Love the dutch oven for deserts. Nothing quite like cobbler at camp!

Years ago the wife and I picked up a Century brand two burner stove. Its been a trooper for almost 20 years. 2 cross country trips and countless short trips and keeps working.

Just picked this up today! A friend found it at an estate sale and grabbed it for me for $20. It had fuel in it so I just blew it out with my air hose, pumped it up and fired it. Started just as easy as if it had been used to whip up breakfast this morning. No leaking packing or any issues. This should make fixing meals for the 5 of us a breeze in camp!

We currently have Partner Steel stoves. The 18" is a great smaller 2 burner stove, but the 22" 2 burner stove is the perfect size for 2 cast iron skillets, or 1 griddle. We also have 2-3 MSR Pocket Rockets that we use for backpacking.

I just picked up this stove with hose and regulator for £35 ($45). all I need now is a suitably sized bottle and I'll be "cooking on gas!"

Having returned from a week away I can genuinely say this stove did everything I expected of it.
I also like the single burner camp stoves. I have a primus that runs camp gas or pressurized butane. Msr makes one too, the whisperlight universal. Gas for when i got time... butane for when im in a hurry. I find the stoves that attach on cannisters lack stability, so i use a detached cannister. I have a propane bbq that travells with me too on longer trips. Its small and uses green propane tanks. But i use an open fire as often as possible.

I got t
I got the MSR for backpacking and used it when I went car camping in Iceland. Worked great. I like that you can get different sized canisters, and use a variety of fuels.
try one of these if you get the chance. i bit tricky to perfect the process, but so good once you do. i used pancake mix.

I live out of my Jeep and use the Coleman Classic Propane 2 burner stove - http://amzn.to/2sBzv75 - it's compact to fit under the cot inside my YJ and works great!

I have a Sierra Wilderness Two burner camp stove which is just like a Coleman and uses the small propane canisters. I have had it for years and have never had an issue with it.

Digging out my old gear to load the Hiker Trailer. I bought this Coleman 425 stove (425F499) 37 years ago, and it still works perfectly. It stores in its original box (which is a little worse for wear) so it still looks nearly new.

For family base camping (3 or more days) we use a coleman 2 burner tailgating grill.
For quick father and son trips (1 to 2 days) we have a 1 burner coleman stove.
And in our lightweight backpack we use a snow peak GST 120r gigapower lite max.
Hope this helps.

I have a few to choose from depending on my needs for the trip. Old school Coleman 425E 2 burner duel fuel, Snow Peak Ti LiteMax, Vargo Ti wood stove, or my penny stove are my choices.

I also have the camp chef everest and love it so far. It works very well with my cast iron cookware.

We've been using this coleman grill for about 6 years now I think. We have 2 flat tops and 2 grill grates. It's a little big, but it's nice to have options. Now on our upcoming trip (will be our first "overlanding" trip) we will probably leave this one at home and grab a $50 coleman 2 burner since it's a lot smaller, and all our meals will be one pot or skillet. It will be nice to have options anyway. Then if we go with a group we can make bigger meals with both.
