Burning yourself is the last thing that you and your family and friends want while your on a camping trip or festival. So if you’re keen to cook on your camping trip and you’re using a camping stove, please have a read through our top 8 safety tips.
1. Check you have slotted the gas canister in place correctly before you start to cook. Try and find a flat surface to place it down to prevent it from falling over.
2. To ignite the stove, turn the knob to the right gently and listen for the click. Placing your stove in a sheltered area from wind will help it light and your food to cook quicker and save on gas.
