STOVES 



There are several kinds of stoves 

 made for camping, and they all 

 serve their purpose. 



They are practically the same, only differing 

 slightly in construction. The features necessary are 

 strength and compactness. The stove-pipe should 

 be in short lengths, telescope, and fit in the oven. 

 There should be no legs, or any protruding parts of 

 any kind, as they would be broken in transporta- 

 tion. Almost all camp stoves heat up to an extent 

 that makes baking bread difficult. This feature 

 may be overcome by placing pebbles on the floor of 

 the oven and cooking the bread w^ith the door of 

 the oven slightly open. Some stoves are made v/ith 

 the oven separate. The oven, in this case, fits on 

 the stove-pipe, but it is inferior to an oven in the 

 body of the stove. 



Before making a fire in a camp stove, it is always 

 a good plan to fill the fire-box with an inch or two 

 of sand. This protects the sheet iron and makes it 

 last longer.
