Stove Stove

I'm interested in feedback about the Camp-Inn propane stove. Do most people use and like it? Or has an alternative stove proven useful?

I love all the info here!

 

Howdy Paige,
I LOVE it....

There is another discussion around here and to my surprise, people do use other things, like the Cobb or Volcano? Stove.

Admittedly, I discovered was was a "Stove Addict" in that I had some 13+ stoves all around, from the backpackers MSR Whisper Lite to and old, antique I guess now, gas stove/over, plus the 3 types of camp-Chef Jet Engine Blower stoves.. heheh but I love my stove on the camper. More than enough heat although it doesn't look like it, but he number of holes in the burnner make it hot. And, as you can see from my profile pic, it works for the "Flambe" meals too... heheh I have the singed eyebrows to prove it... LOL

But Love it...

 

What’s not to like about the Camp-Inn propane stove. If you are not careful it will burn water. Of course, you can always use it to make beer, which I believe it is used for. I think if you don’t want to pull out the cooler/refrigerator just so you can get to the stove, get a Jetboil like Jenn.

 

The stove is one of the favorite parts of our camper. I look forward to using it when we camp. Very easy to use. I vote "yes" as well!

 

Love mine too, and recently got a single Lodge grill-griddle plate rather than hauling my small propane grill around. Works great for that too. I have a couple of other options (for "just in case") with me, but haven't had to use them yet...in nearly 3 years. I love the easy of it, how it stows away, and the power. It is great.

 

Yah, same here I have the Cast Iron Griddle pan to use when I don't bring the BBQ for ease of packing.

Haven't figured out how to keep it seasoned properly and maybe can. Works real well on the stove top cause actually all we're really talking about the the heat source and amount of heat. Got the flat top-press? too, so I heat them both up put the meat/chicken on and the top on top of the meat.

Plenty of heat from the stove, have to turn it down.
While I do have the Charcoal habachi, I only use that for groups.. hard to lug around, with the charcoal etc... and pretty much a wasted for 10 min of cooking..

fun...

 

Beeswax! Great for seasoning any cast iron you use for cooking (with the exception of the stove). Just ask George...he made converts out of many of us cast iron users.

 

Another vote for the CI stove. Besides people are really impressed when they see it roll in and out of storage. Another "oh thats how they did that". Just be careful it you have a LARGE pot on it and the heat is to high the flames have no where to go but up the sides which can mark the back wall.

 

Yes for the stove it works great.

 

The best part about the CI stove, is the controls are very accurate. Every stove will cook on high, yet obtaining good control at a low flame setting can be difficult on many other products.

THe CI is capable of low flames. Wind blowing around the low flame is one factor causing difficulty, but the countertop doors in the upright position are excellant wind screens.

To me there are two options related to what you desire to move:
Use CI stove, move whater ever is stored in the open space.
I keep the cooler in the car, store a small tub containing a COBB grill and charchoal in "cooler" spot.

Use a different stove, then you don't have to move cooler. But where are you going to keep the other stove?

The CI stove is an excellant product, has accurate controls, and self storage.

You guys are awesome!

Up to now, camping with the kids has only been for one or two nights. Our diet has relied heavily on things-roasted-over-the-fire-on-sticks and our Jetboil for coffee, tea, and the kids' cocoa. We see some longer trips in our future and know it's time to upgrade our cooking technology. Our inclination is to keep things as simple as possible (with four kids, there's already a lot of moving parts, as you all know), and it sounds like the Camp-Inn stove will fit the bill.

Thanks for all of your insight.

 

I picked up a partner steel two burner stove for the teardrop. Anyone else use one?

I use a Coleman stove/grill combo. I haven't used the CI stove even once (and I have owned my trailer for two years). Just a personal preference.

 

What have others found to be the best way to care for the camp inn stove. Getting kind of rusty. I am thinkgin wire wheel to get rid of rust then flat black paint or is there a better way to keep it looking good?

Dave_Dixie that's a great question I wish I thought of it I hope you get a good answer.

 

I would have to search for it but I believe Betsey posted information on how to care for the stove.
