The Wife wants a backup for extended power outages.

She was thinking gas grill, but we NEVER grill, it would have to sit out side and would rot out before it wore out. Plus, one with even just 2 side burners cost more than the freakin' stove did!

So, I'm thinking something like a 2 burner propane camp stove. Easy to store, easy to set up outside, good enough for emergency cooking.

Looking for suggestions in that vein or suggestions for alternatives.

Tell me about it. I haven't had a drink in over 20 years, but some days it's a VERY close thing...

I have a defect somewhere in my Guy DNA. Don't watch sports, don't grill.

I should probably apply for Protected Class status... Big Grin

Propane catering stove? They make them as small as single burner. They also make entirely self contained butane versions as well.

This and a propane tank would do just fine.

I'd get a 2 burner camp stove then if a grill doesn't make sense for you.

APW Wyott GHP-2i Dual Burner Countertop Range, the orifices to convert to propane, and a 30# tank. You'll be set for two months.

Set this up outside the back door with an easy-off enclosure, and you'll probably start cooking the messy-smelly-smoky stuff outside.

We have one of these units from Northern Tool. Coupled with an LP tank it does well with everything from heating oil for deep frying to a slow simmer for soups, stews, etc.

Good luck!

I think you are spot on with the Coleman type stove. Mine runs on white gas or I can put regular through a filter and use it.

It's nice and easy to store and if there ever was any catastrophic event I'm guessing that regular gas will be easier to obtain than propane.

Just use it a couple of times after you get it to make sure you are comfortable with operating it prior to needing it.

Cheers~

If you're looking for a nice stand up unit I'd recommend a Camp Chef. Cast iron burners, heavy duty frame, and breaks down into a relatively compact package.

We use one while in elk camp and it is a solid piece of gear. Think two turkey fryers mounted next to each other. Kicks the normal camp stove in every category but weight.

Check out the Weber Q. Small and can store it on a shelf in garage.

I actually have one of those. Great for deep frying turkeys, lacks a little finesse for frying eggs...

Did you look at the PRICES on those? Eek

Yup, I think that's the best balance between price, usability and convenience. Ordered one from Amazon.

I second that recommendation.

I leave one side open and have a cast iron flat top for the other side.

Open side is used for a wok sometimes or I can boil water, use a cast iron skillet, etc.

I've used Camp Chef stoves before. They're good quality.

We used to have a Coleman Roadtrip for car camping, and it was very handy. It's easy to use and clean, has wheels for easy transport, and it folds flat for storage. It's a bit handier than a Camp Chef.

https://www.amazon.com/Coleman...rds=coleman+roadtrip

It uses the small green propane cannisters, which are available at just about any store that sells camping gear, or you can buy an adapter hose to use a full-size propane tank.

It comes with traditional grill grates, but you can also buy a griddle top or stove burner top to replace the grates, which makes it very versatile.

For someone who also wanted to use it on occasion for grilling or take it with them while camping, I'd recommend the Coleman Roadtrip over the Camp Chef. But for your situation, the Camp Chef should work well.
