I like it, but apparently only one burner all the way across.
I take you can also use pots/skillets on this besides barbecuing?
If so, this could be a replacement for my current stove.

We picked up one at REI that is very similar and is also made by BRUNTON http://www.brunton.com/product.php?id=617.

It has 75% grill area and a single burner. We find that it works really well for steaks, grilled chicken, foil wrapped salmon steaks, etc. The burner and the grill have separate dials and they adjust the heat up and down very well.

Note: The igniter has been "iffy" at times.

I like it.
The grilling side would be easier to use than my Foxhill oven that I set on top of one of my burners.

Any thoughts on the quality of Brunton vs. Coleman? Coleman makes a very similar grill/stove combo, I've heard mixed reviews of that.

If you are talking about the Coleman Max I would pass. I friend of mine has/had one. He had a pot on the grill part heating and the reflected heat was too much for the grill causing it to melt (we already had another pot on the burner). Yep, we couldn't believe it either when he lifted the pot and the grill underneath it had melted and sagged into the body of the grill. It may have said not to heat pots on that side in the instructions, but like most of us he never read them.

Brunton customer service is second to none!!
I bought the Windy River stove on Ebay- though new, the regulator was giving me problem when used at high elevation, a phone call to customer service yield a brand new regulator - no question asked at no charge!
means a lot to me and I will continue buying this company products without hesitation!

I have the Coleman Max as well and would not recommend it for grilling. It heats very unevenly. I have not found the perfect gas grill yet but my Solaire Anywhere Grill comes, by far, the closest, albeit expensive. I'm sold on the infrared burner.

Based on the link provided by the OP, it states that the grill is cast iron, yet the weight of the grill is only 10lbs...Doesn't make sense, and it looks like the same aluminum grill that they use on their stove/grill combo. I purchased the stove/grill combo and was disappointed in the grill so I returned it. If this grill is truely cast iron, I'd definitely give it a try; if not, I'll stick with lugging my Weber Q220 grill around.
