2009-07-06T11:20:00.000-07:00

If you have a 2 burner or 3 burner camp stove which burns Coleman fuel you may want to buy a Propane Stove Regulated Converter
for you stove so you will be able to use propane with your camp stove. You can then attach a small propane bottle to your propane regulated converter or a hose that attaches to a larger propane bottle either directly or a propane tee or a propane post.

The propane tee will give you two outlets for propane so you can use your camping stove and a grill at the same time.

A propane post (or propane tree) will give you three outlets for propane. Usually two on the side and one on the top. Again, you can attach both your camp stove and propane grill along with a propane lantern on the top outlet.

2009-06-23T13:09:00.000-07:00

When you are out on your next camping trip, a propane camp stove is a great way to do your cooking. It provides even cooking and the source of heat can be regulated easily. It is very much like cooking at home on your kitchen stove. A propane camp stove is also a permitted form of cooking when campfires and charcoal grills are prohibited due to extreme forest fire danger. But it is important that you bring the following accessories with you to use with your camping stove.

1) Extra Propane - Whether you just use the small 1 pound propane bottles that easily attach to your camp stove or if you connect your stove to a large propane bottle, always make sure you have some extra propane. It is always a good idea to carry 4 to 5 extra small propane bottles in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

2) Matches and/or Lighters - As with carrying extra propane, it is also a good idea to carry extra matches and a couple lighters to light your stove.

3) Extra Hose and Distribution Tree - It is a great idea to have an extra hose if you are using a large propane bottle with your camp stove. In the event your original hose gets damaged, you will have a spare. A distribution tree that attaches to your large propane bottle is also very helpful. It has extra outlets to attach other propane using items to such as a propane grill and lantern.

So, as you can see, a propane camp stove is a great cooking device on your camping trips as long as you remember to be prepared with extra propane, extra matches and lighters, and a spare hose along with a distribution tree.

Camp Stoves make camping fun and easy.

- Car Camping - If you will be hauling all your camping gear in a car, you will need to determine if you have room for a two or three burner stove or just a single burner. A lot of the propane only stoves are very streamlined and pack very nicely.

- Truck Camping - If you are traveling in a truck with your camping gear you will have more room than someone camping in a car. However this doesn't necessarily mean you should bring the largest stove you can find. Think about your needs and what all you will be using the stove for.
