Burners are independently adjustable so you can cook at 2 different temperatures at the same time
Piezo-ignition system sparks the burners to life without the need for matches
Lid and side panels provide a windscreen on blustery days; stainless-steel drip tray provides easy cleanup
Operates on a refillable bulk propane tank, not included; includes hose and regulator for connecting the stove to a refillable bulk propane tank

Comments about Century Matchless Ultra 2-Burner Stove:

I took a family camping trip through HWY 20 at Diablo lake and this stove was awesome. I wanted high BTU and quick cooking since we had 7 people to cook for but not take a bulki stove. This stove rocks. It was quick cooking for us and it cleaned nicely and very durable. Would highly recommend.

Comments about Century Matchless Ultra 2-Burner Stove:

After two seasons of use, I can say this is a poorly made stove that will let you down when you need it most. On several expeditions, I was unable to use it because no matter what I did, the gas would not get through to the burners. When I get home, it works perfectly. (Of course.) During a recent camping trip, we were unable to use it because the regulator began to leak. I could light the stove (which was also hit and miss most of the time), but did not want to risk blowing myself up because the regulator was leaking gas. An absolute piece of trash.

Best Uses

Comments about Century Matchless Ultra 2-Burner Stove:

I purchased this stove after seeing it had dual 20k BTU burners. I realized it was for bulk propane, but was hopeful that Century made an adapter hose to convert to the 1lb green canisters if needed. I emailed Century to ask about this. I finally received a response back 14 days later.

After several snotty and condescending emails, I still did not have an answer to if Century had a conversion. Apparently, their customer service cannot give you information based on the name of their product, and you need the exact model number to get anything from them... two weeks after the fact.

After informing them of my dissatisfaction, I let them know I would be returning this stove and purchasing one that had better customer service support. They didn't even bother to respond. I returned the stove and purchased a Camp Chef Everest. I have not been happier with it. If you are looking for a powerful car camping stove, check out Camp Chef's options.

Comments about Century Matchless Ultra 2-Burner Stove:

This stove has served me and occasionally large groups well for the last year, until the regulator sprung a leak. As another reviewer complained, the Century customer service are 100% inept - they had no ability to help me, and I finally tricked them into getting the company's engineer on the phone, who quickly sent me a new regulator with no cost to me. I have not had any other issues, and love how quiet the stove is - it's a church mouse compared to [@] stoves.

I bought this for a fishin' buddy for his 50th birthday. This thing kicks (I can't write behind properly)! When you are cooking for 12 people, you need something that's gonna boil the pasta water!
I'm buyin' one for another buddy that's gettin' old!

Overall it is cheaply made, the one I received had bent burners, the connection for the gas to the stove is sketchy at best, and the unit is not level. I am returning for something different
