How to Cook With a Propane Camp Stove
Propane camp stoves give the camper a reliable method for cooking. The camp stove is fueled by a small propane canister that attaches to the stove and releases propane fumes. These fumes are ignited under the grates of the camp stove and the flame cooks whatever is on the stove. Propane camp stoves offer a much cleaner cooking surface when camping. Some propane camp stoves come equipped with windscreens on both sides of the stove to protect the flame from the wind.
