How to choose a gas burner

The range of such devices is large, but the question remains — how to choose a tourist gas burner? How to find one that will work in any conditions and invariably give fire? An experienced tourist helps to find the answer to this question Dmitry Klenkin.

Select burner type

As a rule, there are classic tiles and more dynamic burners. The former are more suitable for base camps and long hikes. They are more powerful and allow you to cook more food at a time.

Burners are used during short-term exits. They are compact, inexpensive and weigh little.

To heat the tent, you should look for a gas heater. In cases with burners, you need to be careful.

Consider the weather and equipment

If you are using a gas burner, then remember that you will have to carry gas bottles. They are usually filled with isobutane or propane. Most burners are simply screwed onto the cylinder. In any case, under the latter you will need a cover or bag.

If you are traveling in the cold season, then choose a torch with a hose. They are more stable, you can put dishes of a larger area on them. With the help of a hose, it will be possible to move the gas cylinder to the burner and get a strong flame.

Cylinder connection type

Another important point. Threaded connection occurs with the help of fasteners, but it is difficult to achieve a tight connection with it.

A common and reliable option is a collet mount. It is made with a clamp and does not require an additional seal. Operates on the principle of «latch».

As mentioned above, some devices also come with a hose. In addition, there are adapters on sale that allow you to connect a gas burner and a gas cylinder of different types.

Look for additional features

Each model has its own «chips» that help in the operation of the burner. In many, this is a piezo ignition, when the fire appears with the push of a button, without matches or lighters.

There are fuel heating systems that help the burner operate at low temperatures and with little gas. They can also be purchased separately.

The intensity of the flame helps to change a special regulator. This feature will save fuel consumption.

The cover and case included is designed to protect the burner from scratches and bumps and help in carrying it.

Use your burner correctly

Follow the safety rules. Do not turn on the device in a tent, car, or any other enclosed area. Also check at the time of purchase for damage to the burner components. Use the burner on a level surface. Be careful!
