Stansport Propane Stove

Haven't ever had a good camping stove before, just those little single pot burners but now I know what I was missing! This camping stove is easy to set up and use, weighs a little less than I thought it would and looks great. The metal grills held up even under very high heat. Pretty good on fuel consumption as well. Cooked every meal on it for a three day camping trip and barely had to tap the second small tank. At high this thing really cranks out the heat! Boiled water very quickly in our small camping kettle which made getting that first morning coffee a quick and easy process. Metal clasps keep everything nice and secure, but wrap the tank connector in a cloth if you're storing it inside the stove or it will make a racket and could get damaged.Downsides: Heat control was a little fiddly but if you just keep an eye on it and turn the knobs very slowly you shouldn't have a problem getting the flame you want. The starter for the middle burner never worked but was easy to fire up with a bbq lighter or match. Was a little tougher to clean than I hoped it would be, but that's probably on me because I wasn't very good at cleaning between uses while camping so things got pretty baked on.Very happy with this purchase!

was able to try out our new stove this weekend and i have to say i was impressed, it's not the lightest weight but given it's size and 3 burners i wasn't expecting that or even caring as we are using it for our small flagstaff e-pro 12rkthe overall construction is the stove is good and it "feels solid" the 2 locking hasps on the front are spring loaded which ensures they stay closed when they are supposed to and they stay our of your way when the stove is open, seems like a small thing but is a very nice touchthe wind blockers on the side take a bit to get attached to the lid properly but we are talking about 3 different part of sheet metal and a bit of fiddle factor is to be expectednow on the main reason a person gets a stove, the burners and their abilities, this stove puts out some heat! it boiled 8 cups of water in no time and that was with the burner only at about half, it also fried up some sausage and eggs with the ability to do it on low tempertature as to cook the sausage all the way through without burning them at all, i have yet to do a long half hour simmer but given what i have seen i don't think it will be any problem at allall 3 of the burners lit easily, the 2 outside burners you can see the piezo starter, on the center burner i thought maybe you had to use a match or something since you can't see the starter but i turned the gas on and turned the igniter and it fired right up, obviously it is below the burner and just not visiblethere is one thing that is minor but seems a bit counter intuitive to the stove you turn the burners to the left to start the gas but the piezo ingniton to the right, the first time i went to start the stove i wanted to turn the starter to the left also, just seems a bit backyard, there are arrows on the started telling you what direction to turn it though for me it would be nice it they all turned the same directionone other thing i really like and looking at the pictures i couldn't really tell how it worked was the grate your pots and pans sit on, i hoped that they would be 3 separate grates but looking at the pics i thought it would be 1 solid grate, luckily i was wrong and they are 3 separate pieces which makes cleaning it very easy and i can see some application where being able to remove just one will be helpfuli did buy the flexible gas line hose for it, the table it sits on hangs off the side of our camper and the solid line that comes with it faces the rear and would cause the front of the stove to hang off our small table which wouldn't work, the flexible hose allow you to put your 1lb propane tank where everoverall i am very happy with this stove and wouldn't hesitate to tell and friends or family to buy the same one

Super hot burners , well made

Here are four things to consider when choosing a new camp stove. They're all elevated about an inch from the table beneath it. They stand on 4 short rubber legs. This means there isn't much friction between the stove and the table, so it moves easily. There are two types of igniter switches; a knob that rotates, like the one on this stove, and a push button. For the initial lighting, it's easy with the push button to hold the back of the stove while you push the button (necessary so the stove doesn't slide back when you push the button on the front). If your flame blows out, or you need to change propane canisters, the stove will be hot, so you'll have to figure out how to hold the stove to keep it from sliding back without burning yourself. Obviously the rotary knob like the one on this stove is much better than any push button igniter.Another consideration is heat output from the burners. Who wants to wait half an for coffee to perk? It's easy to turn high output burners like these down, but there's nothing you can do to get more heat out of underpowered burners. This stove has 3 burners, which provide for precise temperature control across the bottom of your griddle.A 3rd thing to consider is how the lid connects to the stove when it's all shut up. Some stoves have one latch in the middle, some have two plastic latches. This stove has two fairly substantial latches, the kind that seem appropriate for this application. If you've ever had a latch break on a stove, and had to secure it with bungees, tape, or whatever, you'll never buy another stove without considering the latches.Last but not least, this stove is very cool! Not your grand dad's green gas stove. It's blue, black and silver and it's the coolest looking camp stove I've seen. I think this is my 5th camp stove over the decades, and I like it better than any of the others I've had.

Gas rings work really well and the device arrived on time..Some parts were slightly dented, but that could have happened in the mail. As it is only made of thin metal so that's understandable. If you want something heavy go somewhere else, for my hubby and I it will do just fine. Most impressive, one call to the company about the dent and they sent a new replacement without any hassle. Thats rare these days.
