Now starting your stove of course is going to depend on the stove and what type of stove it is. Cartridge stoves are very easy to use. Of course you can use a match, you can use a lighter, some people are into fire starters things like this where you basically do that over top and it will kick on. But there is also some stoves that have a little piece of electric start, a little static electric sparker and what you do is you turn it on, of course you have to be careful. There we go and once it is on then you start doing your cooking. You lose a little fuel that way because you have to turn the fuel on before you start flicking. You notice that it has to click a couple of times and it is not always a one start deal. Of course always be careful when you are handling a stove. If you have any questions give your local outfitter a holler.
