They all run on the 1 pound canisters running my lanterns. And if you want to get fancy a big bbq tank and a T adapter and hoses can run multiples. A grill grate is also in my camping tote although I don’t prefer that except after we are done for the day and back in camp as building a fire for cooking takes time and has to be tended to and wood gathered etc.

One thing I do miss about living near you is we used to go camping in the Sierra 2 nights and even like this weekend Monday holiday we’d go 3 nights and there are so many campgrounds to choose from. Up 108 and even over to 395 and around. All the gear is in 2 tote bins cooking and fuel and lanterns in one and tents and hammocks and all other accessories int he other. Toss both in the truck yeti full of food sleeping bags and duffle bag of clothes and hit the road be up in the hills in 2 hours or less.

When the kids are ready for real backpacking and lightweight camping get the lightweight single burner stove ans micro tent and they can learn about divvy’ng up the weight.
