TWO-BURNER PROPANE STOVE, REGULATOR & WINDSCREEN
[ ] Dual Burner Stove
[ ] 1lb Propane Bottles
[ ] Piezo Igniter
[ ] Cast Iron

Dual Burner Stove: the owner's spec. Two burners let you cook a main and a side at once.
1lb Propane Bottles: the owner's spec. Small bottles pack easily. Burn time depends on the stove and flame setting, so check your maker's numbers.
Piezo Igniter: a built-in spark that lights the burner. It can fail in damp or dirty conditions, so carry a backup lighter.
Cast Iron: heavy, holds heat and works well on a stable burner. Check that your stove is rated for the weight.

Check the gas path. Before each trip, look over the hose, regulator and bottle connection. Follow your stove maker's instructions for checking for leaks. If you smell gas, shut the valve and move away from open flame.
Place it, then light it. Flat ground, clear space, open air, wind blocked with a windscreen the maker approves. Keep kids, pets and loose clothing back from the burners.
Know the fire rules. Stove and fire restrictions change with the season and the land. Check current local fire rules before you light anything, and carry water or a fire extinguisher as the campground advises.

Fire and stove restrictions differ by park, forest and state, and can change in dry weather. Check current local rules with the campground host, nps.gov, fs.usda.gov, blm.gov or your state forestry agency. For setup, leak checks, burn time and bottle storage, follow your stove and fuel maker's instructions. Carbon monoxide risk is real in enclosed spaces. See cdc.gov for guidance.

A hot meal makes camp feel like home. Plan it, keep the flame safe and leave the site clean. Built by explorers, for the camp kitchen.
