Traveling with a propane stove

When you are out in the countryside, trekking, hiking or just day tripping it is always important to be able to cook up a hot snack or drink, and the most economic and portable way to do so is with a propane stove. Even if you do not plan on being away overnight, a propane stove should still form part of your supplies, as you never know if you might find yourself stranded and in need of a life-saving hot drink.

While at first sight a propane stove can seem bulky – after all you need to carry the stove itself, usually a fairly flimsy affair, and then at least two propane canisters to provide the fuel. If you purchase a big brand such as Coleman, you will benefit from the superior manufacturing and design features; in fact, Coleman’s stoves have won awards for their stunning portability and versatility.

Also be aware that while many airline carriers will not refuse to carry the propane stove itself, they will not generally allow the passage of pressurized canisters of flammable fuel, it is always best to try and purchase the fuel when you arrive at your destination. Of course, buying a well-known brand will again help in this.

In order to increase the safety features of their stoves, many manufacturers now insist that you use their branded fuel with the propane stove you have bought, and in some cases it is not possible to connect a third party canister to the stove. Rather than a marketing ploy, in many cases this will help to prevent leakage, which can be dangerous and wasteful.
