Hot Tent Stoves & Camping Cookware
A wood-burning tent stove turns a canvas tent into a warm base camp in freezing weather and doubles as a cooktop. Pair it with a nesting camping cookware set and you have a full kitchen that packs down small.
Is a tent stove safe?
Only in a tent with a stove jack (a fireproof flue port), with a spark arrestor on the pipe, good ventilation and a carbon monoxide detector inside. Never use one in a standard nylon tent.
What size tent stove do I need?
A small firebox heats a 2-4 person tent. Larger bell tents and wall tents need a bigger firebox and a longer flue for draft.
What should a camping cookware set include?
At least one pot, a pan, a lid that doubles as a strainer, and a folding handle, all nesting inside each other.
Buying guide
Building a camping kit that works
Start with the three things that make or break a night outside: shelter, light and hot food. A tent or a tarp with a hammock keeps you dry, a rechargeable headlamp frees both hands, and a compact stove turns a cold camp into a good one.
Weight matters when you carry it, durability matters when you drive to camp. Match your gear to the trip: lightweight for backpacking, sturdier and roomier for car camping.
Two light sources
Carry a headlamp and a backup. Lumens matter less than runtime at the setting you actually use.
Keep canisters warm
Gas stoves lose pressure in the cold. Keep the canister in your sleeping bag overnight.
Bug net for hammocks
A hammock with a built-in mosquito net makes summer camping far more comfortable.
Common questions
What camping gear do I need for a first trip?
A shelter, a sleeping bag and pad, a headlamp, a stove with fuel, water and a basic knife or multi-tool.
Is a hammock better than a tent?
Hammocks are lighter and comfortable in wooded areas. Tents work anywhere, including open ground and above the treeline.
What is a good pocket knife for camping?
A locking blade of 3 to 3.5 inches in a stainless or carbon steel is enough for food prep, cord and kindling.
