Cook Like A World-Class Camper
Fire roasted, glazed, baked or breaded. However you like it, the best camping food starts with the right ingredients and the best camping cookware. And the stove is the most important part. So, whether you’re camping light…backpack camping or car camping with family or friends, here’s some sure-fire (pardon the pun) stoves to get you cooking!
The Micro Backpack Stove made by Coleman is a great investment to your outdoor cooking if you camp lightly. Coleman has been making camping stoves since 1942 and holds the best reputation for their camping products. The Micro backpack stove is small and lightweight but still powerful enough to cook any stovetop meal. The top regulator and bottom (propane canister) can be unscrewed and packed separately. Remember this is for one-pot cooking, but it gives off great heat to boil water or stew quickly!
If you’re cooking for a whole family, the Coleman EvenTemp 3 Burner Stove is the most popular in camping stoves. This new 3-burner design gets rid of the cold spots that occur when using a 2-burner stove and gives you even heat that’s great for pancakes, bacon, and omelets…you name it! It has two 11,500 BTU burners on the ends and a 5,000 BTU burner in the middle for all types of range cooking as well as side panels to block wind. The InstaStart push button ignition system takes all the hassle out of lighting your stove. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped a match onto the burner trying to get it going. 
I hope this helps with your camping cookware needs. Let me know your experiences with other camp stoves, what’s your favorite, etc. But above all enjoy the food! It always tastes better when you’re camping!!

I too like Coleman stoves for camping. They are generally reliable, sturdy and have been around for a long time. I am also fond of propane as it burns clean and hot. So much more reliable that trying to cook over an open wood fire.
I’ve used the backpack stove before while bicycle camping. It will only heat one dish at a time, but when you are cramped for storage space - as you always are on a bicycle - then it really is the best choice.

Instead of using those disposable little green propane bottles, you should use a refillable bottle. (Think GREEN)
I like the aluminum ones since they weigh a lot less than the standard 5 gallon BBQ tank. Check out the ones at http://www.propanemall.com/category.aspx?categoryID=40
or the small steel ones 2.5 gallons

When buying one of this camping stove it is very important to look into the expiration of the gas cylinder or canister. you don’t what your back to just explode while camping, right?
