Would fit perfect on my fold down camp table. I’ve never used white gas, I’m gonna watch some YouTube videos. Let me know what you want for it.
 
Thanks for all the input folks. This is very helpful. I am now even more confused than before, but I have learned about a lot of new options. I thought I would just buy something, but I think I'm going to think about this more.

@Quantumkiwi Interesting temp info, thank you. My goal is generally just not to be out if it's that cold, but somehow it seems to happen more than I'd like!

@Poupon your induction setup sounds very cool, I wish I had that much power available!

@LX450JC I am intrigued by the griddle. I think I still want to be able to use pans though. I'll have to think about this.

@89BIGBLUE I had no idea these existed - have you used them? Do they work well?

@Mauser very cool! Does that single burner put out a good amount of heat for the disc? Can you cook steaks/burgers on these things or do they only get hot in the center?
Also I saw you the other day in your 100 in Tijeras.


The stove I have now is a 425E. It's a little on the small side when I'm cooking, but my main complaint is really just that messing with the white gas is annoying, and setting it up/tearing it down has more steps than I would like (it's also hard to clean). I'd like to get something set up with one of those 5 lb or 10 lb tanks where I just have to twist a knob and press a Piezo igniter. Ideally the whole rig is mounted to one of my swingouts so there is literally no setup - still trying to figure out the best way to do that.

Picture from a sub 20 degree night in Grand Staircase Escalante last thanksgiving. Perhaps not making a great case that I want propane with this picture though :)

I'm not too sure how well the little thing cooks because I built it for someone else, but he did send me a picture of his breakfast.

Not sure if you have seen this one yet. Quick and dirty grill. My son and I built it out of scrap and parts from an old gas grill the night before a camping trip to Sumner Lake after learning they had fire restrictions. Great grill and have used it to make coffee in a percolator.

Made a griddle for the top before another trip so the kids could have pancakes and bacon.

I've seen this thing in action and it's quite nice!!!

How about $45+a chicharrons burrito for the stove, funnel, red bottle of fuel, and a half gallon of liquid fuel?

Oddly specific but done!
 
I'll bring it to the breakfast this sat, perfect time for a burrito.
 
Hi all,

I’d like to get a larger propane camp stove. I have been using an older Coleman white gas stove that was my dad’s back in the day, but it’s a bit of a hassle. Does anyone have a recommendation for a stove that fits a 12” pan and a smaller pot comfortably? I’ve looked at the Partner Steel stoves but just can’t justify the cost.

How do the propane stoves work at higher altitudes? I’ve heard they can struggle.

TIA!

I bought one of these, actually got it on eBay (unboxed but never used) for like 100 bucks. It is sweet!

Yes, the propane conversion generators work well. (I prefer the white gas, personally. )
I got one in a 413 stove at a thrift store, and tried it out with a new small bottle of propane.
 
I've got a camp chef pro 90x which has 3x 30k btu burners and a 16"x38" cook space and I love it. Believe it or not it's great on gas and I routinely run an artisan pizza oven and large griddle over two of the burners. There's nothing like having a pro kitchen in the backcountry.
