I bought this from a local chain store, and it seemed to work ok. It was a little wobbly for me, but I was also doing homebrew with this unit. It seemed to wobble when I had two 10 gallon pots on it. But it wasn't so bad that I didn't use it still. Then when I turned up the heat, the flame would hit the bottom of my pot (which is ok) and travel to the edge. The flame got the frame, which appears to be hot rolled bar, and it got red hot. It started to sag in the middle and turn into a V shape from the weight and heat. I just don't think it was designed with heavy duty enough materials for a large pot application, such as chili for a large group, or stews for large groups. It would probably work ok for small and light camping, but I also thought the BG10 burners on it were too hot to work on my two burner skillet from Campchef. It got hot spots and did not seem to distribute the heat as well as other cookers I have used. I took this one back after it started to fold in the middle and got a different brand.

I bought this burner under the impression that you could use it with fry pans. I cook for a large group and wanted to use three frying pans at once. This unit burns too hot, turns your pans completely black and cannot be toned down to use this way. I even bought baffle plates of steel to place on top to make it burn cooler, but that did not help. I sent it back to the factory to have them check it, they siad it was burning fine. This is designed for large pots only to cook crab or corn, etc.I am looking now for the same size, but with smaller burners.

We camp throughout the year. In the late fall, I head to the mountains with the guys where it is typically high 30s low 40s during the day. We have always struggled with the tailgate type gas grills with little success. At these temps, those grills take forever to get up to temperature.This grill is awesome. It will quickly bring a large pot of water to a boil. We purchased some griddles to make bacon and pancakes and we had no problems even in the 30s. With all three burners running, it sounds like the space shuttle at launch :)
Highly recommended.
Honest reviews on King Kooker CS42 Portable Propane 54,000-BTU Triple-Burner Outdoor
I was excited about this stove, I have been rebuilding My BBQ trailer and this was to replace an old home made stove. I got it in on Friday and immediately began to assemble it. I found the the center burner was the wrong height and I could not install the gas header as it was manufactured. Reluctantly I took a grinder to my brand new stove and cut out about a 1/4" or more of material so that the burner would level out. I got that all lind out and was looking the rest of the pieces over and found that one baffle plate had been damaged before it was painted. I can fix it with one or two strikes of the hammer, But this is my new stove.OK now to the good Points. The Stove just looks Good, it looks good on the cooker trailer as well. The burners function beautifully. After reading some of the reviews on this site I was slightly worried that I was going to have a Turkey fryer with no heat control, not true. These are high pressure burners. (5 lb pressure, Your house only has about 5 oz of pressure). This had a Turkey frying pot hot in just a few minutes and would have had it boiling in about ten I think if I had let it kept going. This is perfect for making beans etc.
Bottom line is I think I will have many years of good service out of this stove, I just hated to take a grinder and a hammer to it before I could even cook on it.
