Unless you are extremely skilled in cooking over a campfire, a camp stove is a necessity for outdoor cooking on a camping trip. You may be fortunate enough to only camp in some type of camp trailer or recreational vehicle. For everyone else, cooking outdoors when camping is going to be needed. Propane camp stoves are the best choice. After selecting the stove, you will need some accessories to make it more usable on your camping trip. There are a few accessories that are generally considered required, and a few more that are good options to have.

Pots and pans are needed for outdoor cooking.

This may seem a bit trivial to mention, but unless you intend to roast everything with a stick over the fire, pots and pans will be a necessary part of your camp stove accessories. Depending on your taste in cookware, many people find that these items work just as well when purchased cheaply at a yard sale or junk store. As long as the metal can be scrubbed with steel wool and made sanitary, any pot will do. However, if you need the non-stick type, camp stoves do not really care if the pan is top-of-the-line or not. A lot of campers like a good cast iron skillet and dutch oven because they are easy to clean. If you have a hot camp fire going, you can just throw them in there and burn everything off of their surface.

A toaster for camp stoves is a good piece of equipment to have.

These are relatively simple devices that sit over a burner and can allow you to toast from one to four pieces of bread at a time. Most require you to turn the bread to toast both sides, but with a little care, first rate toast can be achieved. Toasters are a cheap addition to the accessories for a camp stove.

A good storage container with handles is a necessary accessory.

You may choose store your camp stove within its own case, but the other accessories need a place to live when they are not in use or for transporting. Having an air tight container with or without a lock, depending on personal preference, is a good plan for storing these. Often this container can double as additional counter space when cooking at the camp site. It should be large enough for all of your camp stove accessories to be stored comfortably within. If you are an extremely avid camper, this might develop into two containers before your collection is complete.

Consider a good quality stove top oven.
