Canister Stoves
Canister stoves utilize fuel that is stored in sealed canisters including propane, isobutane or a mix of the two. They are the most sought-after model of backpacking stoves and provide a high fuel efficiency and ease of operation. These stoves are ideal for summertime trips and trips where you want to pack lightweight or for those who prefer a simpler system. However, they aren’t as effective in the harsh winter conditions and are not the ideal choice for expeditions at high altitudes.

Many stoves in the canister can be troublesome in cold temperatures. As temperatures drop as does the pressure in the canister, which can result in inadequate performance, or even failure. The MiniMo’s pressure regulator helps to prevent this problem and delivers consistent heating even under freezing temperatures.
Liquid fuel stoves can be refillable and require a separate fuel bottle. They are able to be used for a wider selection of applications. Some can take unleaded gas (the MSR WhisperLite International, for example) and others use white-gas, isobutane/propane mixtures, kerosene, or even white-gas. These types of designs are ideal for backpackers who live in remote areas where it may be difficult to find fuel canisters that have been prefilled.
Some backpackers prefer wood-burning equipment, which are efficient in terms of fuel consumption, but they add a large amount of weight and bulk.

They are also easier to refill than canister stoves as you simply open the lid and add more. The majority of stoves that run on liquid fuel operate on white gas which is a highly refined version of gasoline that has very little or no impurities. They also burn hot and clean even in below freezing temperatures. Certain stoves that use liquid fuel are able to run on cleaner, less expensive fuels such as kerosene and diesel.
These stoves are heavier than canisters and have many moving parts as well as parts which need to be cleaned, primed, or replaced in time. They are typically more difficult to operate in windy conditions since the pumping action can cause the flame to flicker and smoke. A lot of them require a priming process that involves heating the fuel in a cup under the burner. This will convert the liquid fuel into gas.
Liquid fuel stoves are able to function in cold temperatures, unlike canister-based stoves.

Gas Stoves
Gas stoves are an essential part of American cooking. Gas stoves are ubiquitous in the US. They are popular because they heat quickly, use energy that is usually less expensive than electricity, and don’t require special installation.
However, more and more scientists are raising concerns about the emissions they emit. Gas stoves release formaldehyde and carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide at levels higher than EPA guidelines. These gases are linked to a myriad of health problems, including lung infections, learning disabilities and a higher risk for childhood asthma. Even when they are not operating gas stoves release methane. This is a greenhouse and is more powerful than CO2, however it is not longer in the air.
The commotion has ignited debate over whether or not gas stoves should be banned, and lawmakers have weighed in on the issue. A group of Republican senators have introduced two bills to prevent the CPSC from baning them, while House Republicans have passed legislation to protect consumers’ right to choose the cooking appliances they want.

But others are still hesitant to give up their kitchen appliance of choice. Here’s what you need be aware of the dangers associated with these stoves.
A stove’s emissions depend on the type of food that is being cooked and the temperature setting, however they still produce an impressive amount of nitrogen oxide operating. According to a study scheduled for 2020 by Rocky Mountain Institute, Physicians for Social Responsibility and Mothers Out Front, boiling water or baking a cake in a gas oven may produce NO2 concentrations that exceed the standards for outdoor air quality. However, roasting chickens or using high flame settings can cause these numbers to rise.

In recent years, wood-burning stoves become more popular because they use a fuel that is readily available and sustainable. They can be restricted in their ability to regulate flame and heat and may be subject to local fire bans. They must also be maintained with care to avoid creosote buildup and flammability issues. Be sure to follow the height and clearance requirements. Also, ensure that you have a safe means to get rid of smoke and ash.
