Be Campsite Savvy This Season With OutdoorGB.com

July 9, 2009 - PRLog -- With camping having become the new fashionable choice of getaway, many people are choosing to holiday closer to home, with this in mind OutdoorGB.com, the leading  outdoor clothing and equipment retailers, are launching their very own guide to selecting the right camping stoves to bring a bit of home comfort to the campsite.

If the weather is miserable, getting some hot food inside of you is the perfect feeling, no one wants to rely on crisps and sandwiches at mealtimes nor do they want to be walking about in rainy conditions in pursuit of their dinner, especially during festival season, where fast food vans engage in the annual price hike.

Although some festivals ban the use of gas stoves, LPG stoves such as the Coleman Fyrestorm Stove or the Optimus Nova+ Lightweight Compact Multi-fuel Stove are ideal, as they provide a more controlled option. The Coleman Fyrestorm Stove, a specialist omni-fuel stove, is lightweight, wind resistant and powerful, ideal for camping in the British countryside, where temperatures can fluctuate at the drop of a hat. Once placed in to liquid fuel mode, priming or pre-heating is no longer required thanks to the Reflex™ technology and in LPG mode; a unique butane/propane cartridge adapter is designed to invert the cartridge, optimising performance for lower temperatures and higher altitudes.

Chief executive of OutdoorGB.com and SailGB.com the leading outdoor clothing and equipment retailers, Edward Giles, said, “It is essential that if you are choosing a new camping stove that you decide exactly what you are going to be using it for and how many people will be eating, carrying a large stove for only one person is just a waste of vital pack space. Also consider the conditions in which you are using it, if you are going to be using it in bleak weather conditions, go for a model like the Jetboil which will still offer great performance.”

In some areas and indeed countries you may find it difficult to get hold of your preferred fuel, however with some more versatile stoves, you can use a range of fuel types.  Stoves from brands such as Optimus, Jetboil, Primus are ideal for outdoor adventures, where getting a particular type of fuel could prove tricky.

The Jetboil Camping Stove (Personal Cooking System), is one of OutdoorGB’s best selling products. Multi-award winning, this lightweight stove has revolutionised outdoor cooking and is extremely popular amongst outdoorsmen and campers due to its super fast boil times and ability to operate in the bleakest of weather conditions. The Jetboil will boil 500ml of water in just two minutes, approximately half the time of a standard camping stove, which means that you have more time to enjoy your holiday.

Alternatively, the Optimus Crux Lite Lightweight Stove could also be your ideal companion.  Considered to be one of the world’s most lightweight stoves, weighing in at just 72 grams and measuring 75 x 57 x 55mm, this stove includes a burner with valve and stuff bag, ideal for transportation to and from the campsite.
