Get a cast iron combo grill/griddle. Can use it over the campfire or on the propane stove.

Primes, Coleman, camp chef,... used 'em all.
They are low tech, and virtually identical,.. suggest you select on price.

I hit mine with a swipe of canola oil when heated up and before grilling, easier to get food off when cooked

Most definitely.... on the list for my trip to San Diego end of May.... probably a dutch oven, too.

I have used a "Partner's Stove" made for river running; indestructible, comes with its' own stand, and also comes with a 'blaster'..... combination propane burner and jet engine on its' own propane lead. The blaster can boil an extra-large cowboy coffee pot in less than 5 minutes, and turn a dutch oven into rubbish if you're not careful (blackened catfish was my specialty). Highly recommended. 4-burner. Have used it from The Salmon and Snake, the Colorado/Green rivers, and Baja. Still as good as new. Research the company, they're the real deal. Also have 2-burners as well, but better to have and not need than need and not have, que no? Happy cooking.

Thanks, kind of what I am concluding.... I do like the 4 burner suggest above.... looks really functional and well built.


4 burners for one family car camping? If I need a 4 burner stove, I will stay home!

On car camping trips requiring cooking for double-digit crowds, we bring multiple stoves.

Those deep stove cavities are hard to clean. I prefer the stoves w/o recessed areas.

Clean?

$295? Looks like the Coleman he gave away. I found a clean 2-burner Coleman at the thrift store a couple months ago - $12.00. If I need a third burner, I always have a backpacking stove. You can get them for $8.00 from China. I have two - they work great.

We, my boys and I, seem to have accumulated 1-2-3 and 4 burner stoves, cast iron all. The 4 burner is the least useful and the hardest to regulate . A couple of one burners in a large camp are really handy to keep things hot away from the main cook area make coffee etc...2-3 burners get the most use. I think we have about 7 stoves all told...Most the garden variety Cabelas type...All useful for different reasons and size camps...lotsa fun trying to decide...

We had a Camp Chef two burner in Bahia. Tulo saw it and bartered it away from me for some work. Haven't replaced it yet but that sucker put out some heat!

chuckie - 4-28-2017 at 08:22 AM

The Camp Chef "Grill Box" is a must have...

I like the idea of a 2 burner "main" stove and one or two single burners. A lot of flexibility with that setup

When I competed frequently in the chili circuit, I always used three of the single burner Chinese propane stoves. They use the soda-can sized propane bottles, and burn very hot. I still use one of them for making bananas foster table-side.
