 Alright so real quick as we open this, the first thing we find are the instruction manual in here, we'll also pull out the actual stove top here, set that down. We have the legs here in this bag, we'll get this all assembled and we have the guard that goes around the outside. Now if you can see this flanged end hooks on all four for each of the legs and you have this little wing nut here to tighten. Now the heat shield when it goes on, you can see it has these little brackets that just go over the metal on the outside

 Hey friends, it's Fuller Farm and we're going to do an unboxing and review of the Explorer by Camp Chef. This is a two burner stove you can use for camping or for cooking and we got this one at Cabela's on sale for $75 so we're going to get this unboxed and take a look at it. Alright so real quick as we open this, the first thing we find are the instruction manual in here, we'll also pull out the actual stove top here, set that down. We have the legs here in this bag, we'll get this all assembled and we have the guard that goes around the outside

 There's all sorts of attachments from a grill on the top to you can also have a griddle or if you're doing steaks you could be cooking on that as well so if you haven't tried them out there, great, highly recommend it, it's what we use at Fuller Farm. Here comes some steam, starting to get some bubbles on the very bottom, it's getting closer and there's our rolling boil, so that took about 7 minutes to go to a full boil, it was uncovered, it's 40 degrees outside, had it on high, half a gallon of water, not bad. Just for fun we're going to take this boiling pot of water and pour it on this leftover patch of snow, which is about the last of the snow from the storm, see how it reacts. Thanks for watching and have a great day

 Now we've already used this cooker for about a week in Ohio Pile State Park, cooked all of our meals on this, it was really great, did well, performed well. Great thing about these is you can also use them if you're canning, if you want to cook outside it's always good when you're canning to cook on gas, it's much more efficient when you're canning. Great buy, especially for $75, can't go wrong with that. Whether for camping or for a survival situation, highly recommend the Camp Chef line, I know they get even more expensive than this basic Explorer model

Camp Chef Explorer Unboxing and Review

 So we're going to go ahead and assemble this and get it together. Okay so the legs went on extremely easy, I'm going to show you guys how to put on this windscreen here, so you'll just lock the two sides here first and then you'll want to grab it from the back and again it's just got the tabs right here, they just slide right into place and that's it. Very easy install on the windscreen. So overall it just took about one minute to assemble and put together, which really isn't too bad

 Alright so we've been heating up for just a few minutes here and we're ready to go now. So since we've got our grill box and our griddle here we're able to do a couple of different things. So we're going to go ahead and throw some sausages on the grill over here and over here on the griddle we're going to go ahead and throw a couple burgers on and we're also going to do a couple pieces of bacon, we're going to do bacon cheeseburgers. Alrighty so we're going to let that go for a few minutes and we'll be back to check and see how it's doing

 Make sure it's nice and tight and you'll just go ahead and open your propane tank and we are ready to start cooking. Okay so Camp Chef offers a number of different accessories that you can purchase for their stoves. Those including a barbecue grill box, cookware, flat top griddles, and an artisan pizza oven. So what we have here today is the barbecue grill box

 It looks like the bacon is just about done here so we're going to move that off to the side and it looks like our burgers only have a few minutes left so we're going to get some cheese on these and we'll top it with that bacon and we should be good to go. Alright guys so here is our final product and it turned out fantastic. Couple of things I wanted to point out to you guys, I did notice a little bit of wobble in the stove while cooking on it, however if you pick up the leg levelers that Camp Chef offers we'll take care of that issue. Other than that the grill did outstanding, it gets four and a half out of five stars

Camp Chef Explorer 14" portable stove - Best outdoor stove review

  The stove itself looks to me to be built like a main battle Tank. Just love the design. Put the stove together and the heat output was amazing.  The thumb screws that hold the legs in place are a joke with what looks like cheap plastic turn handles

  I am a dutch oven fanatic. Recently went to a Cee Dub dutch oven clinic. Cee Dub uses this type of stove in his clinics and although well used I was impressed with the heat output of his stove. One reason Dutch Oven folks love this style stove is the open bottom lets the chef put a charcoal chimney full of charcoal on a burner and it heats up the charcoal and the resulting dirt falls through

 I opened up every thing and stove lit right off the bat. Amazing.  The stove itself looks to me to be built like a main battle Tank. Just love the design

  My take is I am gonna love this stove cooking on the deck or out of my pickup truck. Do not think it will be used on a raft trip due to size and weight, but I wish I could take it to group cook big pot meals and gallons of coffee each morning.  I ordered the carry bag as well. This bag is a bit better quality than the inside bag but looking at the cloth I would be surprised if it lasts for multiple trips

I am a long time outdoor cook person. Started out with the old Coleman two burners. Long as they were made in USA these were the bomber outdoor stoves and I still have one. Soon as they shifted manufacturing to China quality went to dismal and I stopped using them

Powerful Stove, made in China and always suspect quality from there but stove basic parts do look good. Big and heavy.

