Today we are looking at remote canister stoves available in the UK. Stoves of this style, whilst being lightweight and portable, are also popular because they tend to offer more stability than a stove which is perched on top of the fuel – ideal for uneven ground or windy conditions.
Some of these stoves also pre-heat the gas using a coil. This means you’ll be able to use them in colder weather – particularly if you use gas canisters that contain propane rather than just butane. If your stove allows the use of liquid fuel then it will perform even better as the temperatures drop.
We are not reviewing the stoves here or attempting to give the pros and cons – this article aims to simply list the stoves available to save you hunting around the web. We’ll also provide a few of their key features to help you compare them and decide which one to buy.
