New Camp Chef Everest 2 Burner Stove

[Salue]

I might try this stove since it's the same size as their regular Mountain Series stoves but the burners are 20k btu's each. Just wondering if anyone on here has this and what your thoughts are. It's new this season so I didn't find too many actual reviews of it online.

Very similar to my Denali I bought last year minus the grille in the middle, looks nice.

I have no experience with Camp Chef, but here is the stove I bought a couple of years ago. Each burner is 25K btu, and I believe it was $59.99 on sale at a local store. I have been very happy with it. It puts out a LOT of heat.

My neighbor has a Camp Chef that gets used regularly for the last 7 years and it still works like new, worth every penny if you have the room.

Finally had a chance to take a look at one up close. The burner seems nice enough, I'm just not impressed with the body of the stove. It seems so flimsy and the thin (aluminum) panels look like they would be easily dented. Even the display model has a couple of dents on it already. It appears that most other brands are made of this thin material as well. Maybe I got used to my Brinkmann stove I bought years ago from Costco. The metal on it is so thick compared to the others. Unfortunately, I don't see my current Brinkmann stove on their site.....And there's nothing wrong with my current stove, it's just a little bigger than most 2 burner stoves and wanted to see smaller alternatives. But for now, I guess I'll stick with my Brinkmann. I'd rather keep a reliable, sturdy stove than risk it with a smaller flimsy one.

I'll have to check into that Stansport you linked Jim.

If size is a concern, and your Brinkmann is too large, you probably won't like the Stansport. I have a stainless steel Brinkmann that I like a lot, and the Stansport is somewhat larger. The reason I bought the Stansport was for the 25K btu burners. This thing puts out more heat than the gas range in my kitchen at home. I think the Brinkmann has 10K btu burners. It's not that 10K won't do the job, but it takes longer. I guess I'm just a bit impatient. When I'm hungry, I want to eat NOW.

Jim,
I finally had a chance to take a look at that Stansport...Not bad and 50,000 BTU's is crazy! Plus, it is smaller than my Brinkmann. The Stansport is 24"x14" whereas my Brinkmann is 27 1/2"x15"....Found a link to a pic/description of mine too: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c....aspx?a=190822 I really like the fact that the windscreen extends into place when the lid is opened. Why don't other stoves do this?

I don't know what part of the country you're in, but in my area one of our local chain stores currently has the Stansport on sale for $49.89. I'm not positive, but I think that may be less than I paid 2+ years ago.

You apparently have a different Brinkmann that I do. Mine is smaller than my Stansport.

Which chain is it? I would love to buy this grill but no local places near me sell it.

Thanks

Bi-Mart, in the northwest. They are based in Eugene, OR and have stores primarily in OR, with a few in WA and ID. I'm not sure how they do it, but their prices are sometimes lower than Wal-Mart.
