Nice grill. I bought the Napoleon clamshell grill for my wife and I. I cooked for seven during our last trip.

I use my folding G2-5" Folding Firebox Stove. It folds flat so its been on all my kayak trips. The best part is it burns every type of fuel so you can grill in the evening and use the tangier burner to make coffee in the morning.

Broke down and got one of those 17 inch Blackstone table top grills.  Seasoned up well. I report back on how it does Camping. Off to Maine via Vermont in ten days.

Just to update on this little grill. Our first time out someone ( KIDS WE THINK ) stole it.  It did well the 2 times we did use it. We have bought a newer different one now and have used it enough times now to know we really like it.  It cooks even and very hot. It has a small built in wood chip smoker too.

I don't have a lot of images of it but I do have one on first use. Warmed up some left over Chicken we had. he he he

From you images it looks like that cooker puts out some good heat. That it folds down to a small box is all the better.
Multi fuel user tops it off. Nice.

I've been looking at the Camp Chef Everest two burner.

I do love my little Iwatani butane stove and the O grill Napoleon

I got the Camp Chef Everest this year, it's been pretty good so far.  Throws a lot of heat but also is pretty good on simmer.  I'm not a big camping cooker type but I'd buy it again.  The one thing I did do was buy a 10 lb (2 1/2 gal) propane tank so that I didn't have to carry a bunch of one pound cylinders.

I use the weber q1200. It was expensive at $200, but it works amazing. No hot spots great heat control and I got the griddle to go on top. I have fried bacon, sausage, made pancakes, baked pizza, and literally everything under the sun on this thing. I got the hose and a small tank to get away from the 1lb cans. We still use the cans, but I am thinking about tapping into the propane line on the trailer with an outlet. I have only ever had to boil water on the stove. It's not that I don't use the stove, its just nice to keep the mess out on the picnic table rather than destroy the kitchen. Also weber has every part available so it keeps me from buying another "disposable" grill.

I wondered if the high BTU burners were sensitive enough to not waste propane.


I have the two burner stove that came with my QS 10.0. It's OK at best. Has no starter and no low setting (the knob has no low flame setting stop) so if you want a simmer, it'll frequently go off causing you to get the matches out. But, I have used it for two years. It's time to get something better. The Camp Chef line looks pretty good. Some of the Coleman products seem to be a bit sketchy, quality wise. Stansport looks good too.

On our most recent trip to the Smoky Mountains for the solar eclipse our 2 burner gas stove starting acting up. I was relieved to know that we had the Kelly Kettle as a backup. We managed to cook breakfast and dinner for 7 people using nothing but kindling. The design is genius. It's basically a rocket stove and the kettle which holds water is hollow in the center and serves as a chimney. With this design you can cook your breafast while simultaneously boiling water for coffee. When the water is boiling simply remove the kettle pop the hobo stove on to continue cooking, while sipping a nice hot cup of coffee from your french press ;)

Hey Voss

Nice back up.  An astronomy friend of mine has one those Kelly Kettles and loves it. He and his wife do a lot of back packing and long range hiking trips. They uses it for everything. Not really sure why , but he says it is there one heavy item. I guess to back packers every once counts.
