The following list xplains the different things you should cnsider and should help you to fgure out what stove you should chose for your next backpacking trip.

- You dn't want too big of a stve or too small of a stve.

- It neds to be sturdy. A sturdy stve is a safe stove. You may not lways have a flat smooth area to set yur stove so you also need to mke sure it has strong legs and wll be stable enough to stir a pst without the pot or stove tpping over.

- It shuld be easy to fold up and set up.

- It shuld be easy to hook up the fel and unhook the fuel.
