Solid fuel, Hobostove
Advantages: The absolute main advantage is that solid fuel is always available. Whether you are in an urban environment or in the forest, there are always twigs, cones or anat combustible material to use. It is also possible to use fuel tablets, which are basically liquid solid fuel that neither soot nor smells.
Cons: You need to collect the fuel. If you rely on what is in the forest and land, you are also dependent on the weather and wind, the wood you have available can be wet and difficult to light. And although a fire has a large cozy factor, smoke, soot and smell are not always welcome.
A hobostove is intended primarily for solid fuels and is extremely flexible in its use. A Hobostove is designed so that it becomes a self-draught that concentrates heat to a smaller point and, on the other hand, the fuel is used more efficiently and creates less smoke formation. The fact that you also do not leave traces of a fire directly on the ground can also be positive, since these were often used in an urban environment from the beginning. The name Hobo Stove originally comes from the fact that homeless people (hobo ́s) made the kitchen out of a used can where the construction was simply modified into a kitchen. The effect, albeit in a new design, is what is created in modern factory-made and collapsible kitchens. The bottom line is that you get a small kitchen, which is effectively powered by small sticks instead of LPG or t-spirits.
A hobostove is suitable for those who want to camp on nature's terms and who want minimal equipment to have to rely on. Perhaps the most famous brand is Bushcraft Essentials but also Winnerwell and Petromax make very good products in the segment.
