About Us

Mission Statement

Heatinerary helps you choose a stove-and-cookware system that’s tuned to your exact trip. We match conditions to gear using standardized, real‑weather testing and itinerary‑based fuel planning so you can cook safely, efficiently, and with less waste—every time.

Our Brand Story

The wrong stove at the wrong time turns dinner into damage control: sputtering flames in a crosswind, empty canisters at high camp, or a roaring burner that can’t simmer real food. We started Heatinerary after too many trips where marketing claims didn’t match the mountain. Instead of hype, we built a Trip‑Tuned Stove Lab that tests in the conditions you actually face—wind, cold, elevation—and translates the results into clear picks for car campers, ultralight backpackers, winter travelers, overlanders, and anyone preparing for emergencies.

Our approach is simple: your route and weather come first. We standardize tests for boil time, fuel use, stability, ignition reliability, simmer control, noise, and pack volume, then layer on real‑world field days to validate the data. Tools like our fuel‑by‑menu‑and‑weather calculator, stove–pot pairing guides, and regulation‑aware alternatives for no‑flame conditions help you pack exactly what you need—and nothing you don’t.

What We Stand For

• Trip‑fit over hype: recommendations grounded in route, season, and regulations.
• Safety and stewardship: wind management, ventilation, CO awareness, stable setups, and Leave No Trace.
• Repairability and lifecycle cost: gear that lasts, with spares and simple maintenance to avoid trip‑ending failures.

Our Team

• Field Lead: Puts stoves through dawn patrols, storm cooks, and long‑haul overlanding days to verify lab findings in messy weather.
• Test Engineer: Designs repeatable protocols for wind, temperature, and elevation; tracks boil time, fuel burn, and ignition cycles.
• Safety & Standards Editor: Focuses on low‑impact cooking, regulation compliance, and practical risk management.
• Camp Chef & Systems Tuner: Dialed simmer control, pot/pan compatibility, and real‑food techniques for solo to group kitchens.

Together, we publish condition‑based picks, maintain checklists and planners, and keep our data honest so you can light up, cook well, and get home with a small fuel buffer—not a heavy surplus.
