Editorial Policy
Last updated: 2025-10-05
Purpose
Heatinerary exists to match stoves, fuels, and cookware to your route and weather so you can cook safely, efficiently, and with less waste. Our content standards ensure integrity, clarity, and usefulness.
Independence and Funding
Our recommendations are editorially independent. We do not accept payment for placement or positive coverage. Some outbound links are affiliate links, which may earn us a commission at no additional cost to you. Commissions never change our scoring, picks, or conclusions.
Product Selection and Sourcing
We select products based on relevance to real trip conditions, regulation compliance, safety, and market significance. We prefer to purchase test units; when samples are provided, we disclose it. Loaners are returned unless otherwise stated. Manufacturers do not review or approve our conclusions.
Testing and Verification
We use standardized lab protocols and real‑weather field validation (see “How We Test”). We document versions, fuels, pots, and conditions. When we have not tested a product hands‑on, we say so and limit claims to verifiable specs and context.
Scoring, Updates, and Longevity
We publish criteria and weightings for each use case (e.g., winter, ultralight, car basecamp). We update reviews when products change or when new data merits a shift in rankings. Date stamps indicate major revisions.
Safety and Stewardship
We prioritize safe operation: wind management, ventilation, CO awareness, stable setups, and child/pet considerations. We include regulation‑aware alternatives (no‑flame or shutoff‑valve rules) and encourage Leave No Trace practices.
Corrections and Feedback
If we get something wrong, we will correct it promptly and note the change. Email corrections or concerns to [email protected].
Conflicts of Interest
Contributors must disclose any relevant relationships (employment, consulting, gifts). We do not allow contributors with conflicts to influence coverage.
Affiliate Disclosure
- Some links are affiliate links; we may earn a commission if you buy through them.
- Your price is unaffected.
- Affiliate partners do not influence our reviews, rankings, or editorial decisions.
User Data and Privacy
We collect minimal data necessary to operate the site. See our Privacy Policy for details on data collection, cookies, and your rights.
Use of Tools and AI
We may use software tools for grammar, accessibility, or data analysis. Human editors are responsible for all final content. We do not publish auto‑generated reviews.
