This is a great little stove that resolves all my complaints with other stoves.

Background, and why I wanted to try this out:

I've used many Coleman and knockoff propane 2 burner stoves over the years and I always get annoyed at how the control knobs seem to have two settings... off, and surface of the sun. Makes simmering or frying an egg a really frustrating experience.

I also have friends who like to use a big steamer basket to make dumplings, and the regular stoves just can't keep up with that, so we borrowed a Camp Chef Explorer 14 2-burner and while it's got some great features, it weighs like 40+ lbs and takes up half the car! And as a bonus it doesn't have an igniter in the one we used, so more than once someone singed the hair on their arms. No thanks!

So in comes this folding 2 burner and even with the high praise other reviewers have given it I'm still impressed!

Folded and in its case it tucks into the smallest corners of the car. Opened up, it will hold my big carbon steel and my big stock pot and there's plenty of room to spare.

I found the marketing photos hard to tell the scale as images can be deceiving, so I included a photo of it set up on top of my full size home range.

I saw the complaints from others about needing to pull the knobs a bit when adjusting to get more heat... I recommend something else:

1. Turn the knob all the way to the off position

2. Pull the knob off the stove completely

3. Put the knob back on but first turn it to the right, as far as it will go before it won't go back on.

4. Be amazed by the heat output

See the video to see the difference.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this burner puts out the full 17,000btu advertised, which puts it in competition with the Camp Chef Ranger and Everest, but lighter and more compact.

I got this at the Prime Deal Days price and it is a fantastic value.

This little stove works fantastic. It was easy to light and took only a few minutes to heat water for anything we needed it for. We used it while camping for 4 days and we loved it. But just some advice make sure its on a level surface. The 1st time I tried it my frypan slipped off the burner and dented it. But the stove worked so well after that I still can't dock it even 1 star. My husband was so impressed with how strong the burner flame was that he convinced me that the entire fry pan debacle was user error. And once we moved the stove we never had another issue. This little stove folds up compact and easy to pack in our camping tub. Its easy to clean and easy to start. It provided enough hot water for 2 very hot showers in about 5 minutes. I can't say enough good things about it and I w ould absolutly recommend it.

Seemed like a solid unit. Was compact, light, and easy to set up.

The unit boiled about 1 liter of water in 4 minutes. However only one of the burners would lite and function, no matter how many tries it took, the other burner did not lite.

The heat out put on the one burner was great.

If both of the stove burners would operate, this unit could be a 5 star winner.

The only thing I would critique about this stove is that the grill has steel plates at the corners which hold the cookware. I think the cooking surface would be more stable with some cookware without these small plates. Otherwise, it was easy to set up and worked perfectly. The windbreak also worked well. Compared to the typical suitcase-style of two burner camping stove, this one is 100% as functional, but in a more portable size when folded.

I'm in my 60's, been camping with Mrs Aloha Friday for almost 30 years, and this is our first camp stove! We have had many portable grills and hibachis, but no stove. I usually just grill so Mrs AF can take a break from cooking, but we've always thought it would be a more complete cookout experience if we could at least make breakfast on a stove. So, here was our opportunity!

I'm not going to rehash everything other reviewers have said; they're all thorough as is the company's description. I'll just point out anything that stood out in cooking with it at our favorite camping spot.

Our experience would have been a little better had we read the other reviewer's comment about having to pull slightly on the knobs as you turn them to adjust the heat. There were no instructions on that, so we can only agree that this is a defect. We can see others also having trouble with not getting a good heat output, and assume they're having the same trouble. In our photos you can see we were unable to get that big explosion of blue flame. After reading that review, and eating our grilled cheese sandwiches, we tried this trick to get the flames to jump, and jump they did! WHOA! Did it ever produce heat! Our grilled cheeses were cooked on high, taking about 5 minutes per side. Had we known this trick, they would have been done in 2 minutes total! That bugger was HOT! :o)

We used an 8" frying pan with our grilled cheese, and the heat was relatively even. I don't know that you'd achieve the same results with a 12" frying pan full of cheese toasties. I think the edges would have a hard time cooking, as the heat is concentrated in the middle.

It's VERY strong and sturdy. You pop out the grates after removing it from the storage bag, flip them over and push them back into place. You'll hear a little click sound. The clasp to open and close the unit is nice and firm. It will hold your grill tightly closed if you ever want to carry it somewhere.

The wind shield blew away...LOL I mean it blew over; I was able to retrieve it. It has metal loops at the bottom, but I have no idea what I'd attach them too.

The look is rugged and masculine; anyone would be proud to have this piece.

After cooking, the metal grates were discolored from the heat. You're camping, it's okay!

You'll hear a crackling sound after turning the heat off as the hardware cools. Totally fine.

Can't wait to use it again, but wish there were instructions for this or the company would do a better job with the knobs so it isn't necessary. You can't pull too hard or the knobs come off. Definitely needs a better delivery system.

I replaced my 1976 Coleman 2-burner stove with this one. It's compact, easy to set up, and the burners put out a whole lot of heat (water boils fast). My camping pans & pots fit nicely and are secure on the burners. I really like this stove!

Nice stove , at first I had trouble with the electronic ignition, but now it works fine. I think it was me. I love this stove.

Looks great out of the box. Stove is powerful and puts out a lot of heat. Couple of issues. First, the gauge for regulating burner output is tricky. This has been noted in other reviews where pulling outward a bit will get the max burner output. This is something that can be worked around but isn't inspiring a lot of confidence in the durability. Second, sometimes one or more of the burners (each side has 5 burners) won't light up even though it's neighbors are burning. Putting them out and relighting has fixed this, sometimes requiring to do this several times before all the burners are going.

J'ai été ravi quand j'ai reçu ce réchaud de camping le bon format très beau modèle de la place pour mettre deux chaudrons de 11 et 12 pouces malheureusement je ne sais pas si c'est parce que le tuyau pour amener le gaz au réchaud est peut-être trop long il n'y a pas de pression et ça ne fait que mijoter je suis déçu car je le trouvais vraiment de mon goût
