Even though the rice directions said to boil the water and then add the rice, I put them both in together. It is a tad less expensive than the EcoZoom Versa. Stovetec Big Foot Deluxe Stovetec Big Foot Deluxe Multi Fuel Cookstove Remember to properly let the stove dry up before you store it away. Cast iron is capable of withstanding high temperatures, but it is still prone to rusting if you let moisture sit on it for too long. Tip 6An optional stainless steel water-heaterwith tap fits neatly around the chimney. The chimney sections fold down and store inside the stove itself. The Winnerwell Nomad Large is a great choice for heating or cooking in medium-size spaces such as a canvas wall tent, a shed, teepee, or even tiny homes. The tent is pretty durable, a credit to the 304 stainless-steel material it is constructed with. Another feature that common both in the EcoZoom Versa and the Stovetec Deluxe is that both their doors (the door leading to the combustion chamber and the damper door) carry reinforced metal casings.

I don’t think I would have been able to tell a difference, had I cooked this mac’n’beef meal at home over my own kitchen stove. That’s how well the EcoZoom cooked. I was impressed by it — if a little vexed by its pace. We placed 2 ½ cups of water in both pots and surrounded them both with EcoZoom’s metal sleeve. This sleeve focuses the heat and increases the efficiency of your cooking. All in, from getting the fire started to getting the water boiling, it took me about 22 minutes. You could probably shave that down with practice. But this stove works at its own pace. Yes, you can control the heat by adding more or less wood. But you aren’t going to be breaking any boiling-time records, no matter how much wood you put in there. However, if you are looking for something extremely light and portable, you will be happy with the Kelly Kettle. There’s space on the top for two pots, and a lift-off plate allows you to cook over an open flame. Air-flow is controlled by an adjustable front door opening and smoke is carried away up a long chimney.Here’s what else is unique about using the All American Sun Oven. Foods won’t burn or overcook in sun oven Price- These are a little hefty in the price tag, but they have quite a few options to choose from and are still cheaper than I have seen some competitors products. The Camp Chef Alpine Cylinder stove is a great universal option that will serve you diligently in pretty much any situation. It comes with the capacity to serve larger shelters comfortably, thanks to various essential features. Danchel Outdoor Portable Tent Wood Burning Stove If you have a flexible budget, this portable camping stove will be more than capable of covering your heating and cooking needs throughout your adventure. It features a stainless-steel make, which keeps it both rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. Aside from its extremely solid build, the Danchel wood burning stove offers other essential features that will impress many campers. The firebox is pretty large, with a tight door at the front. A glass window is incorporated to let you keep an eye on the burning fuel inside. The glass is also heat-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about it shattering over time. A pot skirt is basically a metal ring that you secure around a pot’s bottom before putting it on the stove.

It was also nice to put it in the sun oven and then take it out when we were ready to eat without having to reheat it for dinner. Cooking hot dogs in the sun oven There’s only room for one pan at a time, but it can be a big pan! And there’s a pot skirt supplied to make sure the heat stays around the base and sides of your pot rather than escaping into the air. If you are wearing gloves while lighting the stove, be extra careful since your hands will not have the same agility of movement due to the gloves. That is my biggest gripe with this camp stove (and wood/charcoal stoves generally). I’m spoiled. I grew up in the era of FluxRing super camp stoves that boil water in under 100 seconds. Waiting for water to boil over a wood fire —even one as concentrated as the EcoZoom’s — requires a level of patience I’m not used to.The neatest, lightest and smallest of the stoveswe tested. It’s easy to light, but susceptible to wind. The pot stand is fairly stable providing you position your pan carefully and don’t use anything too big. A simple, satisfying stove to use for one- or two-person wild camping.
