Primus Atle BBQ & Burner Stove

R V camping, Compact , Easy to pack away . Prefer the ATLE BBQ Stove over my Coleman

Nice piece of gear for car camping. When you use the grill option the grease burns to the area below - which is unavoidable I am sure. I worry about animals being attracted to it at a camp site. We are going to try lining it with tin foil for easier clean up.

I had read all the reviews so was prepared for the possible problem of finding propane to fit the connection. There is NO problem. All the current brands fit. No need at all for any contrivance. Buy whatever brand and hook it up. I was also worried about control of the burners...they DO go to a very very low simmer. I am not sure why others had a problem but we simmered chicken w/ peppers and red onions seasoned with peanut sauce and cilantro sauce and cooked pasta and everything was perfect. Also fried eggs were great and cooked sunny side up for breakfast. Only tiny complaint is the wind screen on the left side would not allow us to open the top of the cookstove initially but my husband bent it slightly and it opens and closes just fine. as far as the razor sharp edges...I am not sure what others are doing but there is no need to run your fingers along the metal . It is NOT a problem. This is a GREAT stove and you will love cooking on it.

I purchased this as an accessory for backyard cooking and family outings. Like previous reviewers I needed to soften some sharp edges of the cover with sandpaper. Also, I needed to shim two of the foot pads with rubber hose washers to balance the stove. The sheet metal construction evidently yielded to flexing but the stove is now balanced. Flame control takes a bit of patience and tweeking. The flame control is difficult to keep at a simmer. Overall, I like the stove despite the minor quirks because it is solid and the price was hard to beat.

I have not actually used the stove yet. I bought it as a backup for times when our electrical power goes out. It looks to be a well built stove.
