When my family goes car camping we cook almost exclusively over fire or we use coals with a camp Dutch oven. However, it's nice to have something to cook on under a canopy when it rains and to rapidly get the coffee going first thing in the morning. So I was looking for a compact, high output, sturdy/stable stove to put in our kit. This sits very low to the table with a very wide pot rest, this sturdy setup is nice when you have small children running around and bumping tables. I can put a 10-in Dutch oven on this thing and saute veggies no problem. Back in the day we used to use the classic two burner gas camp stove; for anyone who does that, I would recommend grabbing two of these instead and saving room when packing up the family in the car. I have a backpacking stove, backpacking pot, and multiple gas lanterns from fire Maple. I think some of their designs are pretty novel and their price is pretty hard to beat.
