How to Choose a Camping Stove

• Tent camping? Stick to gas — and never cook inside the tent.

• Caravan / motorhome with hookup? Induction or electric griddle is safer and cleaner.

• Awning? Induction is best (no naked flame in a fabric structure).

• Backpacking? Small single burner with screw-on canister.

• Family / big meals? Double burner gas or twin induction.
