Best Car Camping Stoves and Equipment

[71whitewesty]

I've been using the Origo alcohol stove for the last 20 years or so. First had it on my boat and now use it in the bus. I really like the size and that you don't have the propane bottles to deal with. No bottle to hang off the side so it easily fits on the fold out table in a westy. For me, this is the best of all.

I have an old large Coleman 413G, and this Sears 72301 (Coleman 425 rebranded) stove that I generally keep around for fishing trips and the occasional deep frying in the back yard. They work wonderfully. They are a little worn cosmetically but were both $5 each at a neighbor's garage sale and were an absolute steal at that price! I grew up doing a lot of hunting and camping, and love having my own to use with my kids. My son in particular loves when we bring them to our usual fishing spot at a local boat launch.

Camp Chef now makes Everest 2X, a much improved, very robust stove. Pricey at $190.
They also make Rainier model which has a burner on one side, and a griddle or grill on the opposite side. To me the griddle and grill seems small, I’d prefer bringing a griddle that covers both burners on a regular stove. Priced at $200, I’ll pass for now.
The white gas Coleman stoves and lanterns are selling for low prices right now.

Added on 10/2022:
I’m selling my Coleman collection.
I bought the Camp Chef Everest 2X, Rainier 2X, and stove/oven combo unit.
Very impressed by Everest 2X, it’s as good as they report. Cost me $107. NIB
Rainier 2X not so much. The grill/griddle is small, and very lightweight. I doubt it will stand up to severe use. Cost me $140.NIB
Oven/stove combo came with a solid griddle, everything very well made. Cost me $150, new in the box.

My Chinese “pizza oven” caught on fire first time I used it, what a POS! Seems it’s coated with regular paint, not high temperature paint. My friends thought this was hilarious….

Anyone try a discada or cowboy wok yet? I’m looking for a real life review. I’m not trusting YouTube reviews on this.

Yep, that’s the one. Made from a plow disk.
