Propane stove - looking for recommendations

[HappyLife1977]

The campchef oven/ stove tells you to position the propane x number of feet away from the unit. Yet the 1 pound propane cannister is attached less than 2 inches from the unit...

Hubby spent 15 years towing and most of the RVS that weren't dumped at auction during the 'economic down swing' of the Bush/Obama years were ones where the propane tank made them look like an anti tank missile had gotten them.  So glad we changed our mind about the camp chef propane oven.

Resurrecting this thread to report that I purchased the latest GasOne dual fuel single burner stove, the 4000P.

So far, I like it. The biggest motive for replacing the Coleman is the lack of simmer control. I do think the GasOne IS marginally better, but it's hard to tell, since the burner does put out more BTU than the Coleman. At any rate, I still use use the diffuser, but I THINK I am getting better results. The control dial, like the Coleman's, lacks numbers, but there is wording on the dial, so you can use the letters to get a repeatable setting. The piezo works every single time, and I find that I appreciate it more than I thought I would. The GasOne's burner is designed to be more wind resistant, and I am finding that to be true, although I am not in an especially windy location, so who knows. The form factor of the stove is rectangular, so it would be easier to use a windscreen.

Works great with my Omnia.

I wish GasOne made a propane-only stove, but they don't. Also, the "User manual" doesn't address how to use the stove with propane at all. Sure, I figured it out, but it seems...odd...

I remain concerned about the line/regulator issues that others have reported. Time will tell.

So all-in-all a marginal improvement over the Coleman, for about half-again as much money. I was debating whether to keep it or not, but then this morning I decided I needed to clean it. Wow, SUPER simple. So that tipped the balance, I'm keeping it.
