Unlike its namesake, the Everest 2-Burner camping stove is surprisingly small and compact. Don’t let its size fool you, though. As Camp Chef says, the Everest packs a ton of power, making it the perfect outdoor cooking tool for any prospective camper, fisherman, tailgater, or mountaineer thanks to its unobtrusive size and utility.

Who is This Stove for?

If you’re the type of person who enjoys the occasional (or frequent) outdoor adventure, the Everest should be a part of your equipment. Campers should feel immediately at home with this incredible cooking tool, and fishermen, hikers, and tailgaters will like it, too. That’s because the Everest packs a ton of cooking power in a small, unobstructed package - it won’t be getting in the way of any other important equipment you may be handling.

However, if you’re a first-time outdoorsman, or if you’re just tagging along for someone else’s adventure, don’t feel obligated to invest in an Everest (or any other product from Camp Chef). It’s a little pricey, and while cooking in the woods with what is essentially a portable stove is great, it certainly isn’t a necessary part of the camping experience.

What’s Included?

When you purchase your Everest, you may be disappointed with the lack of accessories included with the product. Don’t worry, though; you’ll still be able to get all your outdoor cooking done despite this. However, to truly get the most out of your Everest, be prepared to invest a little more than you originally bargained for.

For example, the Everest model has a propane cylinder adapter, but it’s up to you to acquire a propane bottle or tank for yourself. Additionally, you’ll need your own pots and pans.

Overview of Features

A matchless ignition system lets you fire it up quickly and easily, while two high-pressure burners keep the heat pumping for as long as you need. A nickel-coated steel cooking grate is tough and durable enough to handle any pot, pan, griddle, and skillet you throw at it.

Plus, it’s all wrapped up neatly in a fine-looking carry case and handle. In short, the Everest is everything you need in an outdoor cooking system. The Everest does come with a few cool additional elements, however. You’ll have a 3-sided windscreen, as well as a stainless-steel drip tray for easy cleaning up.

The level of investment required for you to make the most of the Everest will depend on how easy-going you are. For convenience’s sake, let’s just say that you’ll need to buy a few pots, pans, or skillets.

How to Use Camp Chef Everest 2 Burner Stove

Luckily, you don’t need to be an outdoor Master Chef in order to use the Everest. That’s because this product was designed for easy use and convenience, so all you have to do is set it up on a stand or table and then fire up the matchless ignition.

You can use the Everest like any other stove, but you’ll need your own pots, pans, skillets, and griddles. Once you’ve got that, you should always set up the Everest’s wind barriers, even if you aren’t experiencing any storms or cyclones.

Be sure to bring a spare propane canister or bottle so that you don’t get caught without the means to cook your delicious eats.

Alternative

If the cost of the Everest seems just a little bit too steep for your liking, there are two other great products to check out, both coming in at a lower price. The first of these is the Outfitter series of outdoor camp stoves from Stansport, which includes many of the great features of the Everest at a cheaper price. The second is the Ignite from Eureka!, which offers a little less in the way of utility, but like the Outfitter, it is significantly less costly than the Everest.

Unfortunately, as with basically all outdoor stoves, you’ll need to buy a few accessories to truly get the most use out of them. This can be a problem for people on a budget, so we recommend that you check out these two cheaper alternatives if your money is tight.

Conclusion

Thanks to smart design choices and plenty of utility in even the most demanding of weather conditions, the Everest from Camp Chef is the perfect outdoor stove for any camper or outdoorsman. While the lack of included accessories may be disappointing, we guarantee that you won’t be dissatisfied with the immense power this device can project. Be sure to include this product in your rucksack on your next adventure.
