Stability
When backpackers cook over an open flame in the backcountry, a solid stove is vital. A well-designed stove will feature broad and low stove legs that function as a stable base for pans and pots. Many stoves have a flame spread control, which lets the user adjust the height of the fire. This increases security and stability.

BTUs (British Thermal Units) are a reliable measure of how powerful the stove is, but other aspects like the control of flames and fuel efficiency are equally important. The higher the BTUs, the more power the stove has to heat the water faster and cook food with only one canister of fuel.
Some backpackers go even lighter by not using the canister and opting instead for an alternative-fuel system, Www.349338.Xyz like the Solo Stove Lite.
