Collection: Activities - Bushcraft - Stoves

Plan Your Cooking System Based on Your Meals

Bushcraft stoves are selected based on fuel, cookware, and the planned duration of your stay. For simply heating water, different comfort considerations may take priority than for longer cooking sessions. First, think about what you want to prepare and what resources are available. Then you can meaningfully compare the design, pack size, and specific suitability of the cooking system.

Matching Outdoor Stoves with Fuel and Pots

Gas, liquid fuel, and other types each have their own requirements. The user manual specifies which fuels and containers are permitted. A wood-burning stove isn’t automatically permitted everywhere, even if you aren’t planning a traditional campfire. Check for current local restrictions. Also, compare the intended pot supports with your cookware. Outdoor stoves must only be used outdoors in suitable locations according to the manufacturer’s instructions—not inside enclosed tents or vehicles. Do not add any windscreen of your own choosing without following the instructions.

• Cooking Needs: What meals are you planning, and for how many people?
• Compatibility: Are the fuel, container, and cookware explicitly compatible?
• Setup: Does the design fit the intended pot and the permitted cooking area?
• Handling: Do you know the guidelines for operation and storage?

Pack a complete system for your trip

Compare fuels for bushcraft stoves and fire starters. For trips in Switzerland, the location and permitted use will help determine your cooking plan. Explore bushcraft stoves and test their intended operation before you set out. A well-coordinated combination is more helpful than a small, standalone stove for which you’ll find yourself missing fuel or suitable cookware once you’re on the trail.
