got pic rel for $5 at a garage sale but it’s bulky. any recommendations?
>>2786055Bulky doesn't matter for car camping and any stove that isn't made for backpacking is much too bulky for backpacking.
>>2786055trade it for a smaller stove
Make yourself a cat stove. Not very intuitive to build and use, but is cheap as fuck. I have cooked hundreds of canned beans and meatballs with the one I made like 7 years ago and still working.
just get a Trangia, come on man, its not hard
>>2786055If you are doing things like cooking fish or making pancakes, you’ll want a propane or liquid fuel stove. The simplest one that’s good is probably the Coleman 533, but Trangia makes a nice one that packs a little better and the MSR Dragonfly is great too.If you are just boiling water for a freeze dried dinner, the tiny little isobutane stoves are certainly good enough.
>>2786055That was an excellent purchase. As already stated, that stove is best suited for car or canoe camping AND when cooking full meals for 2 or more people. The first recommendation I would make is to buy a propane adapter for it ($20) to give you another fuel option. Secondly, since weight isn’t a critical factor with canoe or car camping, consider also buying a Coleman Oven to go with it. I’ve used this combo to make biscuits, peach cobbler and pizza inna woods.
>>2786055If it’s the dual fuel kind like you posted, and not the typical propane only, keep it.
>>2786055>any recommendations?These are great for car camping or for blackouts.
>>2786055>any recommendations?Those things are great but you need the propane conversion kit.
>>2786059It does matter, you don't want something stupid huge that takes up a bunch of room.

i got a used msr universal stove (liquid and gas fuels) at a consignment storedo i need to clean it before i test it?idk how these things even work but i camp in very cold temperatures so i figure liquid is the way to go
No moving pats, fuel can be bought anywhere on the planet, dirt cheap. Can literally run on household cleaning supplies
You can even get the bigger, old army model, if your insecure in that way you know
>>2786055Very kino. Started camping with one of these as a kid, eventually the valve that controls the fuel flow broke and it started flaming out of control. It flared up and we had to rush it out of the dining tent and leave it in the pissing rain for 30 minutes before it finally went out. Now I just use a propane one, a natural fire, or an MSR Whisperlite International. All of those big folder stoves are bulky, they have to be to contain two burners. I have a Coleman Gladiator that works really well but you can't simmer anything, cooking eggs is like a 10 second process.
>>2786055the stove in my cabin is a twin burner coleman propane grill. these things are sick as fuck and allow you to cook almost anything a professional chef could make. you aren't a pro chef but when people are hungry after being innawoods they won't know the difference>five dollarsgood on you bro
>>2786055>$5?You stole it, nice buy! Build date will either be on the bottom of the stove or on the hanger tabs on the tank. Looks like a 1960s Coleman and condition superb.
>>2786055>>2786473>>2788290This is now a Coleman camp stove threadpicrel $7.00 at Goodwill. USA made and bomb proof. Needs a good wipedown though
>>2788832>> now a Coleman camp stove threadSome of my thrift store finds…
Do camp stoves get hot enough for stir frying?
>>2788857my MSR pocket rocket gen1 did, not sure about never models, would suck half a canister of gas though
