# Compactly Configured Camping Stoves The L-Burner is Small, Stable, Safe and Lightweight By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lburner References: [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/en/online-exhibition/concept/?code=1067&y=2013&c=21&a=0) When it comes to [camping equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dometic-cadac-2-cook-3-turbo), products need to meet some pretty particular criteria. The L-Burner has been designed not to skimp out on any of it, offering [compactness, portability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-kettle), safety and reliability. Yoon Taesik began with the difficulty of the cylindrical propane tank and strove to integrate it cleverly into his design. The resultant form was an extended cylinder. The casing is only as large as it needs to be to effectively contain the gas and to keep it at sufficient distance from the ignition ball. The L-Burner comes with its [wireframe elements folded up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-titanium-grill) and the device long like a tube. An L-joint allows you to twist and fold it to give it stability in such a way that takes up little space while cooking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Camping Equipment:** There is a growing trend in the camping industry for compact and portable equipment that doesn't compromise on safety and reliability. - **Integration of Design Elements:** Designers are finding innovative ways to integrate different elements of a product, such as Yoon Taesik integrating the cylindrical propane tank cleverly into the L-Burner design. - **Space-saving Solutions:** Consumers are increasingly looking for space-saving solutions, like the L-Burner's ability to fold into a compact tube shape for easy storage and transportation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Camping Equipment:** The camping equipment industry can capitalize on the demand for compact and portable products that prioritize safety and reliability. - **Outdoor Cooking Appliances:** The outdoor cooking appliance industry has an opportunity to innovate by integrating design elements to enhance functionality, like the L-Burner's L-joint feature. - **Home Storage and Organization:** The home storage and organization industry can explore space-saving solutions inspired by the compact design of the L-Burner, catering to consumers who prioritize optimizing their living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Camper Butane Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-home-camp-burner.md) - [Collapsible Wood-Burning Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leikki-camping-stove.md) - [Dual-Purpose Camping Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-maple-sunflower-x.md) - [Multi-Modal Folding Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-stove.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Camping Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firetower-ti.md) - [Camping-Friendly Compact Cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yunsoo-choi.md) - [Micro-Sized Backpacker Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antarcti-gas-fire-pit.md) - [Flatpack Titanium Stove Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuhu-stove.md) - [Dual-Function Gas Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beacon-lantern.md)
