    Comments about Century Matchless Grill and Stove:

    Great camp stove! We have taken ours for several camping trips as well as holiday BBQ's at the beach. We looked long and hard for a grill stove combo and couldn't be happier with our purchase. The stove uses both small and large tanks (with optional adapters) so we can cook for two or 10 easily. What else do you need to make potatoes and steak at the same time?! My only complaint is that the push button ignition isn't working anymore, but we've found other ways to light it that are fine.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Century Matchless Grill and Stove:

      I just got back from a 3 Day rafting trip on the Deschutes River Oregon. When Rafting, I'm definitely not a minimalist! I bought this stove wanting a bit more versatility from my usual Brunton hiking stove, but was a bit worried about the Power. I was pleasantly surprised when it started right and about roasted the skin right off some hot dogs before I realized I needed to turn it down! A buddy of mine brought pre-made casseroles in stiff foil casserole dish's you can get at the supermarket. I fit perfectly on the grill and cook evenly and efficiently. The push-button starter didn't do so well on the stove, but lighting it with a lighter took about 2 extra seconds! It packed right into a dry-Bag and was durable enough to be banged around on the raft down the rapids. It cooked for a group of 10 well and I can't wait to think up of some new gourmet meals for my next trip!

          Comments about Century Matchless Grill and Stove:

          I never thought I would be using this product in as many ways as I am. I live in a condo in Vegas. I cook more of my meals on this item than I do on the stove in my home. Why you say? 1)Because the stove im my house does not have a grill. 2) I hate cooking odors in my condo so I use it for almost everything on my patio outside. 3) Clean-up is so much easier than the sotve in my condo.4)My HOA does not allow charcoal barbeques on the patios. I keep the thing in my car and pull it out only when I need it. You never know where you are going to get unexpectedly stranded. It gets very cold at night in the Mohave. Haveing the capability to just make some warm food or boil water for safe drinking until help arrives is priceless. I'll never be without one in my car again.

          shoddy craftsmanship

              Comments about Century Matchless Grill and Stove:

              I bought this stove for a camping trip I'm going on this weekend. Unfortunately, I will never able to use the thing. Being the careful camper that I am, I took the stove out of the box for careful inspection prior to actually taking it on its first trip. Everything seemed fine until I tried to attach the grill to the stove - incorrect. The pegs on the bottom of the grill that are supposed to drop into pre-drilled holes were not aligned correctly, therefore, the grill would not drop all the way into it's designated holes, leaving it slanted and uneven. Naturally, this renders the grill useless, as I cannot and will not allow my hot dogs to slide off the grill and into the dirt.

              I'm taking this grill back and getting a Coleman. I took a risk on a brand I never heard of to save a few extra bucks and i'm paying the price for it now with my time and effort required to rectify the situation.

              Shoddy craftmanship from Great Century, don't buy.

              Comments about Century Matchless Grill and Stove:

              I ordered this product online and picked it up at the store. While using it the first time I realized that, although it worked ok, it wouldn't sit level and there were a couple of dents in it. The matchless lighter never worked. I returned it, and since I liked the grill itself, I ordered another one. The second one came with two feet unattached! There was no way to attach them, so I gave up and went with a Coleman. If you decide to purchase this product, inspect it thoroughly before leaving the store with it.

              Have a similar stove,works great for the park or where ever you don't mind the size. Good temp. control for eggs or simmering a pot of beans while you grill up some bacon,burgers,dogs,corn on the cob.
              My only complaint is greasy stuff fills up the small grease tray quickly and I tend to spill grease in the underside.
