Has anyone used one of these and if so thoughts?

Seems like a good stove at least from the sales pitch.
I really like the idea of a grill.  I *think* I can basically live on a single burner, with the grill side as an aux.

No but I I use one of these:

I can use it on either of my propane stove or the butane stove.

The only thing I dislike about it is that it does not have a good non stick coating no matter what they say! I always add olive oil to stop the sticking.

Nope,
When I see that I see nothing but a slimy greasy mess that needs to be cleaned with available cold water.

Once cleaned It will sit mostly clean and the residual grease will go rancid and stink.

Not for me.......

Carry a small propane grill, the grease burns away.
It is still a mess but slip it into a plastic bag and tie it on the roof.

Almost there: The only long term non stick is cast iron.

Djkeev: Yup. sounds bout right.

Gonna check one out at a local outfitter (who charges 2x the price literally) and decide.

In all honesty, been loving my Lodge cast iron charcoal hibachi for grilling.

James at Enigmatic Nomadic has one and he loves it. We made a video comparing it to my Weber portable propane grill and it was close, they work surprisingly well. (The video is no longer available, but conceivably could come back)

I have this stove and have used it on several recent trips to Crater Lake and eastern Oregon

Pros:
The stove is powerful; I was able to bring a pot of ice cold water to a rapid boil in around 6 minutes in 30 degrees.
Didn't use as much fuel as I expected -- a small can lasted for several days

Cons:  
Electronic Ignition failed me almost every time I tried it in cold and/or altitude.  
Wind block panels were hit and miss -- one side kept disengaging for me in light breezes
It's bulky.  

If I was buying a stove today, I'd go with something more compact and probably a single burner, but if you must have a grill and a stove, this is an OK choice.

I have one, I honestly wish I'd just gone with a double burner tho.

 

[B and C]

I have one of those too.  It is great for grilling outside and has a handy place to heat up a side dish too.  I won't grill inside.

If you don't plan on grilling anything, a two burner stove would probably be a better fit.

I had one of those a few years back.  It worked OK.  It's doesn't have a cover and is a little small for serious grilling.  IMHO, you'd be better off with a two burner stove.

I have a Camp Chef 2 burner stove that I can put a griddle on, or a grill. so I can go back and forth. actually I am thinking of adding a pizza oven. yes all these are available for my stove. highdesertranger
