Abstract
The portable single burner campstove of this invention is characterized by compactness to conform to the space limitations of backpacking. The cooking unit assembly which can be mounted on top of a tank includes a reflector bowl, a burner within the reflector bowl and a grate. In addition, there is provided a burner box attached to the reflector bowl in communication with the burner. The burner box includes internal venturi means for carrying fuel from the tank into the burner box. In particular, there is provided a tube extending inwardly from the side of the burner box. The tube serves to entrain air with the fuel as the fuel is fed into the burner box. In addition, the burner box serves as a mixing chamber and distribution plenum for feeding a steady flow or an air/fuel mixture to the burner. The portable single burner campstove of the invention is characterized by high efficiency with minimum external dimensions.
