It is great to have the extra work space to place cooking utensils, spices etc. while cooking on my Expedition 2X. As an added bonus it acts as a cover for the stove when not in used.

My only complaint is the 'stops' should be ~ 3/16" higher because when the shelfs are in the open position they are not parallel with the stove top, slanting toward the outside. Not a big problem but easily could have been avoided. I added two rubber 'bumpers' to fix.

Ordered theses shelves to go along with a Camp Chef stove that I received for Christmas. The online description and reviews for these shelves were very good, but I was still somewhat skeptical when placing the order. I have to say that Camp Chef exceeded my expectations. The shelves come with two side bars that are installed on each end of the stove in order to provide support for any weight that may be placed on the shelves. This makes the shelves very stable and durable. I also was impressed with the powder coat type finish on the shelves. I expect the finish will be very scratch and rust resistant. When not in use Camp Chef has designed the shelves to fold inward to provide a hard surface cover for the stove which will keep dust and water out of the stove burners. Great design, great fit and finish. I have no problem rating this product 5 stars.

The photos really only show two pieces: the two red shelves. There are actually four pieces, as noted by another reviewer. There are two thick iron loops that bolt to the stove that form the supports for the shelves. I have posted a couple of photos that show these brackets (and shelves) mounted to a Browning Buckmark II (Expedition 2X) stove.

If you look at your compatible stove, you'll find two holes in each corner: one on the vertical face facing either toward the front or the back, depending on the corner (the shelves will attach here). The other hole will be on the horizontal plane. This hole is where the support bracket mounts. Again, see the uploated photos of this support bracket.

So, it's a very sturdy mount.

Echoing another review, the shelves are powder coated red. It's not a glossy, fragile red. It's a matte, slightly roughed powder finish. There are friction tabs on the ends of the shelves which pinch around the stove top when closed. It's a very tight fit ... the shelves will NOT accidentally open. Ever.

So, 30-40 may seem like a lot for a couple of flimsy shelves, but they are far from flimsy, there's a lot of metal involved, and it's well thought out.

As noted, the shelves are not perfectly level. They angle slightly down, away from the stove. This may be intentional -safety so that nothing slides into the burner. Not sure. Either way, it's fairly slight, so either live with it or shim it with bumpers or something.

One note. The best price I've found was at Sportsmen's Warehouse for 31.

Honest reviews on Camp Chef Folding Side Shelves - Two Burner Stove

I bought the Camp Chep Exlporer Series EX-60LW-2 Burner Modular Cooking System to do my canning of hot peppers during the summer. I immediately discovered that I needed a table or shelves to hold my stuff I needed when canning. I saw the add on table accessory and knew this was what I needed. I used it on my last run of pickled peppers and they worked great. Easy to install and are not flimsey. I highly recommend.

If you have a Camp Chef Explorer, you know there is no place to set utensils, plates, and other cooking needs down where you need them the most. These shelves not only fill that need, but also store in whatever cover or case you are using by simply folding them over the burners. Easy to install, great to use. The down side is leveling, but it is a minor issue that is easily resolved using a little bit of logic. The upside is much needed space!
