The Perfect Camp Stove

Have you considered the aluminum Camp Chef Mountaineer? Detachable legs are optional....

I second (or third, or fourth TLDR all posts) the Camp Chef mountaineer, just got home for a trip and think it's actually faster than my stove at home!

Looks like a great little unit, from what I saw, but that price tag! YIKES! My first 4x4 cost less than that! At that price, I'm sticking with my good old reliable $20 Coleman stove lol

EDIT: The first price I found when googling this stove was $1950! I just re-checked it and found $459 - much more sane. My initial reaction was in regards to that first insane price.

Yeah, I still have one of those as well. They’re like an electric stove compared to gas, it gets the job done but you’re gonna have to wait. I get (or used to get) a pretty hefty discount on camp chef due to working in the outdoor industry, that helped the price a lot.

Does it just have some kind of massive BTU output or something? Running on the same stuff, so the only real difference in cook time would have to come from a bigger/more intense burner.

I have to say, I've never felt like I had to wait too long using my Coleman. Boils the water for my morning coffee pretty quick. But hey, if you got one at a hefty discount and you love it, then more power to ya brother!

Wow, in an industry with $50-75k+ trucks with double that in bolt on “must-haves”. An industry whose unofficial moto is “buy once, cry once”, I get beat up over spending a couple hundred on a nice stove?!? People spend double that on RotopaX they leave on while driving to the ski resort. I’m probably one of the most frugal guys on here. I drive a 19 year old Land Rover with 300k miles I bought 8 years ago for $5k I DIY all my own accessories for. But sure, keep harping on my expensive stove. And yes, its 40k BTU/hr output appears to double that of a two burner propane Coleman.
