Should I buy Volcano Stove

[dealrocker]

Just wondering if anyone has used a Volcano stove. I saw one at Costco and thought it might be a good purchase. The best point of this stove is that it is a multi-fuel (charcoal, propane, wood). I want advice before I plunk down my hard earned cash.


Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I have not had any experience with the device. However, it seems rather neat and tidy for a small single source cooking device. Have you checked out the website http://www.volcano2.com. There is a neat presentation immediately when one goes there. I think it would almost sell itself. There are many great campers and outdoorsmen/women registered here so perhaps in time others will chime in with their $0.02, mine's only worth about -$1.00 so IOU ninety-eight cents. Welcome to the forum! or did I already say that?

I have the volcano 2 stove and love it. It's a great little grill for steaks and burgers, but what I really bought it for was dutch oven cooking. I can stack the ovens and make a whole meal at once in a relatively small space. I use charcoal in mine because that works best with dutch oven cooking and it's fairly easy to keep the temps regulated because of the double wall construction. I also like that the outside stays pretty cool to the touch because I have kids and I worry about them getting burned. Plus it folds up and fits in a bag for travel. Only downside I've found is that you have to turn the whole thing over to empty out ashes and because it folds up, it can be a little awkward to dump. Other than that I'm very happy with it.
