Camp stoves

December 1, 2011

Been talking with a number of people about various Camping stoves. I have a couple of the latest and greatest, but have not been pleased at all. Various problems from irregular flame, to just plain not hot enough.

Although I do the majority of my Camp cooking over an open campfire, it is still good to always have a stove on hand when Back Packing or Canoe camping. After the recent discussions with friends on my disgust with most of the newer Camp stoves, I dug and dug threw my old gear and pulled out my first Camp stove. Which at this point is 43 years old.

Cleaned it up a bit and fired it up. Now I know why I used it for so long and why it is still the best and the lightest stove out there. The Hank Roberts Mini-Stove.

Check out the Link here, to a great Blog article on this stove. Shows everything about the stove and how well it functions. Nothing fancy, just plain hot, consistent flame. It’s my new stove again.
