Be forewarned, this baby CRANKS!
I waited a full month to post this review, in order to let my husband (whom is a Chef De Cuisine) put this stove through its paces. We are full time RV'ers now, so our stove is used on a daily basis. I have to say first off, the build and performance is top notch! The cooking surface is a few inches wider than our old Coleman two burner camp stove, nice! You can fit, two 10 inch skillets on there easily (I just measured). The second day we had this, hubby decided on Fried Chicken cooked in a cast iron skillet. Turned out beautifully! No scorch marks on anything, impressive! Since then it's turned out everything from low and slow braising to high heat, fried rice to perfection. This thing even makes grilled cheese better than my home stove top, absolutely beautifully! We've had no issues with low even cooking, the only thing is, the flame is "not" under pressure. It's more like cooking over a camp fire. So you've got to be aware of wind sources to cook low, otherwise you're going to have the flame blow sideways and not directly under your pan, pot, griddle, etc.. It's 20,000 BTU's puts out a tremendous amount of heat, that's what it's meant to do, and why we bought it in the first place! I agree, that for normal cooking situations a quarter turn is all that's needed at most.
Needless to say, my husband is quite satisfied with the purchase and we love it for our purposes!
Happy Cooking!
