The Kelly Kettle is located on top of a bowl (also made of stainless steel), which has a tiny hole on its side. Two hours after I first lit the charcoal and it still maxed out my thermometer (it's over 1022 degrees) Go for a fuel-efficient stove that directs the heat towards the cooking surface rather than letting it dissipate outwards.

Overall, it’s made like a tank and built to last for ages. Apart from that, it’s perfect for emergency situations as you can cook food on it just by using charcoal and wood as fuel. It was simple to operate and also easy to clean when I was finished. I just opened the two doors and dumped the ash out. Blowing into the top, the remainder of the loose ash blasted out of the open front doors. For transport, I carried it in a trash bag to avoid mess and contain the smell. That worked flawlessly.

While it might look rather like the cheaper woodgas reviewed below, it’s in a different league (and you do pay for that difference). Make sure that you place the pot on the stove which the stove can hold. If there is anything on the stove that is too big in diameter, it will be very difficult for the pot to maintain balance. Using a pot with the same diameter as the stove is more than ideal to maintain proper balance when you’re cooking. Step 5 | Just cook the food

THE QUICK LIST

Cast iron stove tops are the best choice as they offer great heat distribution for even cooking. However, they will add to the overall weight, so you’ll have to keep this in mind. Size & Weight – Portability There is a section on the bottom of the stove called the burn chamber. That is where you can keep on adding more wood (fuel) to the stove and keep the fire burning. There is another opening in the burn chamber, which allows air to flow through it. The more the air flow, the faster the fuel burns. Opt for a Biolite setif you want the gadgets – it works out more cheaply and the individual bits. But do think about what you’ll actually use in practice. Energy Efficient- My test only used charcoal, but 14 coals was enough to keep a fire going for well over 3 hours. which is perfect for times when fuel consumption is a major concern.