 They do have a one burner griddle just for 10, I want the big one. We've used it this week, cooking pork chops, going fish. We have loved it. We cooked our hamburgers on it last night, and so we're going to do a big breakfast on it this morning

 It's really working out well. If you saw in some of our last videos, we had a small tabletop Colvin griddle that we've had for years. We actually got that from Brittany's grandfather. And we've been using it for quite a while

 The griddles in the grill world are getting big, and we started talking about one. This is one we can easily pack up. The legs come loose, you can set it on tabletop, use it just that way, or you can put the legs on it. They do come with it

 We're going to put this thing to real work. We haven't loaded it up yet, so we're going to see how good it does. We wanted this one because we could take the griddle off and have the burners for camping so we could use our skillet or we could put our fry pot on it and fry fish. I've got my big pot, I can do a low country boil on this thing

Camp Chef Explorer 2-Burner Stove Review - Puzzled Adventurers

 The burners and cooking surface is well protected from wind, but buyers should know there is no lid like conventional grills which keep the heat in.

 This grill has a substantial weight so it is not portable except for the fact the legs come off. I like the grill, and the fact it is not massive in size suits my needs well. The burners and cooking surface is well protected from wind, but buyers should know there is no lid like conventional grills which keep the heat in.

Good value but prepare for add-on costs.

 We took this camping in 90+ plus degree temperatures and very glad that we could cook outside the trailer instead of inside, particularly as we were dry camping a few nights.  Now the Cons:  The stove is hot. Even on the lowest setting with a decent breeze the pot was boiling instead of simmering. If you need to cook something on low heat, this isn't the stove for you

Cooks well but flimsly accessories and very poor instructions

Meticulously engineered and crafted the 3.1 ounces. Soto WindMaster ultralight backpacking stove outperforms its competitors by maintaining a strong flame on stormy, blustery days. WindMaster includes a stove body, carry bag, and 4-Flex Support. Designed to position pot close to the flame making it nearly impossible for the wind to penetrate the stove's flame. With the installation of the micro regulator, the WindMaster is able to maintain a consistent output when challenging the limits in this category of stoves. The stove is shock resistant. The stealth igniter installed inside the burner post improves ignition and prevents breakage. Output: 2800 kcal/h 3260w 11000 BTU

OutdoorGearLab

From the first time we fired up the Soto Windmaster, we were surprised by its respectable performance across all metrics. The piezoelectric igniter works almost every time, which is a rarity among auto-igniters. The 4-flex pot supports provide generous stability for pans of all sizes &mdash; even burly 2-liter pots won't threaten this stove's stability. The Windmaster produces a smoldering blue flame that boils water quickly and lends to above-average fuel efficiency. However, the most noteworthy feature of this stove is its impressive wind resistance. In an 8-10 mph breeze, this thing stays lit and can even boil water.
This backpacking stove performs so well that we have very few gripes about it. That said, the high octane flame comes at the expense of your peace; this stove is a little loud &#40;though certainly not the loudest in this review&#41;. The Windmaster is also not the most compact of the stoves we tested. It was challenging to pack the generous pot supports, burner, and a fuel canister into our small tester pot. That said, we found this a small price to pay for the sturdy pot supports. Bottom line, we think this an essential piece of backpacking gear and is the best stove for most people most of the time.

 So that's a bonus, and just overall this thing is really really cool, so I'm super psyched about the way that this thing has boiled water, how it performs it burns. Hot you've got good simmer action to it and I literally do not have like negative things to say about it: it it's just a top notch, high quality piece of gear that I've been really really happy with. So you do have to turn this on. Quite a few turns so there's an example of that taking a little bit longer, but the other thing that I really like about this is it doesn't burn really loud, so it doesn't have this really high pitch burn to it, but it's a really really nice good

 At this point I purchased this stove. This is the MSR Superfly, with the piezo igniter spend about 70 dollars for this stove, and this is probably one of the most reliable stoves that I have ever owned. However, it it's pretty heavy its bulky and doesn't it doesn't pull down really well, and so I have ultimately stopped using this stove and I started looking at more light weight. / ultralight options like this oli camp ion micro, which is going to be very similar to like the BRS, titanium stove that is very popular in common on Amazon and then the as well as the olie camp, kinetic, which I did do kind of a comparison of All of these different stoves that I own and I'll link that up here, but there's there's something about the way that all three of these, particularly as well as this GSI pinnacle Four Seasons

 Stove have led me to want to purchase this. So let's go ahead and talk about why I purchase the Soto and what has been so awesome about its performance, because there's features about this stove that make it stand out from a lot of the other stoves that are available out on the market. So there's one attribute to this so de Winne master stove. That has allowed this to outperform these other canister stoves that I have owned, and it is right here at the base of the stove

 Next to the height of the burner, that's something that I really really enjoy about. This stove is the space between the burner and the bottom of the pot allows for it to basically be its own type of windscreen in that concave shape, which and other Soto stoves. Like that, amicus do have that concave shape as well. That'S kind of like a signature thing that I feel like makes a really big difference in the overall performance of this stove

Soto WindMaster Stove Review | Is This The Best Canister Stove?

