CAMP CHEF EVEREST 2X vs. 2 - COMPARISON VID - Includes water boil test !

Camp Chef Everest 2 vs. Camp Chef Everest 2x
In our previous review of the Camp Chef Everest 2 ( • Camp Chef Everest 2 Tw... ) , many people asked if it's the 2x, and if not, how does it compare to the Everest 2x. We finally had a chance to review both of these side by side, and make a fair comparison, and did a water boil test as well.
Stay tuned to the end to see the carry bags for the camp chef 2 burner stoves. These are working out great.

A lot of people liked our review of the Camp Chef Everest 2 dual burner propane stove (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DXq2d8jr-hppo) , but also often asked if that is the 2x, which it's not. They are different, and in this video, we compare the two, do a water boil test, and give our thoughts on which is best for us, and for you. Please like if this is your thing -

[@UnLikeU]

You just sold me on this with the Windscreen Lock down and I was just about to order the JetBoil Genesis because it's so Compact. I'm 1 of those 1.5 Thumbs up. Thanks.

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

Brother, I gave you the thumbs up. I have been suing a Coleman stove my sister Gave me when I was a senior in highshcool. I thought it was the carts meow until we bought the camp chef stove similar to these, but it has a little oven under the cook burners. after using it for two years, I just bought the Everest. and I love love love it. Didnt even know they made a 2X and I am still in love with mine, I am rough on stuff, so the 2X with the recessed handles may be better for a guy like me who bangs stuff around etc. I am still super happy with the one I have and I have officially retired the 30 year old, all beat to snot Coleman hahaha, it had a good run, if the Everest will give me another 30 years, I think I will be done camping by then as well hahaha. Keep up the fun videos, I enjoyed it so much, leaving a nice comment for you as well as a sub. See you on the road sometime sir. Dale

[@ramero420]

Bass pro shop makes a padded camp stove bag that fits the Everest 2x perfectly. It’s half the price and (in my opinion) nicer than the camp chef branded bag.

Hey LHoB, thanks for making this comparison video! I just purchased the Everest 2 in Sept 2022, and can confirm that my MS2HP says version 3. The box says 25,000 BTU burners, and the included user manual says max output per hour 50k BTU, so it's confirmed they've bumped up the output from its former 20k per burner.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

Thanks Nathan…i actually ordered a second ‘2’, since they lowered the price…have not opened it yet but sure enough i just checked…25k burners! (Now, how do i compare older vs newer, lol). Appreciate you bud!

[@angelaa7616]

Does the 5K BTU difference really matter? I would use it for stir- frying and cooking steaks at backyard. And hopefully the grate can make a 12" wok stable. Some people say it is quite slippery.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

@@angelaa7616 ive never done a comparison of a burner vs burner, because it probably does not matter. That said, I'd imagine science would dictate a higher btu value just means more power, thus things will cook faster. It probably doesnt matter to 99% of the folks, unless you're REALLY jonesing for that fast morning coffee or fast boiled water. The grate.....it never dawned on me, but yes, I suppose it is slippery, but ive never had a pan fly off, or any situation where i even noticed. Thank you for watching Angela, hopefully you'll consider subscribing !

[@marydonovan41]

I have the older model and love it. I like the fact that Camp Chef has listened to their customers. They have corrected the problems that were commented on the most. ( Or at least the ones I read.). I prefer the winglike wind screens and the indent for the knobs. I don’t think the upgrades are worthy of buying the new model. I do wish the whole stove was a little smaller, as it doesn’t fit on some tables. Kudos to Camp Chef for listening to their customer base. Kudos to you for a great review.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

We've been very happy with their products and support over the years. We still have our large three burner with legs stove in our backyard, and while it doesnt look pretty, works the same as the day we got it. Thanks for watching Mary, and hopefully you'll consider subscribing !

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

Great comparison! I like the form factor of the 2X better than the smaller one. Especially the recessed knobs, as a lot of people seem to have issues with knocking the knobs off their stoves. I also quite like how the latches do double-duty for the lid and the wind guards. Not that I need either of these, but I do love looking at camping gear. Hehe. 😁

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

I'm a bit of a gearhead, so I get a kick out of doing these

I gave my Everest 2 to one of my sons so he would have a stove during an emergency. I bought the Everest 2 2x since I liked the Everest 2 so much and I had some credits at REI that dropped the 2x price to #140, shipped. These are well built stoves and you won't go wrong with either one.

This really helped me understand the difference and make a final decision. I'm going with the 2 because it's smaller and just as powerful.

Thanks for the review man. I watched the other video and glad you did a comparison. I've been shopping for stoves for camping and hurricane season. The old Coleman I have, which served its purpose but being over 20 years old I wanted something new.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

Lee...Stu here....glad you were able to watch both and hopefully come to a decision on which one to buy. We're still using both, and i wound up buying a second '2', when they were on sale for a ridiculous price. Turns out the new '2' is now 25k btu per side. Happy camping buddy....hurricane season is almost over (at least for us floridians) !

[@dansklrvids7303]

Great comparison video, and very helpful to me, as I'm considering both. Are you able to tell me if there is any difference between the two stoves in terms of the distance between the two burners? That would make a big difference in my decision. Thanks.

[@happytrails1963]

Awesome comparison video! Looking for a new camping stove so many options. Was hoping to use this for truck camping. Size no matter just looking for decent stove for foods.

