Solid Fuel Camping Stoves
Solid fuel camping stoves are handy to have in emergencies at home or as a backup stove when camping. The overall benefit of having one is that you are not limited by liquid and gas fuel availability. All you need to do is light a few bits of twigs and bark - basically it is a self contained camp fire on a much smaller scale. The environmentally friendly credentials speak for themselves, but they are not a gimmick and are used worldwide by a wide variety of people. Obviously there will be problems using these stoves at high altitudes and in the depths of a snowy winter when locating fuel may be a problem, but for general extended outdoor trips these solid fuel camping stoves are hard to beat. The size and weight of these stoves is larger than the multi-fuel camping stoves or the gas camping stoves, but this is only a problem if you are travelling. For a static site these are just brilliant.
