so exciting! like a new red Ferrari no more pumping and soot

[@camplapidary]

Honestly I never minded the pumping, it was fun and you felt like you were doing something important and useful. Made for good video moments too! Now the soot, that I can do without... :D

[@tdiler12]

its a wonderful upgrade imo and that tank will last a very long time I bought a coleman half side burner other side flame broiler grill . Definitely enjoying that one camping.

20,000 btu burners supposedly on this thing. I hope it will speed up the percolator coffee making!

I think going through the floor is where I would go. The making hole in the side of a trailer sounds like something I would not want to do.

[@camplapidary]

I imagine you'd also be in the camp of no roof penetrations? In my opinion, it's pretty easy to prevent casual water intrusion. Do you have other reservations beyond water? I did consider going out of the stove and straight down through the floor. I'd need a different style of passthrough, but I have seen some that would work. Ultimately I decided against the floor route because I have nothing else going through the floor and have quite a few wall penetrations already, what's one more.. Thanks for commenting! :D

Awesome share, have a great weekend

[@camplapidary]

Thank you! You too! I think I'll be working a bit on routing propane hoses this weekend. Camping season is rapidly approaching. How about you, doing anything fun? :D

Such a nice new red and black stove (one of my favorite color combinations for gear). I'm a little jealous of the space you have because I would love to have a two-burner stove inside my trailer. Someday I may build out a 6 by 10 and will have the capacity to have the kind of room you do inside your trailer and to be able to stand up and move around in it. Perhaps the line could be run straight out the side on the same level of the shelf the stove is sitting on? That would give the hose some flexibility for the stove to be moved around but may get in the way of making that part of the shelf useful for sitting a bunch of things on. I think probably you will be the one to break the code for that particular situation since you are there in the real space and know what you can get away with. I also like your 5 lb tank. I don't particularly like having to buy those 1 lb propane bottles because they are expensive for one and two it's a big waste to have to throw them away I think. (I use them in a Buddy heater that I use for marginal situations when I want to heat my trailer). One thing I do is I have a 20 lb tank that I refill the 1 lb cylinders with over and over but I know that that's something you're not supposed to do but I have done it for years and found it relatively safe thing to do if you weigh them correctly and leave the space in them for expansion and contraction when going over different altitudes. Nice video Marc.

Thanks, Kenny. I have seen you talk/type about getting a 6x10 perhaps. Being able to fully stand and operate in the trailer is a very nice feature. Gas mileage will go down with the larger profile trailer, always something to factor in. I'll be working on my 4'x6' trailer this summer, I hope to use it to get to farther places on less gas monies yet still have a bit of comfort. For the gas hose, going out the front on the same level as the stove would be the simplest, easiest, most direct way. But, potential water intrusion from rain while underway could be an issue. And it would be unsightly right there in my kitchen space. I like the idea of going out the side, down lower near the man door. I have purchased the necessary hoses and hatch to get it done I believe. I feel like I'd lose too much counter space taking the hose out the side on the stove level. In my purchases, I did get a system for refilling the smaller propane tanks. Haven't used it yet, but I plan on topping up/refilling the 5lb from from my 20lb tanks. I think it works for the 1lb bottles as well. I've no problem with refilling of tanks. The only big caution I would say to people is not to do the refilling indoors! Good way to blow oneself up! I sure wish I was down south right now. Spring is coming but it's fickle here in Utah. :D

[@TheCaptainShow]

got to invest in one of these this summer great to watch this video, nice 1 Marc catch you later mate

[@camplapidary]

Going to be doing a bit of outdoor cooking, Captain? Thanks for the visit! :D

[@DonPaoloEstrella-k4o]

I was wondering if you have used this stove frequently. Could you share some insights on its pros and cons?

[@camplapidary]

Hi, Don! I have used this stove a few times now and really like it! I have to say that this is my first propane stove, so I don't have experience with many propane stoves. It's a large stove - Fits good size pots and pans with ease but it does take up some counterspace. It's easy to wipe down and clean. It looks nice and is easy to use on camera. The burners are very powerful. It's nice when you want to boil a lot of water quickly but when cooking food I often have the burners barely on at all. It can heat the trailer very effectively. As a new to propane stove guy I have to wonder, do I really need 20,000 btu burners? The control knobs for the flame are very sensitive at low heat settings, a tiny turn adds much heat... It comes with a fuel regulator attachment that is meant for using the small 1 pound propane bottles. I have little interest in using those bottles so I bought a propane hose to work with the included regulator. I wasn't happy with using the included regulator and purchased hose as it was taking up too much counterspace sticking out of the side of the stove. So I bought the extra Camp Chef regulator on a hose and another extender hose to run to a larger propane tank, and now it works better but the hose sticking out of the side of the stove still takes from counterspace. That's about all I've got. I like the stove and will be using it for a long time I hope. Cost a bit extra to get it setup in a manner acceptable to me and my uses. Hope this helps! :D
