Different bushcraft stoves are The price of a product is one of the most important factors for many consumers, no matter what they are buying.
- Compare the prices of several products if you are buying online.
- The price is affected by the materials from which it is made, the brand, the size, the quality, and if it has any additional features.

STOVE TYPE – Canister stoves are the most common and convenient type of stove, and they’re the easiest to use. Liquid fuel stoves are the most efficient for trips at high altitude or below freezing temperatures. Wood stoves are nice because you don’t have to lug fuel around, but they don’t work for trips above treeline or in most desert environments. Solid fuel stoves and alcohol stoves are generally pretty budget-friendly and they’re ultralight, but you can’t control the flame, they yield slow boil times, and they’re not great in wind.

PRICE – Some stoves are cheap and easy to make yourself, and others may cost more than a hundred dollars.

WEIGHT – Big liquid fuel power-burners used for snow melting can weigh close to a pound and ultralight gram-saver stoves can weigh under an ounce. We tend to prefer ultralight canister stoves for most of our 3-season backpacking trips, but we do bring heavier integrated stove systems for shorter trips and liquid fuel stoves for winter trips.
