Re: New Camp Stove
well, TIME MARCHES ON ..... in looking back over the 3+ years since we switched to a Bass Pro Shops 3-Burner High Output Propane Stove, its been in the camper's basement every second that its not been in use .... its also not been used very often .... it is bulky and requires taking along an extension propane hose .... a significant related change has also taken place .... that being switching from a propane burning grill to an electric, pellet burning grill/smoker .... for cooking inside our camper our OEM 3 burner propane stove/oven is still heavily used as is a NuWave PIC Gold 1500W Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner ===> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O5 ... UTF8&psc=1 .... my wife has converted almost all of her cooking pots and pans to those that work with the NuWave .... in the last couple of years I've cooked outside on it considerably more often than I have on our propane stove .... we've just ordered another NuWave like the one in the link above .... it will be used at home and the one it replaces will be moved to the camper .... where it will become my standard one used for outdoor cooking .... for the times more than one cooking eye is needed, the one kept on the camper's kitchen counter will be moved outside .... with the vast majority of our cooking using electricity, our camper's propane supply should last longer .... another side benefit is freeing up storage space in the camper's basement

Re: New Camp Stove
Resurrection ....
well, our absolute and final (subject to change at any second) decision to retire our Bass Pro Shops 3-Burner High Output Propane Stove https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pr ... pane-stove has been rescinded .... the negatives that motivated us to move it from active service to an honorable retirement all still apply .... as do its positives .... our decision to move to a NuWave induction style cook top is still our primary focus .... while it has proven to do a really good job, as with most any item, it does have some negatives .... among them are
1 ... it can only handle one pot/pan at a time
2 ... it will only work with pans that have a bottom a magnet will stick to
3 ... because can't handle exposure to rain, it cannot be left out when not in use
the fact that it burns CG electricity and not our propane strongly motivates us to use the NuWave as much as possible .... today I used it for the first time with a 1 lb and I learned that burning one of the higher powered burners on high can freeze the propane in the bottle

Re: New Camp Stove
UPDATE :
over the years we've used propane, gasoline, electric, alcohol, Coleman fuel and even charcoal burning cooktops all have positives and all have negatives .... a half dozen or so years ago we added using NuWave cooktops .... as noted in multiple post in this thread, they require the use of magnetic pots, pans, griddles, whatever you use to cook in .... as such, cast iron works well ..... over this past weekend I fried some burgers on a coated, cast Iron griddle like the one below ..... ordered it from Amazon ===> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C2C0OYG?psc=1& ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details .... haven't used it yet but am looking forward to doing so .... our hope is through using it in connection with the grate in our Ninga grill and our electric griddle we will be able to cook for a considerably larger number of folks while traveling

Re: New Camp Stove
last night Maureen used our NUWAVE Cast Iron Grill (link in a post above) for the first time .... to do so she grilled inch+ thick pork chops hand cut from a pork loin purchased at Sam's .... they turned out really good .... true she could have used a pan to fry them on the same NuWave Induction Cook Top .... the difference she really likes in using the grill is the food doesn't sit in grease while cooking .... as advertised, the grill proved to be very easy to clean
