Those were my two finalists. We went with the Camp Chef because that’s what my wife liked but I preferred the storability of the Triton.

So I have a partner steel 22", with stand and block off plate for the rig and like it alot, I would say a good 30% of my summer meals are cooked on it the last 2 years. The other 70% is a mix of dutch oven, smoker, grill, and or camp chef with some sort of attachment (pizza oven and griddle are my favorites). But looking at the cost of that Jetboil genesis, 240 base price? Not bad, I like the compactness of it, I like the recessed knobs (still way more exposed than the partner), I like the hose fitting. Not sure if I would go with this or maybe the partner 9" 2 burner folding. Most likely the partner, but the jetboil sure does look nice as well.
Just curious, has anyone had issues with center hose deal? I really see that being an issue in the long run with how they fold up and the pivot this hose assy makes, but they do look nice. Keep this thread going and great looking meals everyone.

No problem, take a look at their base camp too, its just the 1 stove. The base camp 2 has two stoves

I've tried a Camp Chef Everest and a Coleman Classic, but my favorite is Stansport Outfitter 2 burner. Great low flame simmer control even in wind. Also I like the twist to ignite vs the push button igniter because the stove doesn't slide around while starting it.
Thanks for all the insight and suggestions. just happen to be in the same spot. Think I'll go with the Camp Chef, similra to the Primus I owned for many years.

Sounds like you made your decision, but I really like my basic Coleman stove. Flame control has been fine and it’s simple with few parts as you have to light it. But for $34 it’s awesome :)

That’s a great point. I had to add a front handle & rubber feet to counteract that on my Camp Chef
If you want a stove that runs on multi-use fuel. The Coleman white gas stoves will also run on unleaded gasoline. It requires a little more maintenance because its not as clean as white gas, but what I do is throw a little fuel injector cleaner with every tank of gas.

We use one of my variety of Coleman white gas stoves. We have a single burner backpack style that usually stays in my X, a small two burner if there's just a couple of us, a larger two burner if we're going to use the griddle or oven, and a three burner for whole family trips. They all work great and I've not paid over $25 for any of them.

My current main stove is a Eureka inspire XL. It has run well so far. It is nice because I can lit it to others and use one large tank. There is also a jet boil that will link to it so I can boil coffee water and still have 2 burners to cool from. I it is big enough for my 10 inch cast iron and a medium pot.
I love my jet boil. I never cook in it, its reserved for coffee only. The french press attachment makes a really nice cup, super fast.
I think I like the JetBoil Genesis 2. I’ve had the Skottle, but sold it. I think the JetBoil with the extra pots is pretty cool and still cheaper than a Skottle and packs way smaller than a Camp Chef especially went you have to bring your own pots.
You will like it. I like mine. I went with a Lodge griddle as I personally think Cast Iron is the bomb. Just FYI the Lodge LDP3 fits great on the 22" and it only cost $20-30, and is cast iron, and has a grill on the other side! But both are American made awesome.
