How to pick the right portable stove for your outdoor adventure

#4  SOLID FUEL STOVES

Designed to burn hexamine fuel tablets, these stoves are little more than a compact metal potholder that also contains the fuel. They’re great for emergencies, but not well-suited as a primary cooking stove. That’s because they’re slow to work and must be protected from the wind. As well, there is no way to control the heat, and the smelly fuel tablets are expensive.
