Tetonware is inspired by the Tetons: simple, rugged, and practical. This guide is built for real trips—not spec-sheet fantasies.
Quick take
If you just want the short answer, start with your trip type (car camping vs backpacking), your group size, and your “annoyance tolerance” for cleanup. Most bad purchases come from buying for the wrong scenario.
What to look for
We focus on practical factors: pack size, fuel availability, simmer control, pot compatibility, durability, and cleanup. Specs matter—but only after the use-case is right.
Common mistakes
Buying too big for your car-camping space, buying too small for your group, ignoring wind performance, and forgetting that food storage and cleanup are part of the “kitchen,” not separate problems.
How we choose
We compare features and real-world constraints rather than hype. When possible, we prioritize gear with predictable performance and easy-to-find consumables.
