Camp Stove suggestion?

[indysteel]

We have a two burner Coleman "Perfectflow" stove that cost roughly $60 from Gander Mountain. It serves its purpose just fine. I don't get overly ambitious when camping, but it's fine for reheating things and boiling water. For the money, it would be my choice. I'm not much into grilling when camping because I really don't want to deal with raw meat at a campsite, but that's me. We did brats one time and just used charcoal and one of the grills that you can find in BCSP at some of the campsites.

DH and I have the first of the stoves Muirenn suggested. Like I said, for the money, it's a good choice.

Following a scary incident with a small butane cannister stove back in 1977, I bought a 2-burner white gas "Coleman" camp stove from Sears. It was marked $20.00, had the Sears name instead of Coleman, but was missing the cap from the fuel tank, so I was able to get it for ~$15. Then I went around the corner to an appliance repair shop and bought the cap I needed for maybe $1.95 or something along those lines.

Fast forward some 35 years - that stove still works perfectly. And has come in handy during a power failure - just set it up on the deck so I could make coffee or heat up some soup.

I've replaced the generator at least once along with the fuel pump rod/leather assembly but that's all the maintenance it's ever needed. Probably still haven't spent on parts what I paid for the original stove.

I only do car-camping so have no issues with the size or weight of the unit. When camping I will use the stove, and the campfire as needed but I plan my camp cooking very carefully to minimize clean up.
