Portable gas stove

Initially, a small portable gas stove (GWP) was made not for domestic use. It was adopted by tourists. After all, it is light in weight and powerful in work. It was also useful in areas where gas is not connected and problems with electricity often occur.

Features

Travel models are transported very carefully. They are placed in strong metal cases (their material is stainless steel).

This unit has a mini oven. It has a powerful defense against moisture and mechanical stress. It can serve a very long time and not lose its attractive appearance.

Strengths of GWP for giving:

1. Modest weight and size.
2. The burners operate silently and safely (as long as there is gas in the cylinder).
3. Simplicity of design.
4. Fire is controlled. This is a guarantee of fire safety.
5. Powerful defense against corrosion and mechanical defects.
6. Reasonable cost.
7. Serious power.

Weak:

• the possibility of tipping over is high;
• the cylinder cools rapidly at a temperature of –10 and below;
• backup cylinder required.

For high-quality work, GWP needs only a special can of gas. His views:

• collet;
• threaded;
• disposable;
• with refill option.

At one dose of fuel, the operation of the furnace lasts up to 90 minutes. Often, portable models have only one burner. Its power is 2-2.5 kW. These devices have the following parameters: 34 x 27 cm (maximum values), and in height: 10-13 cm. They weigh less than 2 kg.

There are modifications of 2 hotplates. Many of them are designed for seasonal operation. They belong to the category of desktop devices.

In the tourist versions there are few models with two burners. And those who have this option have such a feature: each burner needs a separate cylinder. But on this machine you can prepare meals for a large team: 10-12 people.

Functionality Questions

GWP is commonly used outdoors. However, its degree of safety is equivalent to full-size models. Depending on the modification and price, such options may be present here:

1. Unintentional inclusion block.
2. Gas control.
3. Gas leakage protection.
4. Integrated piezo component for easy ignition.

Usually, cast aluminum burners are arranged in the GWP. These are standard ring fire versions.

The best in terms of productivity and economy are stoves with a ceramic burner and burners with a developed diameter. Under them, the fire is obedient, almost does not penetrate outward. These are great variations in safety.

Modern GWPs also have the following features:

1. Option for pre-heating fuel. The device turns on faster. This is very important when used in the cold.
2. Connection to household gas tanks and other sources of this fuel.
3. Protection against illiterate cylinder installation. In some versions, the gas supply may be blocked, in others, piezo ignition is blocked.
4. Automatic stop of gas supply at excessive pressure.
5. Some models with an infrared burner.

There are also universal GWPs with an adapter for a large balloon. It lowers blood pressure. This is a class RDSG1-1,2 gearbox.

Still need a connecting hose (its length may be different) and two clamps. They are tightly crimped flexible eyeliner. It is arranged on the inlet and outlet fittings. If you need any more components, they will have to be purchased separately.

GWP for domestic use weighs significantly more tourist modifications. And accordingly, they need more space to accommodate, they consume more fuel and have great prices.

Criteria for choosing a tourist version

1. Power. For 1-3 people, 1 kW is enough. The calculation is as follows: 1 kW = 1 liter of water or other liquid. For 5-7 hikers you need 4-6 liters. Power is developing proportionally. Although for a large team you can create porridge on a device with low power, but the process will last much longer and more fuel will be spent.
2. Weight. Usually these mini tiles are not heavy. But, the longer the path, the harder they may seem.
3. Cooktop parameters. They affect the width and volume of dishes. If up to 10 kg of food can be placed on one burner, a team of 5-6 people can be fed.
4. Fuel consumption. These data are reflected in the technical documentation of the device. The less time it takes to boil water, the more serious the waste of gas.
5. Some models have devices that protect the fire from various precipitation and wind.
6. Piezo ignition. This option starts the machine with one click and maintains a stable level of fire. But, going on a long hike, it is recommended to stock up on ordinary matches.
7. Additional devices. These are reserve cylinders, special covers and suitcases.

Infrared GWP

Their advantages: compactness, mobility, reliable shelter from rain and wind, fuel economy, high power.

This is a list of advantages ideally. It is not found on all models. In this regard, stand out:

1. Camping device Irida-10. Mini. He has only 1 burner, weight - 900 grams, power - 1.3 kW. The flame in it does not go out with a gusty wind and rainfall.
2. Irida 22. She has 2 rings. It can be easily adjusted along two circuits, it functions in any conditions.
3. Irida-150. This is a real find for lovers of portability. Its mass is 600 grams and its power is 2.5 kW. Even if it is under the thickness of the snow, it will continue to work anyway.

Often, such models are used for heating purposes in cottages and in country houses. This is very important when you rarely come there.

GWP with oven

Compactness and high functionality today are in high esteem. Moreover, the parameters of apartments are decreasing. It is necessary to carefully consider the filling of the kitchen space and the selection of equipment. Everything needs to be organized skillfully so that there is a cooking zone. This dilemma is easily solved by GWP with an oven. For example, a built-in 45 cm compact stove has the same range of functions as a standard stove. True food is placed in it for only two people. But it helps to seriously save on resources.

She is especially honored by students and those who live alone in a rental home. It is easy to move. And it will allow you to create delicious dishes from the oven.

Often newlyweds acquire it. They just got their own apartment, no children, and they work a lot. There is not enough time for cooking. And it’s not logical for them to cook large amounts of food.

For large families, this model is not suitable.

It must be properly connected to the gas network. This work is best trusted by specialists from the gas service.

The device is compact and has significantly lower prices than its full-size counterparts. And it consumes gas much less. He has two burners. One is bigger, the other is smaller. You should be aware that it is simply impossible to transfer it from place to place, as is the case with the electrical analogue. Its disconnection is also the work of employees of the gas organization.

GWP selection criteria with oven

In order for the purchase not to disappoint you in the future, you must follow some criteria for its selection:

1. Seriously compare the characteristics of different models. Often the price of an expensive and cheaper modification differs slightly. There are minor differences in their functionality.
2. No need to focus on just one device. It is better to consider several versions at once.
3. Learn reviews online.Often users share "sore." Many weaknesses of the device you have chosen immediately pop up there. Its merits are also indicated.
4. Analyze your needs. Perhaps an attractive compact model is not suitable for you at all.
5. Consider your financial potential. It is not necessary to purchase the most expensive modification. Serious cost is not always a guarantee of serious quality.
