In short
- For most families, a small gas canister stove is enough — simple, clean and fast. In winter, liquid fuel is better, or a canister you keep warm against your body.
- Measure fuel, don't guess: weigh the canister before and after and keep a log — and always carry a spare canister.
- Never cook in a tent, a closed vestibule, a car or any enclosed space — carbon monoxide has no smell.
- No-cook food + quick cooking = the least fuel, dishes and risk.
- Hands, cold and separate: hand hygiene, perishable food kept cold and raw meat kept apart from everything else.
