I received my Cook Partner stove from Partner Steel Co.

It is the 18" model with two extra slats welded on. It is very well made and I am happy with it thus far.

Today I placed an order for a shorter 1 foot hose so I can use the Coleman 1lb propane bottles more easily with it for quick cooking.

Could you post a picture with a small frying pan (maybe 8-10") and a small backpacking type 1qt pot side by side on the stove? I'm trying to see if the 18" stove is spacious enough to hold the pots I like to use.
I've got to be able to cook a nice New York Strip and a pot of rice and I think the 18" stove is the right size for what I need.
A measurement from center to center on the burners would be helpful too. That is exactly the stove I have been thinking about to replace my dual fuel Coleman to free up some room in the back of my D-90 Land Rover.

I'm also curious to hear how it performs with the small 1 lb bottles

Sure I can do that for you tonight when I return home.

I tested it out with a 1 lb propane bottle last night. I just turned it on without cooking anything. I will be using the 1lb propane bottle mostly until I get a 5 lb bottle.

Yeah, I switched from Propane to a Coleman dual-fuel real cooking and a cheap butane catering-style burner for little jobs in warm weather.

Propane become too brittle for me: hoses, fittings, valves, more valves, cold weather, bottle weight, meh.

What I'd really like is a Coleman dual-fuel that is sturdier than the new one I bought.

I run 1 pound bottles all the time with an adapter from Home Depot. No issues whatsoever.

I have been using a Campchef Denali since 2010.
I think that model is now discontinued though.
For regular camping being propane it works great.
I also like the piezo starter on it, no need for matches or a spark starter.
Also has a grill in between the two burners which is nice.

If I ever had to replace it, I might look into the 22" Partner Steel stove, wish they came with a piezo starter on them though, they are very nice, and all of my BBQs at home have that feature on them too.

In use before I got my chuckbox from Pat.

I got one from the 70's and the 90's. Both are very good, does not seem to be wildly cheaper or anything. But the butane one is my go to for the most part. I run all sorts of camp stoves from the 5 dollar jammies, to the MSR reactor. When I travel, I'll often take the 5 dollar jammie, the 3 dollar adapter from the butane to the lindel adapter, and my snowpeak titanium cup. It ensures I have an adequate fuel source wherever I travel.

Thanks for the pics - that really helps a lot. A friend of mine has a 22" PS stove and I know it's bigger than I want - great stove though.
I have an 8" frying pan and a 6" diameter cook pot that I typically use on a solo camping trip. If my wife is along I bring a 10" pan so it looks like the 18" stove is just the right size for my needs.

My first stove was a Coleman Gladiator:
View attachment 350865

While it doesn't have the side deflectors of the partner stove, I find that the burners are better protected from wind by virtue of the 'risers' such that it performs (in my opinion) better than the partner in windy conditions even with the foldable wind screen in place. I would have kept it but when I went with a fridge slide, the Coleman wouldn't fit. So I went with partner.

Something which might be a factor is whether you plan on taking the stove with you on hikes. At basecamp, really any stove will likely do but if you plan on backpacking your stove, one of the lightweight set ups like those by MSR might be the ticket. Since these lightweight fuel stoves can also serve as a basecamp stove, getting a hikable stove first might provide more options vs a heavier stove which can't be taken on hikes.

We just bought this Camp Chef Ranger 2 to serve double duty in our popup trailer and our non trailer excursions. It was $98 on Amazon. It's one of very few stoves that run on a low pressure LP system so it works with the existing popup plumbing. Each burner is 17,000 BTU (almost triple the white gas Coleman stove it replaced). VERY happy with the purchase.

I have a Coleman stove that was given to me by my grandpa before he died. He used it on every camping trip we ever went on and its probably 40 years old and it won't quit. I see a lot of people talking about partner stoves. What makes partner stoves better than anything else?
