It has long been popular among those who like to relax in nature or go hiking, a gas burner. It is worth saying that not every tourist considers it necessary to take extra cargo with him in the form of the burner itself and a gas cylinder, because you can always get firewood for a fire. However, there is no guarantee that trees will grow around, that they can be cut, and that there will be no damp or rain. And since you still want to eat, it’s important to prepare for the trip thoroughly.
On sale, you can usually find gas and oil burners running on gasoline. The latter are more popular as the gas freezes at -6 ° C.
But a gas burner is also in demand, so manufacturers produce models that combine two types of fuel. Winter gas is also sold, which allows the use of a gas burner even at subzero temperatures. Experienced tourists know how useful it is. A gas burner significantly saves the time that is usually spent searching for firewood, drying it, trying to light a fire, and waiting while the fire burns to the coals. After all, only after that you can start cooking. And the use of a burner simplifies and speeds up this process. You just need to refuel it and light it - and the source of fire is ready.
Tourist gas burner has a number of advantages: it is easy to use, very rarely breaks, it can be folded. This burner is easy to carry. It is light and can even be used in a tent.
The biggest difficulty is moving the gas that the burner refills, especially if the trip is long and you need a lot of gas. It’s inconvenient and difficult to carry cylinders, but you can’t do without it if you live in some wilderness in the woods for 2 weeks. Manufacturers are trying to solve this problem by supplying gas for burners to stores in places where tourists often visit. Therefore, it is possible that in the most remote village you can find the necessary gas cylinder.
Also, gas burners are popular due to their great functionality. Low fuel consumption per person per day, convenience and safety of use (even a child can use it) speak only in their favor. In its effect, a gas burner resembles a burner on a household gas stove. Its maintenance is easy to carry out, and immediately before use it does not need to be heated.
The cylinder has a very small probability of exploding, as it cools when burned. The burner emits a small amount of harmful substances during operation, and it can work for a long time without interruptions when the cylinder temperature is sufficient for gas.
A portable gas burner is often used during a picnic or camping trip by a small company or family. If a whole group of tourists goes on a trip, a more powerful unit is needed. After all, the speed of cooking depends on this. A good addition to a gas burner is a gas lamp. It is compact and convenient, its operation does not depend on batteries and a car. In addition, such a lighting device is safe, and gas is a relatively inexpensive fuel that any amateur tourist can afford.
