not so little.

If you decide to take a gas stove, an experienced consultant will help you buy it. The model you choose should not only be suitable for you in terms of parameters, but also popular among tourists. If you are heading to a remote and remote place from civilization, then it is unlikely that you will be able to find there gas cylinders for some rare plate model. Some manufacturers are worried about their customers and the required fuel supply. For example, the Korean company KOVEA sells gas cylinders to its plates in 120 countries. In all major cities of our country you will find fuel for these models.

If you go camping with a large team, then you will need a special gas stove - a marching stove, small in size, but powerful. Of course, it will need larger cylinders, but you will be able to cope with cooking much faster.

A gas stove can be of several types. Let's find out what their differences are.

1. Gas stove with collet cylinder (KGF-220). The gas cylinder is placed inside the tile, so you can not accidentally hook it on the hose. One cylinder is enough for two days, if you cook food no more than three times a day.
2. Gas stove with a threaded bottle is always more powerful and ideal for cooking in a stationary environment (at the cottage, in the camp). The most popular professional double-burner cooker premium KOVEA KB-0812. Its body is made of high-quality aviation aluminum. This explains its light weight. The plate has no melting parts, it operates from two threaded cylinders, which are installed in an inverted state. The high power of the plate remains, even when the amount of fuel is significantly reduced, or the ambient temperature drops.

Now you have an idea of which gas cooker to buy, and you can discuss the details in a specialized store with a sales consultant.
