Portable Butane Camping Stove, Countertop Cooktop, 12,000 BTU | Brass Burner, Double Wind Guard, Electronic Ignition, Overheat Shut-Off, Hard Carry Case, Boil to Simmer, 90235

Hey preppers and outdoor enthusiasts! I've recently added this new tool to my preparedness kit – the Chef Master 90235 Butane Countertop Stove. And let me tell you, it's a game-changer for anyone looking to beef up their emergency readiness or just enjoy some outdoor cooking. What's so great about it? First off, it packs a powerful punch with 12,000 BTU, meaning it's not just some flimsy piece of equipment. It's professional quality, folks. But the real cherry on top? It's portable and safe for indoor use, which is perfect for those times when you need to cook indoors without power. I bought it specifically as a prepper tool. The idea is to have a reliable, easy-to-use stove that can come in handy during emergencies. And the Chef Master 90235 fits the bill perfectly. It's compact enough to store without taking up too much space, yet robust enough to handle whatever cooking task you throw at it. Planning to stock up on a few more, because when it comes to preparedness, having backups is key. Whether it's a power outage, camping trip, or just an addition to your emergency kit, this butane stove is a solid investment. So, if you're in the market for a portable stove that's both powerful and practical, give this a look. It's one of those purchases that you hope you won't need to use but will be glad to have on hand just in case.

This is a really great little cook stove. Comes in its own carrying box and it's just the right size for camping or just having a cook stove for outside. It uses butane and not propane. Though they do make a model that uses both. This one specially only uses the cans of butane. I like it because it fits inside the little insert which has a cover. Just seems safer than having a 1# propane bottle hanging off the side. This buddy cooks too. Puts out a good amount of heat and has very good adjustment for between high and low flame level. Also has auto start ignitor that works great. I recommend this one.

I got this to use for when I'm canning hot-packed foods. I like to can in large batches, but can't fit my biggest stock pots on the stove with my pressure canner. This extra burner solved that problem easily. No more reaching around a hot canner for smaller, simmering pots. I've burned myself more than once doing that, and have the scars to show for it. This burner was very easy to use, is lightweight and very portable. The case is nice, but seems a bit flimsy. I'll only be using it at home, so it'll be fine on a shelf, but if you plan on taking where it might get jostled around a lot, I don't know how well it'll hold up. The burner itself warped slightly when the butane was locked into place, but flattened out once the stockpot was on it, and was stable and sturdy during use. It didn't wobble or slide on the counter, either. The ignition worked fine for me and the flame was easy to adjust to any level I needed. When I was finished using it, it cooled down quickly, and it was easy to remove the butane cannister, wipe the burner clean, and put it back in the case until my next canning session. I'm probably going to get a second one to make canning even more streamlined, and it's always good to have a backup in the event of an emergency. I love that this burner is safe to use indoors, and hope to be able to can outside with it in the summer months. My only concern is that I don't know if it could handle the weight. I have an All American pressure canner that, when fully loaded, holds 7 quarts and 7 pints. That's a big ask from such a lightweight, portable burner. The canner itself is quite heavy, but add a gallon and a half of water and all those jars? 😬 I'll update if I dare give that a try. On the other hand, I won't hesitate to do single-tiered batches with a water bath canner on it!

It's wonderful for what it does. Love the light weight. For a portable unit it's quite sturdy. There are only a couple of issues that keeps me from a 5 start rating. The carrying case is a bit of a joke. VERY flimsy and cheep. It gets the job done but don't think for a second it's a hefty case for rugged camping travel. Another thing that bothers me is the SPARK that lights the gas doesn't always spark well. It might take two or three tries of clicking for the spark to ignite. You can always use a match or a lighter stick, but that defeats the purpose. Lastly, the instructions warn you NOT to use an over sized skillet when cooking. The bottom of the pan should NOT extend beyond the butane canister. So if you're making an omelet or something small for yourself it's fine. If you're hoping to make fried chicken and veggies in a large pan for four people the warning is concerning.

I grew up in a household with natural gas and as a semi-pro chef, I know that this is the way to cook. But where I live there is only electricity and I have missed certain dishes as a result. Stir-frying, blackening, and just that instant heat that you get from using gas. Likes: The unit cooks fast and though one might think butane would be used up quickly, it really is not if one observes their flame with care. At about 25%, a flame of what I would consider high is achieved, thus any more fuel used is superfluous. Blackening of meats as most chefs know, requires an extremely hot skillet. This unit gives forth in record time. As I still use electric and only periodically for special dinners, use this unit, I was able to gauge my butane use: 5 meals on one can of butane. The butane canisters can be gotten relatively cheap at WM in the camping section. Dislikes: The aforementioned flame adjustment has a kind of hair trigger. It is difficult to attain a very low flame for simmering, etc. It's not high or off, but the adjustment is not near as artful as a gas stove for instance. Overall, a great investment, cheap and I love being able to prepare meals with that instant-heat!

Very nice and easy to use. It boiled a 4 qt pot of water for my pasta in minutes. It has a flame adjusting knob that goes from very low to high nicely. Perfect size BTU for all purposes. I highly recommend this stove. Please note : I had to order the butane gas from Home Depot because they don't ship that in my area.

You get what you pay for, I like the brass material used and chose this one over the Coleman even with the going discount on it. I used the ace hardware “sertano” (misspelled) cartridge and it worked just fine.

I purchased this to use in my canning when I needed an additional burner. It works great! I use it nowadays for an additional burner when cooking large meals too. I've even put a large cast iron skillet on it and fried fish just fine. Plenty of heat to keep the skillet and grease hot and get crispy coating on the fish while cooking to flaky goodness.

Use this all the time. Must buy

Good quality. Works as expected.

Je l’avais acheté pour faire de la vraie fondue chinoise à deux compartiments. De plus, je suis contente de l’avoir en cas de panne d’électricité. Très sécuritaire.

Water is boiling really fast and you can cook anything . The service is great!!! The unit was damaged when received and they sent me a replacement one very fast.

Fast to boil and easy to control temperature.
