Hob support: Choose a camping stove with wide legs and broad hob supports for stability and to prevent large and heavy pots from tipping over.

Ignition system: If you plan to buy a gas camping stove, choose one with a push-button or switch ignition system because it is safer and more convenient to use.

Adjustable flame setting: Choose a camping stove with an adjustable flame setting so you can control the rate of fuel consumption and amount of heat when cooking.
