There are only so many protein bars you can eat before a hot meal is in order. To keep your spirits up and your energy levels high, there’s nothing better when you’re out camping, on the trail or up a mountain than a can of baked beans. For that, you’ll need a camping stove, but what should you look for? If you’re a novice camper or hiker, you might find that stove technology has moved on a little bit since you last went camping with your parents all those years ago.

More environmentally friendly fuel sources can be used in portable camping stoves, including wood and other forest materials. There’s also size to take into account, how big you need your stove to be, how many people you’re planning on feeding, and so on. Other features we’ve covered in our camping stoves reviews include materials and sturdiness, as well whether a particular stove is windproof — terrible times will be had if your fire keeps blowing out.

The best camping stoves reviewed
Be safe when using a camping stove. Never use one inside the tent, or near the entrance. Those porches on your tent are great, but keep the stove itself away from any loose material. Follow the instructions on your camping stove carefully, and never leave gas canisters behind when you leave — always take them with you.
