Low pressure stove?

[david_reaves]

Has anyone found a good lightweight low pressure camp stove for use with the external quick connect hose? I like the Camp Chef Mountaineer, but it is a little more expensive than I'd like to pay. The Magma Crossover is nice, and affordable-- but heavy for loading and carrying! The other "stovetop" versions just don't seem durable enough or really very well designed for portability.

Reasonably light, but expensive:

I've found relatively inexpensive, but heavy at 50 lbs:

Or cheap, light, but not made for portability (or durability):

What are your suggestions? Thanks!

For clarity, you’re looking for a camp stove and not a portable grill. Correct?

All of those sell 10's of 1,000's a year.
All of them make owners
happy
Or
Not.

Expense is one time.
Double or triple the price...wil it outlive you?

If $100 or so is precious right now....

And
The quickconnect is a bothersome/loathsome leash
when you want to move to a table or a bit more remote.
I've never found even slight value in it over me refilling 1lb bottles.

(While I do refill 1lb bottles for our stove, we haven't used the stove in maybe 10 years. Those stoves are a Bothersome thing for us. Cooking outside for the simple sake of cooking outside is not our thing.)

I ditched everything LP except the built in cook-top and water heater...bought a Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill. Bakes, grills, broils, air fries, smokes, dehydrates and roasts. It outcooks any grill I've ever had, other than the need for quantity. Fits in a small bin and weighs only 50 pounds. Everything is cooked outdoors except microwave reheating. We occasionally bake in microwave convection mode. Onboard LP tank lasts 2 years.

Above is exactly opposite, yet the same, for us.


Opposite in that
we don't cook outside
Same in that
Convenience is convenient.

(We still carry the 1lb bottle bbq. 24.1 has too much storage room and weight is not a thing.
One is none)

The third one specifically says:

Portable double stove
Portable double stove is great for using outdoors, campsite, hunting lodge as well. This propane cook-top is ideal to use in outdoor

Not sure why you think it's not portable.

Been away for a couple of days... mostly it seems to have no provision for closing anything up, lid, cover, etc. It looks to be portable only in that it is light and can be set anywhere it is flat.

The stove below would be perfect-- unfortunately it isn't certified for import into the US. The retail price is very affordable, at $170 Australian. That's currently about $112 USD

As far as cooking outside, I frequently travel with other family and an exterior stove is essential to getting things done for the group. Previously I accomplished with the stove built into my camper trailer's outside kitchen. I have a Y connector for the quick connect, which I formerly used for the outside kitchen stove and a grill. My son-in-law has the Blackstone griddle.

Many grills can be converted to use without the regulator. We purchased a kit for our Weber grill and converted it to use the quick disconnect propane connection on the outside of the motorhome.

It's $299 AUS today. It looks just like the Coleman Low Pressure stove that came with our first POP-UP trailer many years ago.

You would think you could pick up a standard modern Coleman two burner camp stove that uses the 1 Ib bottle and easily convert it for low pressure use, but nooooo - it uses medium pressure at the burners (about 15" water pressure" so a direct connection would not work.

So I have a 5 Lb tank and hose with 1 lb adapter end that I use for the easier to find high pressure appliances. Fill the tank at the same place you fill the RV (by the gallon) and not at a 20 Lb tank "deal" place.

Hmmm.... How well does that thing smoke? That would sure eliminate a lot of other cooking devices from our load.

I'm probably going to to get the necessary valve and refill "certified" refillable one pound cans. I can buy the valve, a couple of bottles, and propane in a 20-lb cylinder for a long time on the extra $300-400 cost of the available, folding, low pressure stove. The Coleman stove works well enough, and I can find room for 2-3 small 1lb bottles. I'll use the RV hose only for the grill I guess.

I carry an induction cooktop just in case I need to use a pan to cook something I can’t do on my Weber Q 1200. Pans from Aldi are induction compatible. But with a Weber Q “trivet” and a piece of foil I can bake & roast with the Weber Q. With a grill mat (a 3 pack from Aldi cost $5) I can fry eggs and pancakes on the Weber Q as well. The only thing I have a problem with is low and slow. 300 is about as low as I can get it. But I have turned out some dynamite ribs.

Everyone has their own preference but induction when you're outdoors is the way to go for me. The small propane camping style cooktops never seem like they do well if you have any wind blowing while you're using them. The heat gets blown off which is no issue for induction.

You're right about that Q1200 too, I do wish we had more control of the temperature on it. It's another one that cooking in the wind is tough on.
