Champion Power Equipment 6,000 Watt 337cc Gas Powered Generator With Wheel Kit 40046/41111 Review

Have had the 40046 Champion generator for almost 2 yrs now. Still starts on 1rst or 2nd pull{after I took the china plug out and put in a NGK}. Manual tells witch NGK plug to use but It came with a china plug? This engine has ran flawless! It is a 11hp engine and takes a little strength to pull start but I'm disabled and can do it.{bad back}.
Champion builds thier engines themselves and they do supply parts. They do have 24 hr help you can call if you need it. Try that with other companies. I'm on here looking to by one of Champions pressure washers now. I have complete faith in this company.

These engines are knock offs of a honda motor like several other companys are doing. But this company does supply parts and assistance unlike most other companys have. The biggest problem out there when buying a generator is getting a company with 24 hr assistance in case of starting issues. That is a must! {Thats rule no. 1}. { other Rule no. 1 is parts availibilty} This has been a real good generator.

I'd buy another one from them if I needed another generator.
They have a website that shows part numbers for replacement parts. I tried looking up other companies parts lists and most of them dont have replacement parts.{Beware of this}. Champion engines have steel sleeve cylinders too. Only the high end briggs and Kohlers have that. The briggs vanguard and Kohler courage are now built in china. Figured I was going to get a china motor either way so get the cheapest that has replacement parts??? Cant beatem join em huh?

The price for these generators are low because Champion builds thier own engines,staters,control panels etc... They dont buy them from other suppliers like other companies do. The only bad thing I've read about Champion generators is noise level. But every gas generator I've ever heard was loud to me too. This one is no exception to that complaint.

Camp Chef RCB60 Deluxe roller carry bag Review

Camp Chef RCB60 Deluxe roller carry bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this today, for my Camp Chef Explorer 2-burner stove, at a local sporting goods store. It came in a factory taped box. The bag is a little different from what is shown, mine says CAMP CHEF and SPORT GRILL in big red letters on the front. I think I like the plain bag better, but really, it's just lipstick.
The bag itself is made out of very heavy duty ballistic cloth and is lined in a water resistant vinyl. It has carry handles like the one you see in the picture on both ends, so 2 people can carry it. It has 3 inline roller blade style wheels that look like they are somehow riveted into the bag, as opposed to being screwed in... a cost cutting feature.
There are some skid pads on the back of the bag which will be good as you drag it up a flight of stairs. The zipper opens 3/4 of the way around the top side of the bag making it easy to get the stove in and out.
If you look carefully at the picture you will see that there is a curved area in the back of the bag, I thought this was for wheels, but its really storage for some 1LB propane tanks, at least that's what the picture on the box shows. My Explorer, I think, might be a smidgen too big to have room for the tanks. Besides, you'd need an adapter to use the 1LB tanks, which I don't have.
I also placed two of the single burner cast iron grill/griddles on the stove after placing it into the bag. On top of that I placed the wheel and windscreen bag. This item has 3 heavy duty velcro straps to secure everything nicely. Once I got everything in there I stood the unit up on the wheels and dragged it around, it works really well.
I wanted to get the RCB90 bag for the 3 burner units to give me some extra space, but the bags at the shop did not have the velcro straps... which are very important in keeping everything together.
I think I'll use the rounded area for the propane tanks to store a little tool bag with the miscellaneous hardware, hose, crescent wrench, etc.
All in all, this bag is very reasonably priced for what you get and how it is designed.
If it didn't have the big bold lettering, it would make a nice travel duffel too.

Camp Chef LS60P Side shelf set for EX60LW, EX170LW, EX280LW Review

Camp Chef LS60P Side shelf set for EX60LW, EX170LW, EX280LW

It is great to have the extra work space to place cooking utensils, spices etc. while cooking on my Expedition 2X. As an added bonus it acts as a cover for the stove when not in used.
My only complaint is the 'stops' should be ~ 3/16" higher because when the shelfs are in the open position they are not parallel with the stove top, slanting toward the outside. Not a big problem but easily could have been avoided. I added two rubber 'bumpers' to fix.

Outdoor Camp Oven with Grill Review

Outdoor Camp Oven with Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After using the Camp Chef Camp oven for the last year, this new version came out and I wasn't sure what they could change on the oven..
Lets start with the new features:
old version loose thermometer NOW fixed built into the oven ++
Handles are much better easier to move the oven
Griddle on top is very versatile
comes with bulk tank hose!
This Stove/Oven combo is great for Emergency preparedness, earthquake kits, or end of the world kits!! I can cook just about anything with no electricity or power.
In my pictures you can see this thing comes OUT OF THE BOX ASSEMBLED, I cant stand hard to understand directions written in poor English... two pieces of tape, some plastic and I was cooking. The ease of use it 5 stars.
This thing is super quiet and has a perfect flame on top.
NOTE: when you light the oven part you just open the door and click it on and you can see if it is lit through a hole marked with an arrow.
Everything on this stove is instalight (no matches)

Scientific Utility Brands MF003 3 Pack Magic Flame Fuel Review

Scientific Utility Brands MF003 3 Pack Magic Flame Fuel
Average Reviews:

Bought two 3-packs of the smaller cans at a hardware store (they were out of the large ones). It proudly claims "Up to 3 hrs burn time" when in reality we got about 20 or 30 minutes out of each one. I guess they were lying - it did say "up to" and not "at least." Needless to stay our little buffet did not stay warm near as long as expected. Terrible, would not recommend.

Camp Chef Explorer Series EX-60LW 2-Burner Modular Cooking System, Black Review

Camp Chef Explorer Series EX-60LW 2-Burner Modular Cooking System, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've really enjoyed using this product. The price for the stove is not all inclusive for maximum enjoyment. In addition to the stove, you'll also need to purchase a propane tank. I'd also recommend the cast-iron griddle/grill plates designed to fit on the stove. You probably only need one, but if you want two they'll cost you about $20 a piece.
You can probably use standard cookware as you would on an oven range, but I've only used cast-iron cookware on the stove. If you have more expensive cookware, you may want to consider investing in a diffuser plate as the stove flame can be very hot! I haven't done so yet, but you also may want to consider installing the igniter which I believe costs $5-10 per burner. I also purchased the Camp Chef bag for transporting the stove. Even while in the bag, the stove is very heavy and not fun to carry around. Like I said in the title, this is a perfect stove to take camping if you're in a car and don't have to carry it far. For its power, it stores very well. Because it stores in a compact area (roughly 36x18x8) set-up is slightly more complicated than comparable stoves but remains fairly simple. You just slide the four legs into the bottom of the stove, snap the wind-shield in place, and plug in the propane tank. I've seen other stoves that have legs which simply fold up or down. All-in-all, this is a great product!
