I have both the 2 burner and the larger 3 burner camp stove. The 3 burner burns hotter and more evenly IMO. It also has more room for larger pots and skillets. I got the 3 burner on eBay and I see they are still available. I don't know how well they work with a griddle, never tried. I use the 2 burner to heat the Coleman coffee pot or just as a food warmer. I love that Coleman fuel, no propane for me

We've had our Camp Chef for a number of years and it works great. We put a hanging thermometer in the oven to make sure we get the temp right for baking. Also have the rugged zip close cover with handles on both ends for easy carry.

We bought the Volcano after reading this thread and based on SteveSueMac's post.
We couldn't be happier with the grill. It's great! Thank you for the great info and reco! It was great timing seeing this thread, as we had been looking and discussing what grill to get for months. The decision to get the Volcano came just in time for our vacation.
With three fuel options for cooking - the Volcano is super versitile. We got to really test it out on our 10 day vaca in VA...using lump charcoal, it cooked the food so easily. Also easy clean up and storage.
We bought an adaptor to hook up to propane and will try that out before the summer is done.
This forum is a great resource for info and help!

We also use a Volcano and have a Nu-Wave Induction burner - love them both. I bought the Kevlar top for the Volcano and even made beer can chicken on it with the cover! I like it folds up to fit in the closet. I lucked out and got a set of induction cookware on clearance at Tuesday Morning that stacks and has removeable handles like the Magma set. I like them so much, I went back to get a set for home and they were all gone

I have a question for you camp chef users.....the 2 burner stove is 30,000 BTU per burner, do you find you burn through a lot of propane with these?

Max 30,000 BTU. We've only had ours for a couple weeks, so it's hard to gauge, but we are cooking mostly between low and medium. I expect to get around 15 to 20 hours off a 20# tank. We really like it so far.

We have the 3 burner campchef and love it. Even got the pizza oven that sits on top of 2 burners. Love making our pizzas when camping. The best pizza we ever had comes out of that oven.

I use a Camco 57321 Universal BBQ/Appliance Stand. They fold completely flat and can be stored in the outside storage area.
