I have a single burner Butane stove.
And after reviewing all my Camp Cooking needs I have found the only essential thing I really
"need" a stove for...according to the way I camp is morning Coffee.
I REALLY NEED that no muss-no fuss option in the morning.
I do carry a Coleman single burner propane stove..just in case.
But I primarily cook over a Charcoal/wood fire.
Even the evening pot of coffee is made over the fire.
Cooking is a Camping activity that I enjoy. The preparation, building the fire and getting the coals just right, the right pots & pans, new recipes, cooking & clean up tricks.
That sigh of relief when no one gets sick after eating your meals...Its a great feeling.
Happy Trails
