I haven’t been camping in years but for our wedding we stuck a camp stove on our registry regardless. Seduced by its Japanese design, I imagined us stylishly cooking almond flour pancakes on our stovetop and immediately forgot about the hard ground, cold nights, and copious mosquitos. Then a friend generously bought us the stove and so, next week we’ll be pitching our tent in rural Maine.
The moral of the story? A beautiful camp stove is enough to get any urbanite outdoors. Here are our favorites.
