Nice try, but needs more work
Just picked the stove up today at REI and already plan to return it for a refund. Perhaps I had my hopes up too much for a reasonably-priced, all-aluminum, sturdy camp stove. With this newly-released stove Camp-Chef has tried, but not tried hard enough, to challenge the Partner brand outfitter stoves that have always set the high price/quality standard for aluminum camp stoves. Both design and production of this stove need to be improved before it reflects the manufacturer’s reputation for design and construction. I will try to upload a photo that shows the sloppy welding that was used to build the stove. Aluminum is difficult to weld, we all understand, but at this price (well over $200), one expects better. Look for another picture showing how Camp-Chef saved a few pennies by not riveting a real handle to the stove. Instead, there’s a fist-sized hole punched into the bottom of the stove. You're supposed to put your hand in the hole to move the stove. Just be careful, because you'll be sticking your fingers into the hot/messy innards of the stove (although that big hole in the bottom did allow most of that stovey mess to dribble onto the table top while you were cooking). And notice in the photos how the raw edges of the hand-hold are not only unfinishingly sharp, but they have teeth, too! Be sure you prop the lid up if you ever need to fold the stove lid back while cooking (say, you're using a griddle that's wider than the stove). There's no support for the lid. It just suspends itself by torquing the hinge that attaches the lid to the stove body. Not so good. Even my old green Coleman stove had a "towel rack" that doubled as a lid support. Finally, it’s too darn hard to turn the sparker knob that lights the burners. I appreciate that they’re recessed, like the valve controls, to avoid damage. But the sparker knob is VERY hard to turn and you can only squeeze two fingers into the opening to turn it. If you have any stiffness in you fingers at all, you’ll be unhappy. Thanks to Camp-Chef for entering this all-aluminum camp stove market. Still, this stove is Version 0.9 of what it should be. CC should address the concerns of early buyers and make this stove a true competitor.
Impressive output.
I just received my stove and and I'm impressed. It's big and sturdy and built to last. Not only does this stove kick out some serious BTU's, it will also simmer. On one burner I boiled a large pot of water in less time that it would have taken to on my kitchen range, while on the other I made bacon in a cast iron skillet. The drawback of many camp stoves with decent output is their inability to simmer, it's either boil or burn. I just ordered the SSL-24 leg set that will work with it. The rumor is that there will be a model specific aluminum leg set with built in levelers available later this year.
Light weight for its size
I got the Mountaineer as a light weight replacement for a Weekender 2 burner. The Aluminum on the Mountaineer can be dented or torqued a bit, if loaded in the raft on it's own, but is easily fixed if needed. A trade off for the weight. I keep it inside a Drybox and it's fine. Partner stoves do not have this problem. We use these on multiday raft trips and they both work well. For large trips we take both. If I'm only taking one, I will take the Mountaineer because of its weight and slightly smaller size.
Light weight
Got this last fall and have used this stove for camping mostly while rafting. It is really nice and light. At this price point I really wish the legs and bag were included. But sadly they were not also a bummer to point out, is how sharp all the edges are. My first use of the grill was when we grilled out on “the Beach” at A-basin. I must have cut myself 3 or 4 times. So had to go buy a file set to make this more friendly. Seems to simmer nicely and boil not taking to long.
Near Ideal
I have had my stove for four months and love it. It cooks superbly, both on high, remember 20,000 BTUs for each burner, and on a simmer. It is lightweight for its size but quite solid too. It folds up well, though the snaps can be a bit tricky, and cleans easily. Minor complaints include: at this price range I would expect a storage/carrying bag to be included especially since there is no handle with which to tote it around.
almost 5 stars ...
With high country sites on our next trip, I decided to take the stove up a notch. Not only did I want high output burners, I also wanted fuel capacity to match, but with a small footprint. We purchased two 5 pound bottles to go with this stove; perfect! Boiling water in a minute, room for two large pans, easy adjustments for low simmer.
Good Stove
I bought this stove for my husband. He was looking for a durable stove, he likes it and I am sure he will put it to the ultimate test with all his outdoor adventures. The item shipped fast and was packaged well. It also looks just as good in person as it does in the picture for aluminium stove .
the Best
I have had my Mountaineer for four+ months and love it! It is very well made, it simmers well and it will go high just as well. My only little complaint is the lack of a handle to carrry it with - especially since a bag was not included. Though a bit spendy it performs superbly!
Great stove
I have an older model of this same stove ( 15+ YO) and it has worked great. I have used it on numerous camping and river trips. The BTU output is great and heats hot water in chicky pails quickly. Would recommend to anyone forease of use, durability, easy to store and clean up.
Been a workhorse!
We are outfitters in Oregon and just financed a second season with the Mountaineer2. It, after about 185 meals and countless miles down the rivers, is still going strong. I want to order another (out of stock...) as replacement when the old one keels over. Please make more! ASAP.
