Gas Burner: It is the classic, vertical camping stove. The burner attaches directly to the gas cartridge. It is lightweight, takes up very little space, and is intended mainly for a small coffee pot, for mountaineering use.
Portable Kitchen: It has a horizontal, wide design that resembles a single burner of a standard stove. The gas canister is placed sideways in a special hidden compartment. It is much more stable, can support regular pots, and is ideal for cooking at the cottage or while camping.
Automatic: (Piezoelectric): The device has a built-in mechanism. By opening the gas flow and pressing the special button, a spark is generated and the stove lights automatically. No external flame source is required.
Manual: The device does not have its own spark mechanism. To light it, you must slightly open the gas valve by hand and bring an external flame source close to the burner (e.g., a lighter, match, or special spark igniter).
Screw-in: It has a thread on the top so the stove can be screwed on, and an integrated safety valve. Its advantage is that it can be unscrewed and removed safely even if it has not been emptied.
Perforated: It is the classic, old-style canister. The camping stove punctures it permanently upon first installation. Once connected, it cannot be removed unless all the gas has been used up.
Kitchen: It resembles a spray in shape and is applied with a notch/snap-on system (not screw-on). It is mainly used on horizontal, tabletop “suitcase-style” stoves.
