Camp stove

[neil]

I have and carry when needed several backpacking stoves, never really need more than that. Personally I don't have space for a propane bottle and 2 burner. I have one, just don't think I have ever used it other than cooking for a church fundraiser.

Maybe, if I need to boil crawfish or something.

Old school Coleman for me. Also bring my backpacking pocket rocket for coffee.

If you have extra money and want a stove that will last your lifetime and probably your kids, check out the Cook Partner stoves. Plus they are made in the US.

I have an old (20+ yr old) coleman 2 burner that is 100% reliable.

I also upgraded and bought a Partner Steel 2 burner.

They're both propane so they both do the same thing. At the same temperature.

One is Wal-Mart, one is Nordstrom. Nothing wrong with either one. I only bought the Partner Steel stove because it was used. They're $$$.

A coleman 2 burner sounds about right for your use case! Those things last forever typically.

As an avid camper, I’ll second all of this. A basic Coleman will last forever and performs just as well as any other one. I have many friends who brought crazy fancy ones and all of them have wished they just went with the Coleman.

I’m still debating on what to get but leaning towards a Blackstone or Pitboss griddle, it won’t get used often and seems pretty compact

What cookware are you guys using? I find that decision more difficult than the actual stove haha

I started with a Cast Iron Skillet, and a Cast Iron Dutch Oven.

I moved to a Skottle, or Disco, or Discada. Whatever you want to call it, made by Oris. https://skottle.com/

You could have that thing and just that thing and cook on it and need nothing else.

They're actually pretty great.

I also have a portable fire pit, made by Flatpit https://www.flatpit.com/ , for if I want to cook on a open flame, or just have a fire.

I went with a TemboTusk Skottle because I wanted a lightweight, all-in-one-as-possible cooking solution, in a relatively small space since I have a 2 door and dont want to tote the grill, pots, pans, lids, etc, can just throw everything in the skottle, and I'm very pleased with it so far.

However, you definitely pay a premium for that lightweight all-in-one convenience. After I got my skottle I learned about this skottle that @Geos7812 on the forums here makes, and seems to accomplish all the same stuff for almost half the cost, so you might take a look at that if you were interested in going a skottle route.

Cargo space inside the Jeep is always a premium so I the pick the most compact design of anything. In terms of stove the Jetboil system is absolutely my favorite, clam-shell design and the most compact stove+pot all-in-one system on the market. And you don't need to buy a sepereate grill for most cases, I just slap a cast-iron griddle pan on top and does the job.

That basecamp setup is pretty nice, what griddle are you using?

Something similar to this, I actually like this one better because the handle is inside the griddle so it packs better.

Nice, thanks Jerry.

Depends on what I'm up to, but I carry either a 17 inch blackstone griddle with it's own table to cook on. That's great for bigger meals, or if I want to eat nice, or maybe multiday trips. But if I'm just out jeeping, fishing, maybe camping a night or two I often just carry my jetboil and some mountain house meals. I like how little room it takes up, how quick and easy it is to make a meal, the limited mess/dishes it makes. Just overall super handy for when cooking/eating is not a major goal. I do have the pot support for my jet boil and I carry a little fry pan I can use on that so if I want to cook small amounts of real food I can. So like when I'm camping I may carry a little bit of oil, and a baggie of flour/salt/pepper so I can fry up a brook trout if I want to.

I usually pack out differently depending on length and how many I am feeding. I have been using the cheap coleman 2 burner stove and non stick pot and pans for a while now. Finally looking to have a dedicated set of pots and pans than nestle together. Ideally I would have that and the skottle. I've seen the forum member and others DIY versions, still like the official version as they've done some refinements to compact the size (always paying more to save space! )
. Everything camping related is size conscious with the jeep haha
