Chef Master15,000 BTU Output Portable Butane Camping Stove, Double Wind-Guard Portable Stove Burner, Piezo Click Ignition for Emergencies, Tailgating, Hiking, Backpacking & Camping Essentials - 90019

Excellent stove with a powerful, high-intensity flame. It makes cooking much easier, especially for dishes like fried rice that require high heat for the perfect texture and flavor.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this several years ago to teach Wok Cooking on my channel and, with an attachment it looks and works great. These burners and this particular brand is used outdoors by professionals all the time. I use it inside over my electric glass range so the stove fan can still carry out the smoke and steam from cooking. The plastic feet tend to slide around on that surface but an easy fix I applied were round rubber adhesive stickers that can be purchase for the bottoms of items that need grip. Cook times are faster with gas than electric heat because it's instant. It's not much bigger than one gas range burner, just a few more inches down one side to hold a can of butane. Easy to use, fairly light weight. If I were to change anything, I would like an attachment to hook up a hose to a larger tank but I think this can be purchased with a versatile attachment too. I recommend high btu like this 15000 or higher if you need really high heat, like wok cooking requires.

I purchased this 15,000 BTU model to use for wok cooking as well as for high-heat searing the surface of sous vide steaks. It functions extremely well for both of those tasks, quickly heating pans to the "screaming hot" temperatures required for certain types of specialized cooking. It's also quite easy to use. From insertion of the butane cartridge, to lighting the burner, to ease of clean up, each task is a breeze.The burner is also quite lightweight and very portable. That's a positive benefit most of the time, however it does mean you shouldn't make vigorous shaking/tossing movements with a wok or you'll risk moving the burner, too. But using it with care is a small price to pay for the high output flame generated from this stove top.The only downside I've encountered is the "hard carrying case" that's included with the burner. "Hard" is not a word I would use to describe the flimsy plastic sheath-like thing that surrounded the stove when I opened the package. If the plastic used was any thinner, it would be translucent, and the tiny plastic hinges are laughable. Honestly, the case is an absolute joke ... a bad joke. A very bad joke.One more thing: Before I purchased this Chef Master 90019 15,000 BTU portable stove I asked other purchasers if non-Chef Master butane refills could be used. (I live in an area where butane canisters can't be shipped to individuals, and Chef Master brand items are not available in my state.) Although I didn't receive a satisfactory answer to my question at that time, I can provide the definitive answer now. Yes, other brands of 8 ounce butane canisters absolutely do work with this stove. I've used 8 ounce notched Sterno brand butane canisters as well as Coleman branded ones, and both brands are compatible with this stove.

We love this burner but it did take us a while to figure out how to start the stove. We did not see anywhere in the instructions that there is a black button underneath the butane can that has to be pushed to light the burner. Digging around, we found it and tried it but it was not mentioned in the instructions, at least to our understanding. Otherwise, it is wonderful, light, efficient and it works.

nice and compact. Plenty of heat.
