There are a wealth of stoves and burners available that are suited to backpacking, camping, bike-packing, pack-rafting, climbing and more extreme outdoor pursuits. Without getting hung up with semantics, a stove can support a pot as well as acting as a burner, while a burner requires an additional pot support. These stoves and burners range from the simplest and cheapest to expensive specialised stoves totally unsuited to car camping with the family. Stove and burner reviews linked below are what Three Points of the Compass has personally used for lightweight backpacking, which does not necessarily exclude them from an alternative outdoor pursuit. I have also included links to my thoughts on some windshields and stove accessories. Reviews are occasionally added to as I get round to it.
