With so many cooking options available to outdoor enthusiasts, it can be overwhelming to choose which type of outdoor cooking appliance to use. Of course, there are plenty of ways to whittle down the choices. You’d probably start with your needs first. Are you cooking for yourself or for a group? That would dictate the size of your stove or oven. Next would be your activity. If you’re scaling the face of El Capitan in Yosemite, you’ll want to choose a pocket-sized backpacking stove. If you’re car camping with the kids, you’ll undoubtedly pack something much larger.
