Camp Stove

[Johickery]

Looking to pick up a good quality 2 burner camping stove and as a backup SHTF stove. I know Colemans are the defacto standard and I was wanting a dual fuel model because I already have a Coleman dual fuel lantern (285 series) and single burner stove (533) but to be honest, I just don't care for the Coleman dual fuel camp stoves. They seem big, bulky, heavy and yet not very well made. I also looked at their propane stoves but they don't seem as well made as their old ones?
I did however recently come across the Primus 2 burner camp stove and they seem to be pretty well built? I know in general Primus has a good rep but I'm not sure about their camp stove line? Also, Primus's web site only shows the Profile series but online I also see an "Alti" model that looks similar? Is the Alti model just a older version of the Profile model?
Any other brands\models I should be looking at?

If your truck is a Powerboost you should look at Induction stoves. Cook in a hurricane, no wind issues.

I have a Coleman 2 burner camp stove. Bought it about 17 years ago brand new. It's never given me any issues everytime I've pulled it out. It has a piezo electric ignitor. Cooked plenty of bacon, eggs and pancakes on it.

Honestly the design of a propane campstove is so simple there isn't much to go wrong with them, unless you abuse them during transport. But I store it with the original box.

I have had good luck with Camp Chef. Also check out kovea stoves

Had the same Coleman stove since 1982. Used it throughout North America. Did a propane conversion which is just swapping out the tank with a gas connection tube and valve. No modification to the stove. Store the tank in the stove with the propane connection. If I was buying new I would get a dual fuel or one that runs on gasoline.

I've been a Dweller camping pellet stove fan for years, and I recommend their camping pellet stove enough. I have the Profile Dual Fuel, and it's the perfect balance of quality, performance, and versatility. It's lightweight enough for backpacking, boils water like a champ, and handles wind like a pro. Plus, the dual fuel capability gives me peace of mind knowing I can always find fuel, even in remote areas.

I also have a Coleman 2 burner. Mine was inherited and is from the 70’s. I have even abused mine in transport ( forgot to close my tailgate and it fell out). Despite a few dents and broken latch it still works perfectly fine.

I always just make a fire on the ground with a grate overtop. Lighter, easier to clean, cheaper, takes up less space, and of course cooks very quickly.

When traveling with our trailer we use a Blackstone 22". When trying to pack a little lighter and car/truck camping we use a weber q1200, on this I did switch out one of the grills for a griddle (available on amazon). Planning on doing a 5 day hike this summer so did picked up a FireMaple Polaris burner recently, haven't tested it out yet.