 Let'S break this stove down fold the legs around the base, depending on your pot size. This can fit in along with your gas. Canister, however, doesn't fit in the mai tai 650 mug. So if I take this combination and the bhavantu just put the gas in here with a rag or two and the wind master - goes in its bag and goes in one of the pockets in my wok

 You want to use a frying pan there we go. Oh, if you take that off, so you put your pot on locate it in there. Pan knock up a steak. Something like that, if I want to so with the other two stones, you're going to need to come up with a pot combination as well

 This is not the greatest over winning these views in the wind, but that can easily be combatted by getting a cheap windshield to give it some protection from the elements very efficient on fuel, it's lightweight and it compacts really small and the cheapest I've found it is 29 pounds and that's delivered so for me that makes this the best value of all the stoves. Obviously there are a lot of other gas stoves out there that could perform equally or better than the three that I've shown you today. But these are the three that I use and I often get asked questions on which one is the best. So before I did this experiment, I would have put the stoves in order minimo, wind master and then their MSR pocket rocket in last place

 So it was using twice as much fuel as the Jetboil. It'S a joint first place. You have the Jetboil and the MSR pocket rocky bow for the scored 15 points, the Jetboil scored really well for boil times fuel efficiency and for simran. However, it's a very bulky bit of kit and it's twice as expensive as as the pocket rocket, and that is what considering the price of a 20-pound pot to go with this

Camp Stove Battle - Which stove is best? - MSR Pocket Rocket 2 v Jetboil Minimo v Soto Windmaster

I would skip the JetBoil and get a Soto Windmaster or a Fire Maple Blade 2. Jetboils are heavy and not that much better than a lightweight stove and a titanium pot. The minimo in particular doesn't even have any real advantages for wind resistance and still weighs significantly more than many other stoves and pots.

Have been car camping maybe half a dozen times 15+ yrs ago and was doing it all wrong (we didn't have access to the internet resources we do now 😂). Got the urge to get over my fear of bugs (mainly spiders) and go camping again. I'm aiming to just trial car camping by myself, but would like to try out some beginner hiking trips eventually (probably with a small tour group that can show me the way). I'll only be camping in pretty mild conditions (say 25ish C down to maybe 10C at most).

I've started shopping for the basics and I think I've got everything I need. Just wondering if there's anything I've forgotten that I should consider?

GEAR

1. Naturehike Star River 2p - originally wanted the Mongar, but chose the Star River instead for the better protected side walls. It was also a lot cheaper. Was going to go down to their 1 man tents but they're too small since I want to be able to keep my bag inside (and away from bugs).

2. Sea to Summit Ether Lite Xt insulated mat - I'm a side sleeper. I've also never had a properly suited mat before and have suffered for it so this was a no compromise item. I also figured I could easily resell this if I change my mind about camping.

3. Sleeping bag - already have this but can't remember what it is exactly. It's rated down to 6C. I'll see how it goes for now and upgrade later if I feel I need to.

4. Thermarest compressible pillow - I decided to treat myself with this...

5. Jetboil Minimo - wanted an all in one type solution and this came out the cheapest surprisingly?! In the future I would like to add the coffee press which was part of the reason for picking this setup. Also should be easy to resell if need be.

6. No backpack required yet since I'm going car camping. I have a duffle bag already.

7. Odds and ends - got some cheap sea to summit cutlery and an X-Cup. Also already have a torch, multitool and huge camping chair (won't be taking this if I start hiking).

In the future, I'm aiming to get an Osprey Farpoint Trek 55L back pack. It's going to be used primarily as a travel bag...but can do some light hiking. The big front opening, air cover and decent suspension system are the selling points for me.

I'll also probably add a Nitecore nu25 headlamp at some point. I thought this could double as my tent lighting. I also appreciate that it has a red light just for regular camp lighting.

Am I missing anything essential?

If you've made it this far, thanks for taking the time 🙂

<li>Odds and ends - got some cheap sea to summit cutlery and an X-Cup. Also already have a torch, multitool and huge camping chair (won&#39;t be taking this if I start hiking).</li>
</ol>

In the future, I&#39;m aiming to get an Osprey Farpoint Trek 55L back pack. It&#39;s going to be used primarily as a travel bag...but can do some light hiking. The big front opening, air cover and decent suspension system are the selling points for me.

I&#39;ll also probably add a Nitecore nu25 headlamp at some point. I thought this could double as my tent lighting. I also appreciate that it has a red light just for regular camp lighting.

Am I missing anything essential?

If you&#39;ve made it this far, thanks for taking the time 🙂 

EDIT: just to clarify, for anything I need to buy, I&#39;m aiming to use it hiking as well down the track. Car camping is just practice to see if Im gonna stick with it before fully committing 😂

UPDATE: Thanks again to every ITT. I&#39;ve ordered a few more things and added some to the list for later when I need it.
