For when you want to start cooking as soon as you get to your campsite. The Camp Chef Explorer 2-Burner Grill includes: Two 30,000 BTU cast-aluminum burners, 3-sided windscreen, adjustable heat control dials, removable/adjustable legs for portability and storage, regulator and 3ft. long hose for use with a bulk propane tank.

Good quality. Could use a few minor improvements. We purchased this for food canning, and for backup during our typical winter power outages. And I think it would be great for cooking up those pungent foods when you don’t want to stink up the house!Overall the build quality and heat output are very good. It has more than enough burner capacity to boil a 33 quart canner in 60 F. weather. Very stable. Keeping the humidity out of the house is a huge plus.I have two suggestions for Camp Chef.1) The front, center and angled down location of the MIP fitting (for hooking up the hose to the propane tank)is in about the most awkward location it could be. Users are typically going to have the tank to the side or rear, so a fitting location aimed in that direction makes sense.

Perfect for car camping, tailgating, or just grilling outside. I’ve really enjoyed using this product. The price for the stove is not all inclusive for maximum enjoyment. In addition to the stove, you’ll also need to purchase a propane tank. I’d also recommend the cast-iron griddle/grill plates designed to fit on the stove. You probably only need one, but if you want two they’ll cost you about $20 a piece.You can probably use standard cookware as you would on an oven range, but I’ve only used cast-iron cookware on the stove. If you have more expensive cookware, you may want to consider investing in a diffuser plate as the stove flame can be very hot! I haven’t done so yet, but you also may want to consider installing the igniter which I believe costs $5-10 per burner. I also purchased the Camp Chef bag for transporting the stove. Even while in the bag, the stove is very heavy and not fun to carry around. Like I said in the title, this is a perfect stove to take camping if you’re in a car and don’t have to carry it far. For…
