Abstract

A camp stove is provided having a convertible baffle and shelf. In an embodiment, a convertible baffle and shelf is hinged to one side of a firebox of the camp stove. The convertible baffle and shelf is folded upward and attached to a lid for the camp stove to serve as a baffle.

The burners are usually mounted within a firebox, and closing the lid over the firebox forms a box-like enclosure around the burners. The enclosure may then be stored in a cardboard box, or may be stored as is. [0003] The fuel supply for conventional camp stoves is typically either kerosene or propane. If kerosene is utilized, the kerosene tank is typically mounted to the stove, for example along the front of the stove....
