Camp Grills, what are you using?

the same applies to using compressed butane/isobutane cartridges.
about 7000 feet you're also going to have noticeably increased cooking times.
which means if you're planning on using iso/butane above 7k feet you're going to need to use it longer which exacerbates the cartridge frosting harder and faster

for cooking at altitude I'd suggest using a larger propane bottle or switching to a different stove-fuel combination (I switch to hand pressurized white gas or just use a fire)
a larger bottle will accommodate increased liquid-to-fuel vaporization inside the bottle and alleviate some of the bottle freezing problems

 

I’ve got a Coleman 413. A gallon of fuel tends to last me all year and it puts off a TON of heat.

On one trip we let it run all evening to warm our hands at the picnic table.

 

We actually just cleaned up an old Coleman 413G stove and it works great!

 

those things are indestructible.
our Boy Scout camp still uses them, they were purchased in 1970.
besides having some pump plungers replaced they're perfectly safe and operate well.

 

That ninja airfryer/grill. Hahaha

 

They sure are. I didn't even replace mine, just used some bike suspension oil to rejuvenate the leather portion and some brake cleaner to free up the one way valve. It could probably use a new cap seal, but it holds pressure still!

 

We’re using the Coleman Triton, but I’m looking for a better one at REI.

 

We use the Eureka from REI. Light but is good for small pots & pans, 3-4 people.

 

Camp chef 14" PRO with griddle
Best purchase we have made in long time regarding camping.. Yes, it's big and cumbersome but we love to cook and it's usually the most important part of our trips. FOOD!!

The good old-fashioned Coleman camp stove with non-stick pots and pans, and the $35 Char-Broil propane grill. Cooked everything from burgers to sausages to swordfish on the latter. Only change I had to make was adding lock washers to the Char-Broil. My to-do list does include finding a storage bag that can fit them both stacked, though.

 

We use something similar as our BBQ along with the camp chef. Nice topper!

When I am am out with a group:

 

We have used a Coleman white gas stove for years, still do in certain circumstances, but purchased a Coleman FireKnyght about 5 years and love it unless we are vacationing in Utah or Colorado. We have had no adjustability issues at altitudes less than 6000’ though… In fact we use it with a Coleman folding cook oven to make cinnamon rolls, bread, etc. and it holds
temp very well. It rides in my truck bed drawer system at all times, along with a GSI Bugaboo Kit and 2 Stanley Personal French Presses. Especially loved when wood cutting, hunting, or fishing, or long trips where a good cup of strong coffee is needed. When going for an extended time we have a two burner camp chef explorer with modular grill and griddle attachments. I also have a Traeger Scout that now goes with us on most of our trips. Powered by small Honda inverter or Jackery.

 

Ah, I never reported back. This thing worked great! We were using the burners as well as the oven at the same time and it all cooked perfectly. Would recommend!

 

Hitch attachment is pretty sturdy. Travelled a few thousand miles with it .

 

I highly recommend the Weber Jumbo Joe. It's very portable and has a usable amount of grate space.

Also, you might want to check out American Badass Grill. It's a brand new product being promoted by Kid Rock. It's only been available for just over a week and I haven't seen any reviews of it yet. Having said that, it looks like a solid product and because it uses a difuser plate between the coals and the grate the entire grate can be utilized (it's available in both charcoal and gas). Also, the Weber Q series is pretty nice if you are looking for a gas cooker.

 

I started with a Road Trip Grill. I liked cooking on it, but it was just too big and bulky. I’ve been really happy ever since I switched to a Camp Chef Ranger II. It’s really convenient to use, partly because I built a combo slide for the stove and fridge. Works great with the 19” Lodge griddle/grill. Looking forward to trying it with the Coleman oven I recently picked up.

 

I use a simipar one, the 3400. Been using it a couple years, and love it.
I also have a "truck stove", that resides in my truck, my old Svea 123R. The nice thing about this, is that I can store white gas in it almost indefinitely, and it will still work. I put this away probably in 2015 or so, and just dug it out this past december. Fired it up, with the gas inside it, and it worked fine. Simple and effective, I use it for boiling water for coffee, tea, etc.
The GasOne stove, I use a discada to cook on it. I picked up a cheap cast iron trivet, which fits over the stove stand on it. Sit the discada on it, and it fits perfectly. Only cooked a single meal on it, as a test, but it worked out fine. Discada cost me $50, the trivet was like $5-beats the hell out of a $500 stand alone setup IMHO.

 

Anyone know of a 2 burner stove with recessed control knobs. I know of partner steel but I won't shell out nearly $500 for a camping stove.
