Petrol stove

Petrol stoves are efficient year-round and allow you to easily regulate the heat. Before you start cooking, it’s a good idea to preheat the burner. You do this by letting a small amount of fuel into the burner and then lighting it. Over time, a petrol stove can become sooty, so you need to clean it occasionally to maintain optimal performance. Make sure to place the stove on a rock or similar surface, not among moss or lichen, which are highly flammable.

Petrol stoves work best and are safest in winter, as the fuel performs well in low temperatures. There are also multi-fuel stoves that can run on gas, petrol, and kerosene – all you need to do is change a valve.

Please note that petrol stoves and alcohol (methylated spirits) stoves must not be used during fire bans.
