Where to buy:
Liquid fuel is still the most reliable form of fuel available globally, thus nixing a lot of propane-reliant camping stoves off the list for some of your off-the-grid trips. Mountain Safety Research (MSR) diehards swear by this more technical stove, noting that liquid fuel allows for cooking in extremely cold conditions.
The technicality of filling up liquid fuel in the canister and priming the pump for use can be daunting for some, but once learned, this stove is said to be an off-the-grid favorite among avid hikers and campers.
A propane canister can be used as well but the liquid fuel source is favored for this stove.
This highly regarded camping stove is a no-frills, single-burner setup attractive for individuals going beyond the cell phone signal range. You can find liquid fuel in many more places globally compared to propane cylinders and the small, compact size of the setup makes for an easier packing experience for backpacking treks.
