Alright?

Budget?
those green coleman stoves are pretty hard to beat if you are car camping. several other brands make two burner propane stoves and they all work about the same but coleman is the classic. if you are car camping there are also adapters for normal 20lb propane tanks so you aren't limited to those stupid little bottles they sell with the stoves.
/thread
though I feel the large propane tanks are way to much of a hassle especially if you're cooking for one.
I'm not dragging around a 20lb propane canister to boil some water or at most fry a steak on my Coleman stove. The green canister is sufficient, cheap, and easy to find. The propane tank is for grills and fire pits.
this, of if space is at a premium one of the direct burner screw ins for a 1lb can. great for quick hot water for soups or coffee.
if you're hiking get a small canister adapter like the MSR pocket rocket or a pop can stove.
>truck camping out west
Camp Chef Everest is great for that. But for one person simple meals on a budget, just go to the closest Asian grocery and get a cassette stove for less than $10.
Me I have a Jetfoil Genesis that came with cookware and shit. It is great but expensive, and for car camping is overkill.
Been using a everest past couple summers. Have the adapter to hook up large tanks. Really like it and enjoy cooking on it.
My recommendation. Mine is about 20 yrs old.
GOAT
let me guess, you really need more?
eww
Put that thing away bro
sorry, sorry
Got one of these to put in my cheapass Stanley cookset, it's fricking great
whats with the north american obsession with barbequeing while out in the forest. our celtic-germanic ancestors carried dry sausage, seeds and berries to sustain themselves for arduous journies and didnt need to whip out a coleman stove every night to cook up a t-bone steak. its pathetic how weak the average north american outdoorsman is these days
its just a thread of eating while outisde, no need to get all pissy you homosexual
>our celtic-germanic ancestors
listen bumblefrick we don't all descend from people who lived in huts, didn't bathe, and ate nothing but dried uncooked foods. some of us WUZ KANGZ n shit, ok? We might even take toilet paper with us
Bro I honestly lived off knacker, dried berries and nuts and the occasional fatty cheese for two weeks while bike packing through germany.
Wasn't even that bad but at some point you crave something cooked.
>lived off knacker, dried berries and nuts and the occasional fatty cheese for two weeks
that sounds delicious. im going to buy some extra old cheese tomorrow on my way out
>europoor
>ehhhhhyhhh mate woy not juss a bit o sausage
Some of us like to enjoy our time out. Doesn’t always have to be a larp
im sorry I would prefer to make a real meal while PrepHole instead of eating peasant food
Primus makes probably the best. Coleman is good, but not as good as Primus.
I like my iwatani. 15,000 BTUs it kicks ass, and i have their blowtorch which uses the same canisters which is good for when you really need a fire
A simple oil "stove", made of a single aluminium soda can. Just put the oil inside the bottom part of the can and flip the top part of the can upside down after cutting it. Then, put a fuse (piece of cordage made of cotton or some veg fiber). You can have multiple holes on the top part of the can and multiple fuses. You can add cubes of solid animal fat oil that will melt with the heat of the flames and slowly leak into the bottom part, refilling the stove. It's basically an oil lamp, but can be used for cooking food. You can heat up a ceramic pot on top of it to use it as a heater.
You can use other types of materials to hold the oil, like wood instead of aluminium. This type of dyi stove can be used with alcohol too. Looks somewhat like pic related, but made with recycled aluminium cans which can be found in the trash everywhere. Oil is cheap. Soya oil, corn oil, canola oil, animal fat and many others are good choices. Oil burns for days and the cotton fuse lasts for a long time. Can use pieces of cotton shirt or shoelaces, or simply a cordage made of dry grass. High capilarity materials. Finer oils are better, such as olive oil (romans used it). The best is whale oil, which was used by nords, vikings and siberian natives for ages, when it was hard to get wood. Seal fat was also used. Always have oil, as it is good fuel for lamps, stoves and torches. When in the wilderness, don't be without oil, so it says in the bible. No oil means death, basically. Always save the fat of meats.
tell me why the stickers on the stove in the image are backwards
at first I thought the image was reversed the "Coleman" logo is not backwards so what the frick OP?
NTA but the image is reversed; the Coleman logo is a stamp in the metal so you can see obnoxious branding when the lid is closed.
Anything like pic related will do the job just fine. I picked up something like that at Canadian Tier no I don't know the brand or model number and I don't care.
A wood fire with wood you harvested and seasoned yourself, that you started with a bow drill. All 100% natural, anything else is try-hard and homosexual.
so you're carrying bundles of wood out with you? Or are you considering your back yard out? wew
Can’t you just chop little trees in America and gather fallen branches and twigs? All the bragging about an ultimate PrepHole country, but still a gay ass nature of its inhabitants finds a way to reveal itself.
>Can’t you just chop little trees in America and gather fallen branches and twigs?
Depends very much on where you are.
>what is "seasoned"
Some excess shit for coddled western gays to obsess about
what you said doesn't even make any sense
>Can’t you just chop little trees in America and gather fallen branches and twigs?
You can gather fallen dead wood but you can't chop down trees.
You can absolutely chop dead standing trees; it's live shit you aren't supposed to cut. I wouldn't trust most americans to know whether a tree is living or not though, so it's best if they stick to gathering shit off the ground.
>A wood fire with wood you harvested and seasoned yourself
i hate homosexuals like you, man, a Coleman stove is nice, not all people want to chop branches and do that shit, not all people want or have the fricking time for le bushcraft shit.
started using this over the two burner ones, happier with less space and I don't use too much fuel anyways.
Those Chinese butane stoves regularly blow up and burn their users faces off.
>Coleman
>Chinese
what the frick you oil stealer, what the frick
>Regularly
13 incidents in 8 years that can be easily attributed to user error.

Ngl, if you bought one of these Blackstone flat-top backyard grills, and took it off of the stand, that'd be a hell of a truck stove. Cook the whole ass meal right there on it, no pots or pans
MSR whisperlite
Whisperlite International.
It's not even a debate. There is simply no better option for efficiency, ease of use, portability, durability, and maintainability. And you don't have to be a canistercuck.
That is a great stove but it is designed for mountaineering not for trekking or car camping.
OP the second best option is to buy a Coleman twin burner stove. It is purpose built for car camping and is an enduring design, like the Whisperlite, for a good reason. However unlike in mountaineering or trekking where new weight-saving designs and materials make the activity safer and more comfortable even when the individual equipment is less reliable, there is no real trade off in car camping and you should prefer time tested designs like the coleman. The best option is to get a used one at a thrift store for $17 and clean it. The additional money can be spent on a better cooler (where there have been improvements over the past 40 years)
Based. You can also buy adapters to use it with propane and the cheap butane bottles.
