For some background, we have an old Coleman 2-burner that has a round burner on the right and a long burner on the left with a rectangular grate over it. But a couple weekends ago, we met some family in SD for a long weekend of camping and loved how their Camp Chef griddle cooked so much food easily! My wife and I are now contemplating swapping out or coleman for something similar.
Here are my items I want in a replacement:
1. Fairly compact for storability.
2. Two-burners
3. Flat griddle with grease drain
4. Would love it to have a lid/hood for when it's windy.
5. Would like to replace the flat griddle with a grate of some sort so we can boil water or something like a traditional gas stove.
6. Only needs propane to operate.
7. Do not need a stand as we would just use it on a table.
I have done my own research and here are my results and why they don't quite fit the bill.
1. Pitboss Table Top Sportsman
Does not have a grate (although one could be made)
2. Blackstone ADVENTURE READY 17" WITH HOOD & SIDE BURNER
How is that 17" measured? I fear it would be too small to cook bacon and make pancakes on the same griddle.
I have looked at camp chef, but they don't have a hood.
Any out there that I am missing?
Thanks for your help!
