I've owned this for 6 months now. Love the stove, even got the grill attachment. Excellent as well. Everything gets extremely hot. I was actually surprise by how hot things get. The cover, however, is too smaller. I end up not using it most of the time. I can see that the corners on the stove will easily rip the cover after repeater use. It is just too tight!! Save your money and just get generic oversize grill cover for your stove. When you do get the camp chef cover on, it does look beautiful.
.I wanted an outdoor cook surface for my wife, who is Asian, and who cooks a lot of deep fried and smelly foods. This seemed like the perfect answer. Unfortunately it arrived broken, but the manufacturer quickly shipped out the parts to fix it, no charge. The burners are excellent--high capacity. The frame around it however is a little weak. The shelves on the side, which collapse, are tricky to put up and down--they seem to stick, and I think part of the reason is they are too flimsy. Also, the wheels are very cheap wheels. I would like to see bigger and sturdier wheels on the unit. I would like to see a raised side wall--maybe six inches, around the burners, to help block out the wind. I realize this unit is built to be portable, so they may have made it flimsy to save on weight, but I would like to see a unit that is sturdier and heavier. However, in looking a lot of outdoor cook surfaces this appeared to be one of the best for the price, and it certainly is serving its purpose. We keep it covered in the garage, and my wife simply wheels it close to the back door to our kitchen, and with a rolling butcher block type cart we also purchased, she has an outdoor kitchen set up in minutes.
