Camp Chef 2 Burner Propane Camping Stove

The Rainier stove is great! There is so much you can do with it between the stove top and the gridle; the possibilities are endless! It is exactly what I have been looking for and is perfect for all car camping adventures!

We enjoyed using our new Rainer 2X grill. It was easy to set up and use. It gets hot very quickly and needed to play with the controls a little to figure out the right flame level. Once we played with it and use to the controls, we had no problems with cooking our meals. Had no issues with the grill and the griddle, was to cook hot dogs, hamburgers, and pancakes. Worked great for a family of three for camping I took a Coleman grill along with us and landed up using the Rainer grill more than the Coleman grill. Plan on purchasing a Everest 2x in the future.

I read many reviews some good some bad. I spent 30 years in design so I understand manufacturing & assembly pretty well. All parts must have tolerances because nothing can be made perfectly. Parts can go together tight, louse or just right. back in the muscle car era the term Factory Freak (FF) was coined and represented a car that was much faster than identical cars off the assembly line. Statistics say that one out of 100,000 cars would by chance go together with perfect tolerances and end up balanced & blue printed and about 30% more horse power. Well my stove is a FF. All the parts fit perfectly, the flame controls have precise adjustment & allow simmering or intense heat. I made a frittata in a covered cast iron pan on the single burner which required extremely low flame. Those worried about having enough heat should refer to the review where the gentleman melted his grill. Aluminum melts at about 1200 degrees & that should be plenty of heat for most cooking tasks. The griddle & grill work great with surprisingly even heat across the entire surface. The stove cleans up easily even with drippings in the bottom. This stove is perfect for any cooking task. The only criticisms are: 1. the grill storage pocket in the bag is too tight; 2. It would be nice to have a place to stow the regulator tube; 3. Adjustable feet would be lovely. I plan to put rivnuts in the 4 holes in the bottom for screw in legs. All in all a great product. Plus you can always use it to cast aluminum figurines, just save your beverage cans.

I very like my new camp stove. It works great! And i very satisfied that it comes to me pretty quickly and i was able to use it in my long weekend camping at Memorial day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size for shore lunch and picnics. Will feed 4-6, not for game day tailgate for small crowd. Go get camp chefs big model and a 20 lbs propane tank if you're feeding a crowd.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't had a chance to use it. However, seems very well made and can't wait to use this car camping.

Perfect for frying up breakfast and heating coffee at the same time. The grill surface turned out to be about useless though- the drippings go straight under the burner and are a mess to clean up, and the grill burned right through after just a few uses. The flat griddle works great though.

Took this stove on our motorcycle trip to Alaska the summer of 2019. Cooked for two on it seven weeks straight. It was a good little stove for the trip. A couple of things. The single burner grill is too high so it took longer to heat up things. I took it off and turned it over to get my pots a little closer to the burner. When I buy a new one I'll grind the legs down to solve this problem. The bbq griddle is worthless, all the greases from the meat just went down into the stove and made a mess. We used it once before giving up on it. The flat top worked great for most stuff. With a little ingenuity and tin foil we were able to cook just about anything that gets fried or boiled. I also use it for hunting and fishing about 15-20 days per year. After two years it is needing to be replaced

Pro's: 1.Carry Bag 2.Grill and Griddle Plate - Yes, they are flimsy but functional - Just be patient and cook at a reasonably low temp and they won't warp much, and if they do they're flexible as are the tabs to secure it in the slots on the grill. 3. 10,000 BTU burner boils water quickly and pan fry's well and provides evenly distributed heat. 4. Performed exceptionally well in high winds coming off the San Juans down in southern Colorado (no flameouts at all) Cons: 1. The side wind panels do not fit into the slots on the grill very well at all, ended up securing them with some strong magnets I happened to have in my truck, worked! 2.There is no place for the grease to catch if you're cooking something a little fatty. I just lined the burner with foil which worked decent but cooking bacon got a little messy, if you want less mess cook Turkey bacon or leaner cuts of meat, if not you can still make it work with a little creative ingenuity and foil. 3. Fuel - Stop forcing people to use the green fuel canisters they are such a waste and cumbersome to deal with. You're an outdoor company maybe do your part in helping customers maintain a lower carbon footprint. Luckily, I have an adapter that I can hook up to the annoying canister arm that I can use on a 5lb propane tank but it's still pretty inconvenient having to hook it up that way. Overall I love its versatility and performance, just needs a few more improvements to be perfect.

I was a little disappointed in the quality. The wind shields don't fit well in the slots and the grill grate and giddle are too thin.
