I plan to carry a Skottle to do most of my grilling and frying while traveling, but I obviously need a stove as well for boiling water/vegetables, making soup, pasta, chili, beans, etc. I want something simple, durable, and reliable. Most of the options I am seeing from Camp Chef, Coleman, and others are propane bottle use only, I don't want to be forced into propane as my only option for fuel. I found a Coleman Guide Series Powerhouse model that appears to be a dual fuel system which is much more attractive as having a white fuel option is more efficient. That said, it appears to be a bigger stove and far less streamlined.
Am I over thinking this here or is a propane only stove fine even though it's less efficient and requires a specific bottle? I mean after all, I will be using bottles for the Skottle as well, but I'd like to keep from having an entire pallet of the consumable bottles on board just to be able to cook.
Is one of these brands better than the other? I hear great things about Partner Stoves as well, but their website is archaic and extremely vague so I can't get much detail about their product or pricing. Thanks for any insight here!
