Camp Chef EX60LW Explorer 2 Burner Outdoor Camping Modular Cooking Stove

Well...very easy to put together.I had to buy the griddle,stove and bbq box separately but it was pretty close to the price of the tailgaiter model so don't wait ...2 days delivery all 3..Griddle is kinda seasoned I didn't do much but spray it down after sitting in the sun with some some.pam.. Wipe it down good a few times it'll be alright ....it's cast iron not rocket science...burners take some getting used to they go.out if your not watching...that's not unusual....I basically took this out of the box and 15 minutes later I was making bacon,brats and a baked potato...baked beans in the bbq box...I dont have an issue with the legs being uneven it sits in stone just wiggle it a bit.The hole in the griddle for grease to drain is in the left front corner...unless you tilt that way it will not drain...the back of the 14" griddle has a large trough catches all the grease from.the bacon I fried .. It's very easy to soak.it up.with a couple paper towels ....the hole in the front left just seems awkward I like the grease going toward the back leaves the food less oily.1 # of bacon is mostly grease .Just soak.it up.im the back and toss it in the trash what you dont want.Dont be getting all fancy with this thing it's a big ass propane stove you can use your own griddle ..cast iron skillets...pots and pans ...you can heat up the griddle and put pots pans and skillets on it.Mark the knobs might help to know where 350 degrees ....nothing below that cooks well ....that's the minimum...the bbq box is great for keeping stuff hot and made some awesome beans and a baked potato.Lot of folks complain about the wind guard but I have not got that issue.It is hard to see the burner to light it when you are set up...get the long lighter you hafta bend over and look from below if you have your griddle and bbq box on Pain in the ass. My only complaint I saw some videos of these with people using an infrared heat sensor to see what the temp.was....don't get silly it's a skillet and a oven in the simplest form if you can cook .....if you are you looking for a pretty basic stove that can don't all I'd say get this.one...No doubt I haven't used it much but after one time I find it to be durable and pretty well made... The bbq box is pretty awesome it is like a home oven and has a nice thermometer built in..actually quite a heavy item. You can use your own skillets..pots .pans with just the stove but the bbq box and 14" griddle are very nice....still working on the bbq box as far as what to cook...making baked potatos. .Like I said don't get too fancy with this thing. .it is a bad ass outdoor propane stove you can do anything with if you can cook .I bought the bbq box..14" griddle and the stove itself for 357$. ..camp chef did not have the tailgater which is the same 3 items...but seriously..if you have a propane tank you be 5 minutes and this thing is cookin...Definitely get the grill box...I give this thing thumbs up first day using it ....put it together 5 minutes....watch the flame 🔥 it goes up and down....go to harbor freight get some magnetic hangers hold yer stuff on the side for 3$.Definitely get the bbq box....u can use your own skillets and griddle and pots and pans..get the box...good stuff 😀 👍 .

I purchased this for multiple purposes but one of the main purposes was to use with a pressure canner and in water bath canning. While the manufacturer cautions against using with a pressure canner, I have found that in keeping the flame at the lowest setting and using plenty of water in the canner that it is working fine. But you should use caution and experiment to make sure that you can lower the heat enough for your canner to go through the process without running out of water. It is plenty strong enough to hold two pressure canners or two water bath canners at once. The flame can be turned up high to get things up to temp and the turned way do to maintain the proper temp and conserve propane. When cranked up on full blast it has very hot and powerful flame. Use caution! The whole thing can be easily picked up and moved by one person and really doesn't take up much space even fully assembled. I am really liking it so far and it appears to be well made and durable. I will say that I was a bit surprised to see a thin film of rust inside the legs but is not enough to affect function and is not visible once assembled. Read more

I couldn’t be happier with my Camp Chef two burner propane stove. The build quality is solid and feels like it’s built to last. Both burners put out plenty of heat, and I love that they’re independently adjustable—it makes it easy to simmer on one side while boiling or grilling on the other. Setup is quick and simple, and it’s sturdy enough to handle heavier pots and pans without wobbling. What really impressed me is how versatile it is. I’ve used it for camping, backyard cookouts, and even as a backup for outdoor cooking at home. Cleanup is straightforward, and the propane connection is reliable with no leaks or fuss. Overall, it’s a powerful, dependable, and well-designed stove that makes outdoor cooking a breeze. If you want something that combines portability with real cooking power, this is the way to go.
