I think I have to have this thing.
Does any have one?

Looks like it would be very useful on the road! And nice that you can use three different types of fuel.

That does look like a handy gadget to have.

I don't own one, but I have used them on river trips. When you want to boil water quickly, nothing is better.

That does look handy and doesn't take up much storage space.

I have a friend who uses one with a GI-normous wok. (Mmmm ... Thai food ...)

What a neat gizmo. Was looking at the comparisons between the two styles they have. Certainly a lot less cumbersome than my Coleman Road Grill. I really like the idea of 3 fuel type options. Would be nice if you wanted to sit outside on a cold evening and start a small wood burning fire to gather round to stay warm. They even had a V-day promo....but I'll have to pass, and bookmarked that one for sure.

Someone was using one on the beach the other day - they love theirs. Were surprised I knew what it was - all because of this forum

I just now (April 1) ordered the Volcano II Deluxe. I'll report back when I get it.
Right now, it's on sale for $135 (from $150) plus $20 shipping.

Hi mitch5252,

That is an unique gadget. I can't wait to here how well you like yours.

Oh, I forgot. We also brought a volcano stove along with us on river trips, along with another Partners 4-burner stove. It's great for getting water to boil in nothing flat.

Got the Volcano 2 the other day and have so far, grilled chicken and pork tenderloin (2 different days). I LOVE the stove, but I see I have a LOT to learn about cooking with charcoal. I'm trying burgers tonight on it. Haven't cooked with the propane attachment yet, but that thing really throws out the heat.

Since I graded myself a D+ on my first two grilling attempts, I went ahead and ordered the darn instructions/cookbook ($17). There are no instructions anywhere on the internet that I could find, and the included instructions were sketchy at best. I am still very unclear on what to put where, due to the "heat diffuser" piece.

The thing is a nifty piece of engineering and is very sturdily built, although weighing in at a hefty 26# (including propane attachment and both packing boxes). Holds my #10 DO with no problem. That'l be my next venture - a DO meal. The included carrying case appears well made, too.

That's my story. I'll take a photo of the burgers cooking tonight. Trying to mimic Liz, I'll attempt an artistic spin on the picture (I'm not holding out much hope of success!)
