A propane stove is a cooking appliance that uses propane gas as fuel. These stoves are popular for both indoor and outdoor cooking due to their efficiency and portability. They provide instant heat and precise temperature control, making them ideal for various cooking methods, including boiling, frying, and grilling. Propane stoves come in different designs, including portable models for camping and larger units for home use. They typically require a propane tank, which can be easily replaced or refilled. Safety features, such as automatic shut-off valves, are often included to prevent accidents during use.
