3. The stove on the wood is a small saucepan covered with a tin can without the bottom and the lid. There is a burner on top of which you can prepare food. Made of such stoves completely made of metal, so they quickly heat up and create heat. In a saucepan, wood is poured in and easily ignited. Such tourist hiking stoves are protected from the wind and are safe.
4. Hiking mini-stove . On sale you can find gas or wood-burning pinches. They are used for fast heating of food, but they will not heat large tents. Such stoves are compact, easily fit in a small pocket of your backpack.
