Hi. Does anyone have experience with the stove/oven combo by either Coleman or Camp Chef?  What do you think? Is one better than the other?  Are there other options I should consider?

Thank you in advance for any thoughts you may have.
 
I have no experience with the Coleman. however I have had a Camp Chef for about 15 years. when it works it works great. it has had issues though I had to replace a valve for the stove, that was an ordeal it took Camp Chef 3 tries to get me a valve. the first one was a factory defect(poor quality control) the second one was the wrong one(right number on the box, wrong part). on the third one they finally got it right. then last year at the RTR the regulator stopped working right, would not flow enough propane. so I got another regulator. works good again. I want to point out I have an older Camp Chef stove it was made in the USA I have never had one problem with it. the great record of the stove is what led me to buy the stove/oven combo. but when I got it I noticed it was made in China as far as I can tell all of camp chef goods are made in China nowadays. believe me I let Camp Chef know how disappointed I was in them for outsourcing their products to China. I couldn't believe their reply, they told me there was no companies left in the US that could cast the valves, I told them BS. I would guess the Coleman is made in China too. so that is my experience with the Camp Chef. highdesertranger

Yes, it is.
 
Thank you for the insights. Not sure which way I'm going yet but this helps.
