This stove can take a beating and will likely be providing a good flame for years to come.

The Everest will boil a liter of water in under 7 minutes. There is very little maintenance required for this stove due to the clean and durable construction. We did notice that the wind guard takes a little practice to make sure it locks correctly and there is not a dedicated propane connection area for storage.

The stove will likely burn your fuel a little faster than other lower BTU models so be aware of this change from your old stove. If you are looking for a small stove for canoeing or the like, this one might be on the large side. Take a look a some of the smaller one burner style stoves for these trips.

Although we noted a few concerns with the Everest, none of them were deal breakers. There were so many positives for this one that it wasn’t a problem rating this as #1. There was a nice large cooking area and good wind protection. Because of the high output burners, this stove performs very well in those windy and wet camping outings. Prices range from $75 to $125.

Insider Tips

Don’t overlook the benefit of having a little more room for your larger pots and pans on the Everest stove. This one has flared out wind guards to allow for a little larger sized pot and pans. Very nice when cooking for larger groups or when you are cooking a multi-course meal. Camp Chef makes a carrying bag that you can purchase separately as well as a griddle accessory that works well when cooking large meals.
