In other words, the FireDisc should last a lot longer than its five-year limited warranty. ![]() It has the simplicity and strength of something you’d expect to last a lifetime (with the proper care). Though you probably won’t be hauling the Original FireDisc Portable Propane Cooker far from your car (in total it weighs 55 pounds, the most of any stove we tested), it does break down into three fairly easy-to-carry components: two supporting trusses and one large pan. This stove is great for the most committed car campers and outdoor gourmets, but for most campers, its cost and durability are overkill. But managing them does require a certain amount of finesse-with a stove this powerful, it’s easier to burn your food than to keep the heat low. And the controls allow for some impressive subtlety. For instance, you can sear a steak or blister peppers at a higher heat than on our other picks for a darker char in faster time, which means you can cook more food in the same amount of time. But with its large, three-way windscreen, a hookup for a big (5 to 20 pounds) propane bottle, and a 40,000 Btu output (double that of the Coleman Classic), the Mountaineer lets you do more in the way of high-heat cooking than our other picks. ![]() Weighing just over 16 pounds, it’s 4 pounds heavier than the Coleman Classic. It’s more expensive than either of our Coleman picks, but if you’re comfortable with the jump in cost, the Mountaineer is worth the investment. The heavy-gauge, all-aluminum Camp Chef Mountaineer is built like the tough, classic camping equipment you hear salty old-timers or vintage-equipment nerds talk about.