[@tinymission7821]

The 2x has a turn knob ignition vs the 2 push button ignition. The 2x is visually more appealing to me. I know that’s a personal kind of thing though. Great comparison of the 2 without any biases really. I just purchased the 2x from Backcountry. It was $155 plus a 15% new customer discount making it just under $132. That only lasted a few days though. It’s out of stock at the moment. I haven’t taken mine out of the box just yet. But this video definitely has me anxious to give it a test run.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

ahhh. good distinction I did not make on the ignition, good catch. I also like the 2X a smidge better, but the wife tells me we're keeping it at home until the 2 is too ratty for filming, lol. Thanks for watching, much appreciated...enjoy your steal of a deal 2x !

Nice review. Well dome mate.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

Thank you kindly

[@coacharielandersson]

What a great reveiw! much appreciated. Maybe I missed it, yet do I understand that there is better simmer on these stoves as well as the super heat?

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

You have it right. I find both these camp chef stoves to have really good LOW flame control, which you'd want for simmering, or cooking with an Omnia Oven (where low and slow is the rule). On high, both are pumping out 20k BTU per side, which is pretty significant. The '2' may now be upgraded to 25k BTU per side. Either way, the control is better than pretty much everything else out there (ala coleman stoves). Thanks for watching Coach! (hoping you subscribed).

[@seymourwrasse3321]

the wind screens fold down out of the way on the 2 vs the 2x doesn't so you technically can get a bigger pan/pot on it

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

that is true. the 2X, the wind blockers fold into the cover, so the same applies. Happy camping Seymour, and thanks for watching!

[@kevinthomas5270]

Somewhat a moot point now as Camp Chef no longer has the Everest 2 on their website in lieu of the Everest 2X. I have the older stove and love it aside from the grate warping slightly. I also own an older Camp Chef stove no longer in production of a briefcase design with detachable legs. It has 2 25K BTU burners and is still working fine. It looks an awful like the new 2X model in it's wind screens and clips.

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

I suspect the 'teton 2x' is the replacement for the '2'. who knows. im just happy they make quality products. Eventually, all video content for product reviews will be outdated.

@@LittleHouseofBeans I looked it up after watching this video and the Teton 2X has all the modern learnings of the Everest 2X (metal latches, the new wind screens that lock into place with the metal latches, the recessed design so that the knobs aren't poking out like the Everest 2), except the burners run at 10,000 BTU max per burner while the Everest 2 and Everest 2X burners can run at 20,000 BTU Max per burner.

Now that I watched the whole video I’m still not sure which one I like more. I’m planning to give my son my Coleman propane stove when he leaves the house to get him started with camping gear. I run a large Camp Chef Explorer but like having a small stove as well. What made you buy a second stove?

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

Honestly, I wanted to know the difference between the two, and sooo many people had commented or sent messages about my original review of the Everest 2. Since Edye does a lot of backyard cooking AND is afraid of the giant camp chef (lol), i somehow used that as justification to get another one, and if im to be super honest, I wanted to do the comparison video. I do like the 2X better, but Edye says not to bring it camping, and leave in backyard until the 2 is completely and utterly beat up, which could take years!

[@brianpeterson9923]

Just purchased the Everest 2 on Prime, what cookware do you use with yours?

[@Ren_O_72]

Great review. As we are researching a stove to suit our needs, we follow Dome Life and they love there Everest 2X. DO you know if these stoves can be hooked up to a 20lb Propane bottle?

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

We only used the little bottles for the test. We use an 11 or 20lb bottle most other times, considering the amount of cooking we do outdoors. So ya...if you have the propane adapter hose already, you're good to go ! Appreciate you popping over (we're dome life fans as well...trying to get a Kellie vs Edye cook off one day!), and please consider subscribing !

[@GutStringer]

Have you used either of the Everest stoves with the steel griddle that Camp Chef makes (FG20)? I've got an Everest 2X on the way and I'd love to see someone review the griddle. Cheers and thanks for the helpful review!

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

We do have a flat cast iron griddle, I dont think its a camp chef brand tho, but I have used it on the E2, and if i recall, it wasnt a perfect fit. I will look for that griddle tho and pick it up if it doesnt break the bank. I was just telling Edye I regret tossing my giant camp chef flat griddle (that we had for our camp chef big 3 burner stove).

[@LittleHouseofBeans]

this is becoming quite the search. I went directly to camp chef's website, they advertise the MOUNTAIN SERIES STEEL GRIDDLE 20 as one that fits on the 2x, however....its not cast iron, which while you inquired about the steel one, I kinda think cast iron is a better option. Im going to buy that griddle 20, as it should fit both the 2 and the 2x.

[@GutStringer]

Yeah, that's the griddle I was looking at on the Camp Chef website too. I'm also a big cast iron fan, but any of the dedicated griddles from Blackstone or Camp Chef are always steel. I do have a Lodge cast iron griddle, but it's super heavy to pack around. If that steel one works well enough it might be worth it. Bonus points if it's safe to use on an open campfire too, but I'm not sure if it is. Would love to see a review if you do pick up that griddle. Cheers!

My 2X arrived today. I ordered the Mountain Series Bulk Tank Hose & Regulator along with it (model MS40-6R). This eliminates the need for that metal elbow regulator and connects directly to a full size propane tank with no other connections/adapters. Works super slick! Highly recommended if you mainly use full size tanks.
