LP Gas Stoves can either be mounted directly to the gas canister or remotely
via a pipe.
Canister Mount Gas Stoves
Canister mounted stoves are more compact and lightweight but are less stable,
especially with large heavy pots. They are ideal for lightweight trips or lunch
stops when you are not cooking large volumes of food.
To increase the
stability of your canister mounted stove you can use the Primus Stove Foot
Rest. This compact 3 legged foot rest increases the stability of your stove
when using large pots or cooking on uneven surfaces.
Remote Fuel Gas Stoves
By moving the gas canister from under the stove, remote fuel stoves are lower
and more stable, especially with heavier pots. Whilst less compact, this makes
the stove idea for base camp cooking for several people.
