Outdoor stoves are used for preparing savoury dishes, when somebody is outdoors. You may either cook in your backyard or make meals when you are camping outside but for all such activities, you emphatically need an out-of-door stove. The term stove refers to a cooking appliance which is used for cooking purpose or heat generation.

For a camper or backpacker, it is important to carry an outdoor stove with him/her. The outdoor cooking stoves are very much suitable since heat can be regularised as compared with open fires. Moreover, the outdoor stoves take much less time to cook food than charcoal grilles. Every time you set fire to the charcoal, you are heavily dependent upon on outdoor conditions. It happens a lot of time that when you return to your campsite, after a day full of hectic outdoor activities, you are too drained to make recurring attempts to light charcoal. So, it is better to carry an outdoor cooking stove along with you.

Initially coal fueled or wood burning stoves were used, but due to the advancement in technology, many newer and better versions of outdoor cooking stoves have been created. Pressurized cooking stoves are quite popular these days as they have the potential to set ablaze any type of inflammable liquid such as diesel, alcohol or any other type of motor fuel. They can certainly warm and cook the food very rapidly.

The outdoor cooking stoves are available in a plethora of designs, styles and shapes. Backpacking stoves are an ideal option for those who travel long distances. Some outdoor stoves are larger, and can be carried by a car, canoe or horseback. Larger stoves store more fuel and facilitate the preparation for more than one dish at a time.

Outdoor stoves are sturdy and strong and are made in such a way that they can hold up rough climatic conditions. They are more or less fairly priced and last for years, if kept properly.

So, get a suitable outdoor stove and make your outdoor cooking a gracious and pleasurable affair!
