Portable Gas Stove For Camping

When camping one of the most important pieces of equipment that you require is that of the portable gas stove. These very useful tools were first invented in the 19th century and now in the modern day there is a huge variety of models and designs to choose from, depending of course which activity and situation you require one for. Portable gas stoves used to be solely run using the fuel kerosene but because of safety reasons other fuels were developed. Butane and propane gases are most popularly used today but companies such as Coleman, the very successful American company that specializes in producing products for the camping sector, have even developed their own fuels for camping stoves. Coleman has it’s own fuel that is called White Gas or Camping Fuel. This fuel is ideal for campers in all weathers as it even burns in freezing conditions, is very clean and refined and actually burns hotter than other liquid fuels.
